The Standard model of electroweak interactions (SM) has been
extremely successful in describing interactions of elementary particles over
the last decades. The Higgs scalar boson is one of the key elements of the
SM: Higgs interactions with the other particles generate the particle masses
and allow to keep the theory renormalizable at electroweak scale. All the
particles predicted by the SM but the Higgs boson have already been observed
experimentally and therefore search for the Higgs is one of the most
important scientific goals for high energy physics.
