Review of Higgs Physics at the LHC

Nobody knows exactly what kind of Higgs physics will be unveiled when the Large Hadron Collider is turned on. There could be one Standard Model Higgs boson or five Higgs bosons as is the case in two-Higgs-doublet models; there could be more exotic or even completely unexpected scenarios. In order to be prepared for the LHC era, a solid understanding of Standard-Model or Standard-Model-like Higgs physics is necessary. The first goal is to discover the Higgs boson. Afterwards it has to be proven that the new particle is indeed a Higgs boson. The Higgs boson has to couple to mass and its spin has to be zero. Additional observables, such as decay width or CP eigenvalue, help to distinguish between different models. Due to an almost infinite variety of models, another important goal is to prepare for all possible situations. For example, Higgs bosons could be produced in decays of heavier pa rticles, or could decay to invisible particles. In the following, a selection of mainly new studies by ATLAS and CMS is presented.
