Discovery Potential for the SM Higgs Boson in the Inclusive Search Channels

This paper gives an overview of the potential to discover a Standard Model Higgs Boson in the inclusive search channels at the ATLAS and CMS experiments. The most important decay modes, H to gamma, gamma, H to W,W to l,l,nu,nu and H to ZZ to 4l are described and a summary of recently published analyses using realistic detector simulations is presented.
