Abstract

The investigation of the dynamics responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking is one of the prime tasks of experiments at present and future colliders. Experiments at the Tevatron Collider and at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) must be able to discover a Standard Model Higgs boson over the full mass range as well as Higgs bosons in extended models. In this review, the discovery potential for the Standard Model Higgs boson and for Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension is summarized. Emphasis is put on those studies which have been performed recently within the experimental collaborations using a realistic simulation of the detector performance. This includes a discussion of the search for Higgs bosons using the vector boson fusion mode at the LHC, a discussion of the measurement of Higgs boson parameters as well as a detailed review of the MSSM sector for different benchmark scenarios. The Tevatron part of the review also contains a discussion of first physics results from data taken in the ongoing Run II.
