The Search for Higgs particles at high-energy colliders: Past, Present and Future

Abstract

I briefly review the Higgs sector in the Standard Model and its minimal Supersymmetric extension, the MSSM. After summarizing the properties of the Higgs bosons and the present experimental constraints, I will discuss the prospects for discovering these particle at the upgraded Tevatron, the LHC and a high-energy $e^+e^-$ linear collider. The possibility of studying the properties of the Higgs particles will be then summarized.Comment: 28 pages, latex, 15 figures, talk at WHEPP VII, Allahabad, Indi
