We examine the detection of the intermediate-mass Higgs (IMH) boson at the CERN LHC through the associate production channel {ital pp}{r_arrow}{ital t{bar t}HX}{r_arrow}{ital l}{gamma}{gamma}{ital X}{sup {prime}}. It is shown that by applying kinematic cuts or {ital b} tagging on the final state jets, the main backgrounds of {ital W}({r_arrow}{ital l}{nu})+{gamma}+{gamma}+({ital n}-jet) can be reduced substantially without significant loss of signals. It is possible to detect the IMH boson at the LHC through the {ital pp}{r_arrow}{ital t{bar t}HX} channel using a modest photon detector with mass resolution {approximately}3{percent} of the photon pair invariant mass. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
