Higgs boson properties and decays, searches for high mass Higgs bosons, and Higgs boson pair production

The study of the scalar sector of the standard model of particle physics is one of the main goals of the LHC physics programme. A precise characterisation of the Higgs boson, searches for extensions of the scalar sector, and the study of Higgs boson pair production are complementary in this exploration. This paper describes the status of Higgs boson physics analyses performed by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, focusing on the latest results from pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13 $TeV recorded in 2016, for an integrated luminosity of about 36 fb$^{-1}$.
