B2.00001: Status of the Higgs Searches at the LHC: The Channels Invited Speaker: Thomas Koffas In this presentation the most recent results from the Higgs searches conducted by both the CMS and ATLAS collaborations at the LHC will be presented. The main search channels will be reviewed and the most important results from each channel will be stated. Some insights to the main experimental challenges and the way that they were addressed by the individual channels will also be given. As an introduction, a brief overview of the CMS and ATLAS detector performances together with the object reconstruction will be included. [Preview Abstract] |

B2.00002: Status of the Higgs Searches at the LHC: Properties and Beyond the Standard Model Searches Invited Speaker: Markus Klute The discovery of the Higgs boson marks the start of a major program to measure its properties with the highest possible precision in order to validate the standard model. Precision mass measurements are discussed using the ZZ and diphoton channel. Within the context of the standard model, the measurement of the mass determines all properties of the Higgs boson. The measured signal rates in all available final states can be used to extract the information on the strength of the gauge and Yukawa couplings. Studies of angular and mass distributions yield information on spin, parity and more generally the tensor structure of the boson couplings. The studies of the recently observed boson are complemented by direct searches for beyond the standard model Higgs boson signatures. [Preview Abstract] |

B2.00003: Introducing the Higgs Boson Invited Speaker: Michael Peskin The evidence from Large Hadron Collider of the ``Higgs-like particle,'' a bosonic resonance at a mass near 125 GeV, suggests that this particle is the long-sought Higgs Boson. In this lecture, I will explain what a ``Higgs Boson'' is and why the presence of one or more Higgs Bosons is required by our current understanding of the weak and electromagnetic interactions. I will describe the predicted properties of the Higgs Boson that are now being tested at the LHC. I will discuss the future of high-precision studies of the Higgs Boson and its possible partners, and the road that the Higgs Boson provides to the exploration of the larger mysteries of particle physics.
