4 Higgs properties Discovery of a Higgs boson: New neutral particle Mass roughly in range expected by SM precission measurements Coupling to ZZ, WW Is it the SM Higgs boson? Mass (vacuum stability without new physics?) Width compatible with expectation? Spin-parity 0+? Couplings to bosons and fermions as expected? Self coupling? 4
