Higgs Boson Physics at the LHC

Chien-Peng Yuan (Department of Physics and Astronomy, Michigan State University)

I will talk about the on-going Higgs Boson Physics at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). I will briefly discuss why it is a great triumph of the High Energy Physics community worldwide to discover the Higgs boson at the LHC in 2012, which was first predicted in 1964. I will then tell you what we know about this newly discovered particle, the very last piece of elementary particles predicted by the Standard Model of elementary particle physics, thus far. I will also tell you how we hope to probe physics beyond the Standard Model by closely examining the interactions of this particle with other elementary particles produced at the LHC.
