Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of Higgs physics at the LHC, integrating theoretical constraints, experimental data, and recent developments in the field.

Findings

Current experimental results support Higgs boson searches.

Theoretical uncertainties impact Higgs cross-section predictions.

Recent LHC data offer new insights into Higgs properties.

Abstract

In this talk I will begin by summarising the importance of the Higgs physics studies at the LHC. I will then give a short description of the pre-LHC constraints on the Higgs mass and the theoretical predictions for the LHC along with a discussion of the current experimental results, ending with prospects in the near future at the LHC. In addition to the material covered in the presented talk, I have included in the writeup, a critical appraisal of the theoretical uncertainties in the Higgs cross-sections at the Tevatron as well as a discussion of the recent experimental results from the LHC which have become available since the time of the workshop.
