5. 5 Prospects for high accuracy (~1%) mass measurements (irrespectively of the decay mode). Quantum number filter/analyser. ( 0++ dominance ; C,P- even) H ->bb opens up ( Hbb- coupl. ) (gg) CED  bb in LO ; NLO,NNLO, b- mass effects - controllable. For some areas of the MSSM param. space CEDP may become a discovery channel ! H → WW */ WW - an added value ( less challenging experimentally + small bgds., better PU cond. ) New leverage –proton momentum correlations ( probes of QCD dynamics, CP- violation effects… )  LHC : ‘after discovery stage’, Higgs ID …… H How do we know what we’ve found? mass, spin, couplings to fermions and Gauge Bosons, invisible modes …  for all these purposes the CEDP will be particularly handy ! CED Higgs production at the LHC

6. 6 MSSM without ‘clever hardware’: for H(SM)  bb at 60fb-1 only a handful of events due to severe exp. cuts and low efficiencies, though S/B~1. But H->WW mode at M>135 GeV.  enhanced trigger strategy & improved timing detectors. The backgrounds to the diffractive H bb mode are manageable! situation in the MSSM is very different from the SM Conventionally due to overwhelming QCD backgrounds, the direct measurement of Hbb is very difficult > SM-like 4 generations:  enhanced H  bb rate (~ 5 times ) Detailed HKRSTW 2007-10 studies
