Summary After the discovery of a Higgs-like resonance at the LHC, the main focus of the analyses now is the determination of the Higgs Lagrangian. This includes - - the structure of the operators, linked to the spin/parity of the Higgs boson. an independent measurement of the coupling strength. Our FR/MG5 Higgs Characterisation model is publicly available, which can provide a framework to perform SMS characterisation studies in a consistent, systematic and accurate way. - http://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/wiki/higgscharacterisation - contact to kentarou.mawatari@vub.ac.be Kentarou Mawatari (Vrije U.
