Study of systematic errors on the scalar boson mass

Abstract

In this talk I presented studies of the scalar boson mass resolution at the LHC. I described in detail the limiting factors on resolution, the methods used to determine the mass resolution, and the statistical sample size required for these results for the ZZ* and diphoton final states. I finished the talk by comparing projections for various linear collider scenarios.
