✦ Synopsis

This work describes the results of the searches for a Higgs boson decaying into gauge bosons carried out by the four LEP collaboration, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL. A lower bound of 109.7 GeV is set at 95% confidence level on the mass of a fermiophobic Higgs boson decaying into photons. This mass limit can be extended by considering the Higgs decay mode into weak bosons. Such a combination has been done by the L3 collaboration which extended the fermiophobic mass reach by 5 GeV.
