    The accuracy of theoretical predictions for the production of the Higgs boson at hadron colliders is an important topical issue. Inclusive Higgs production originates from simple processes, very similar kinematically to Drell-Yan production which is a flagship of precision physics at hadron colliders. However, the predominantly gluonic initial state, the non-classical coupling of the...

    We present the current status of searches for a low mass (below 135 GeV/c^2) SM Higgs boson using data collected at the Fermilab Tevatron collider in proton-antiproton collisions at the center of mass energy 1.96 TeV. We focus in particular on ongoing efforts to improve overall search sensitivity through improvements to our analysis methods and techniques. We project that these...

    We present the results of searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying predominantly to W+W- and ZZ pairs, at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=$1.96 TeV, using up to 8.1 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the CDF and D0 detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The improvements of the analysis techniques and inclusion of additional channels are discussed. The combination of...

    The first searches for Higgs bosons in the Standard Model and its extensions with the ATLAS detector are discussed. The findings are based on the 2010 LHC pp-collision data taken at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. An overview of the results and their interpretation will be given.

    Ordinary
    The production of pairs of oppositely-charged tau leptons at 7 TeV center-of-mass energy is studied with 36/pb of proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment in 2010. Events are selected in a combination of different final states resulting from hadronic and leptonic tau decays. The Z to tau tau cross section is measured. The tau pair kinematics is fully reconstructed using a...

    Experiment
    Ordinary
    We present a new combination of searches for a standard model Higgs Boson by the CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron. This combination, covering possible Higgs boson masses between 130 GeV/c^2 and 200 GeV/c^s and emphasizing the H->WW and H->ZZ decay channels, utilizes 7.1/fb of data collected at CDF and 8.1/fb of data collected at D0. We present 95% CL upper limits on standard...
