This book provides a comprehensive overview of the field of Higgs boson physics. It offers the
first in-depth review of the complete results in connection with the discovery of the Higgs
boson at CERN's Large Hadron Collider and based on the full dataset for the years 2011 to 2012.
The fundamental concepts and principles of Higgs physics are introduced and the important
searches prior to the advent of the Large Hadron Collider are briefly summarized. Lastly the
discovery and first mensuration of the observed particle in the course of the CMS experiment
are discussed in detail and compared to the results obtained in the ATLAS experiment.
