The statistical procedure used in the search for the Higgs boson is investigated in this paper. A Bayesian hierarchical model is proposed that uses the information provided by the theory in the analysis of the data generated by the particle…
In high-energy physics (HEP), both the exclusion and discovery of new theories depend not only on the acquisition of high-quality experimental data but also on the rigorous application of statistical methods. These methods provide…
We review the results of the Standard Model Higgs boson search at LEP. An emphasis is put on revealing the details behind the statistical procedure developed by the LEP Higgs working group. The procedure is explained using a toy model which…
The large dataset of about 3000 fb$^{-1}$ that will be collected by both the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will be used to measure Higgs boson properties in detail. Studies based on current analyses have been…
The prospects for the determination of the properties of a hypothetical boson discovered at the Large Hadron Collider using measurements to be performed with the ATLAS and CMS detectors are summarized. The properties that are discussed are…
We consider the Higgs boson decay processes and its production and provide a parameterisation tailored for testing models of new physics. The choice of a particular parameterisation depends on a non-obvious balance of quantity and quality…
We have reached a new era of particle physics in which the properties of the Higgs boson, in particular its mass, turned into precision observables. Therefore, it is necessary to have accurate predictions of these properties in models for…
We describe a new technique to look for evidence of the Higgs mechanism. The usual method involves seeking evidence for the Higgs boson either directly or via the indirect effect that a virtual Higgs boson would have on a variety of…
The expected sensitivity of the LHC experiments to the discovery of the Higgs boson and the measurement of its properties is presented in the context of both the standard model and the its minimal supersymmetric extension. Prospects for a…
A SM-like Higgs boson can be produced in a variety of channels at the LHC. By combining information from production via gluon fusion and weak boson fusion, various partial widths and the total Higgs boson width can be extracted. Expected…
Using the likelihood ratio test statistic, we present a method which can be employed to test the hypothesis of a single Higgs boson using the matrix of measured signal strengths. This method can be applied in the presence of incomplete data…
Once a Higgs boson has been discovered, it is also important to know what are its properties, in particular its couplings to the other particles. At the LHC, there will be many observable channels that can be used to measure the relevant…
The quest for the Higgs boson of the Standard Model, which was a cornerstone in the physics programme at particle colliders operating at the energy frontier for several decades, is the subject of this review. After reviewing the formulation…
As soon as a significant signal in one of the Higgs boson discovery channels is observed, it will be important to establish its nature. To do this, a precise measurements of its properties is important. In this article the prospects to…
The 40 years old Standard Model, the theory of particle physics, seems to describe all experimental data very well. All of its elementary particles were identified and studied apart from the Higgs boson until 2012. For decades many…
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…
The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments, was a success achieved with only a percent of the entire dataset foreseen for the LHC. It opened a landscape of possibilities in the study of Higgs boson…
Methods and ideas to search for new phenomena at existing and future collider facilities like LEPII and the LHC are analysed. Emphasis is put on the experimental aspects of discovery strategies for the Higgs Boson of the Standard Model.…
The present status of theoretical calculations for signal and background processes relevant to the Higgs boson search at the LHC is reviewed, with special emphasis on recent developments. The issue of Higgs properties determination at the…
The search for the Higgs boson is a major physics goal of the future Large Hadron Collider. The discovery potential is described as a function of the Higgs mass. It is shown that a Standard Model Higgs boson can be discovered within the…
