Discovery potential at the LHC: channels relevant for SM Higgs

Abstract

The discovery potential of Standard Model Higgs searches at the LHC at 14 TeV center-of-mass energy is reviewed. Decay channels such as $H\to \gamma \gamma$, $H\to Z{Z}^{\star }\to 4\ell$, $H\to W{W}^{\star }$ and $H\to \tau \tau$ are considered. Results are based on the most recent full GEANT-based simulations performed by the ATLAS and CMS experiments.
