Sumario:The search for the Higgs Boson is one of the main goals for the LHC. If a Higgs-like particle is discovered, it is important to measure its properties and establish its nature, and assess which model describes its behavior. In order to establish this, the parameters of the Higgs Boson itself and of the Higgs Mechanism shall be experimentally addressed, most notably its mass,charge, spin and parity as well as its relative and absolute couplings to fermions and bosons, i.e. its partial decay widths. The plans for such measurements at the LHC, in the case of the Standard Model Higgs Boson, are reviewed, based on MC studies performed in ATLAS and CMS.
