The mechanism extending spontaneous symmetry breaking to gauge fields had a considerable impact on elementary particle physics. It is corroborated by the discovery of the Z and the W, and by the precision electroweak tests. A detection of its Scalar boson(s) would not only constitute a direct verification of the mechanism, but knowledge of its couplings to known particles could pave the way to...

Latest results of the Standard Model searches for the Scalar Boson with the ATLAS experiment are presented, based on a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 4.9 fb−1 of pp collisions collected at s√ = 7 TeV at the LHC. A wide range of the Scalar Boson masses from 110 GeV to 600 GeV has been explored. The exclusion limits at the 95% confidence level are given as a...

The methods and results of the searches for the Standard Model scalar boson predicted by the BEH mechanism will be described.
The analysis is based on 5 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at LHC at 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy in 2011.
The results of these searches exclude at 95% CL a large mass range.
At low mass, between approximately 115 and 130 GeV, we...

As an introduction to the discussion to follow, the recent results on searches for the BEH scalar boson are (sometimes critically) summarized.
