Higgs search prospects at the LHC

An overview on the different Higgs searches to be performed at the LHC is presented. Projections are made to estimate the potential of ATLAS and CMS to a possible discovery or exclusion of the Higgs boson during the first run at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV, with a recorded integrated luminosity of around 1 fb−1, expected by the end of 2011.
