Prospects of Higgs Physics at the LHC
The search for the Higgs boson is a major physics goal of the future Large
Hadron Collider. The discovery potential is described as a function of the
Higgs mass. It is shown that a Standard Model Higgs boson can be discovered
within the first year of data taking. The status of MSSM Higgs searches is also
discussed.Comment: 7 pages, Talk given on behalf of the CMS and ATLAS collaborations at

Azimuthal Angle Probe of Anomalous HWW Couplings at the LHeC
A high energy ep collider, such as the proposed LHeC, possesses the unique
facility of permitting direct measurement of the HWW coupling without
contamination from the HZZ coupling. At such a machine, the fusion of two W
bosons through the HWW vertex would give rise to typical charged current (CC)
events accompanied by a Higgs boson. We demonstrate that azimuthal angle
correlations between the observable CC final states could then be a sensitive
probe of the nature of the HWW vertex and hence of the CP properties of the
Higgs boson.Comment: Revised version to appear in Physical Review Letters, some typos and
mis-labellings corrected, references reorganised and update
