Abstract. In this talk I discuss a few selected topics in Higgs phenomenology at the LHC. After some brief remarks on the standard model Higgs I turn to more novel possibilities, discussing a heavy Higgs scenario, a light Higgs scenario and a no Higgs scenario. In the case of the light Higgs, I discuss briefly the physics opportunities afforded if it becomes possible to detect low angle scattered protons at the LHC.

 

Keywords. Spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetries; electroweak radiative corrections; extensions of electroweak Higgs sector; hadron-induced high- and super-high-energy interactions; standard-model Higgs bosons; non-standard-model Higgs bosons.
