We have performed a complete one-loop calculation of [gamma][gamma][r arrow][ital ZZ] in the standard model, including both gauge bosons and fermions in the loop. We confirm the large irreducible continuum background from the [ital W] boson loop found by Jikia. We have included the photon-photon luminosity, and find that the continuum background of transverse [ital Z] boson pairs prohibits finding a heavy Higgs boson with a mass [approx gt]350 GeV in this decay mode.
