Abstract
Hadronic radiation provides a tool to
distinguish different topologies of colour flow in
hard scattering processes. We study the structure of hadronic flow corresponding
to Higgs production and decay in high-energy hadron-hadron collisions.
In particular, the signal 
and background
processes are shown to have very different
radiation patterns, and this may provide a useful additional
method for distinguishing Higgs signal events from the QCD background.
