With the announcement of the discovery of a Higgs-like particle in July 2012 by the two general-purpose experiments ATLAS and CMS at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN particle physics has entered a new era.
Until the end of 2012 the experiments have collected a large data set
corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 25 fb-1 at
centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. These data have been used to
study the new particle in detail and to measure its properties. In this
talk the discovery and the present status of the “profile” of the new
particle are discussed. This includes a discussion on its compatibility
with the predictions of the Standard Model of particle physics.
Finally, an outlook on the next steps at the LHC, with focus on the
search for new physics is given.
