Description
The ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN recorded and analysed proton-proton collision data corresponding to 5 fb-1 at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and 20 fb-1 at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, delivered in the period 2010-2012 by the Large Hadron Collider.
These data revealed the existence of a new neutral particle with mass of about 125 GeV, observed in the gamma-gamma, ZZ and WW final states, compatible with the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model.
The prospects on the physics analysis with the data that LHC will deliver at the unprecedented centre-of-mass energy of 13-14 TeV in future runs are also briefly presented and discussed, giving an overview of the Higgs physics potential at future accelerators.
