Conclusions Not only the Higgs’ DISCOVERY but also its IDENTIFICATION will be possible with ATLAS and CMS eventually (>30 fb-1) most important channels are H→γγ and H→ZZ→4l for accurate measurement of the peak we will measure MH to 1%, Γtot to 15% for MH > 200 GeV partial widths and couplings (ratios and absolutely) spin/CP and possible anomalous couplings the parameters of the Higgs potential need at least the SLHC 17

VBF analysis (14 TeV) MH < 140 GeV H→ττ is a powerful channel for VBF production Contribution in H→WW or H→γγ is not negligible. Experiments can improve their analysis using a more VBF-like selection, thanks to the high precision in reconstructing the forward jets
Forward jets (tag)
2 high pT tag jets at large rapidity
Higgs decay
no color flow between tag jets implies a rapidity gap, thus the central jet veto effective to reduce backgrounds Higgs mass is reconstructed using the collinear approximation and the angle between the two
