"The Complete Abridged Higgs  Boson: The Status of Higgs Physics as of Jan 23, 2012"


Abstract:  The Higgs Boson is believed to be the missing piece that completes the Standard Model of Particle Physics, solving many of the leading theoretical mysteries of the electro-weak scale.  We expect a Higgs boson to be accessible to current experiments, and in fact the Large  Hadron Collider may have already given us an important clue about its existence.

In this talk I will employ both theoretical and experimental results to address the necessity of the Higgs Boson to the Standard Model, to discuss the status of Higgs physics as it stands now, after the first 7TeV run of LHC, and to explain how current Higgs searches are important tools for ruling on a variety of Beyond the Standard Model scenarios.
