Searches for the Standard Model Higgs Boson at Hadron Colliders at
sqrt(s)=2, 7 and 8 TeV until the Discovery of the ~125 GeV Boson    [PDF]

Gregorio Bernardi, Matthew Herndon

We review the experimental searches for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson at the 2 TeV Run of the Tevatron with ~10 fb-1 of recorded data, and at the 7 and 8 TeV Runs of the LHC, with ~5 and ~6 fb-1 respectively. The CMS and ATLAS collaborations observe independently a new particle with mass ~125 GeV, mainly through its bosonic decays in gamma gamma, ZZ, and WW, consistent with the SM Higgs boson. The CDF and D0 experiments combine their result to see evidence of a similar particle produced in association with a vector boson and decaying fermionically, in b \bar{b}.
