The hunt for the Higgs particle

This series of lectures will cover experimental search strategies for the Higgs boson from LEP to LHC/Tevatron and to a possible e+e- linear collider (NLC). The emphasis will be on specific benchmark decay channels, e.g. H->bb, H->ZZ->4 leptons, H-><sup>WW</sup>->lvjj, in...

Sumario:This series of lectures will cover experimental search strategies for the Higgs boson from LEP to LHC/Tevatron and to a possible e+e- linear collider (NLC). The emphasis will be on specific benchmark decay channels, e.g. H->bb, H->ZZ->4 leptons, H-><sup>WW</sup>->lvjj, in terms of signal reconstruction and background rejection, on Higgs boson searches in supersymmetric models, and on precise measurements of the Higgs boson properties if it were to be discovered at one of the future machines.
