Detecting and Studying Higgs Bosons

Abstract

I review the ability of the LHC (large hadron collider), NLC (next linear lepton collider) and FMC (first muon collider) to detect and study Higgs bosons, with emphasis on the Higgs bosons of extended Higgs sectors, especially those of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Particular attention is given to means for distinguishing the lightest neutral CP-even Higgs boson of the MSSM from the single Higgs boson of the minimal Standard Model (SM).
