The Standard Model Higgs boson has been searched for by the four LEP experiments in the last twelve years. The data collected at LEP in the year 2000 suggest the first observation of a Higgs boson. In this letter, I describe the basic…

Information geometry can be used to understand and optimize Higgs measurements at the LHC. The Fisher information encodes the maximum sensitivity of observables to model parameters for a given experiment. Applied to higher-dimensional…
