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 the 14th Topical Conference on Hadron Collider Physics (HCP2002), Karlsruhe, Germany, 30 Sep--4 Oct 200

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
