Abstract:
The combination of the Higgs boson property measurements by ATLAS and CMS will be presented. The results are based on ~25 fb-1 of 7 TeV and 8 TeV pp collision data collected in 2011 and 2012. First, the measurement of the mass and direct limits on the width of the observed boson will be discussed. Secondly, exclusions of higher spin states and measurements of the tensor structure of the scalar couplings to W and Z will be presented. Finally, the results of cross section and signal strength measurements in different Higgs boson production and decay modes will be reviewed. These last measurements are also the basis of combined fits of the Higgs boson coupling strength to Standard Model particles. All results indicate that the observed boson is compatible with a Standard Model CP-even Higgs boson.
