Higgs and SUSY Searches at LHC : An Overview

Abstract

I start with a brief summary of Higgs Mechanism and supersymmetry. Then I discuss the theoretical constraints, current limits and search strategies for Higgs boson(s) at LHC - first in the SM and then in the MSSM. Finally, I discuss the analogous constraints and search strategies for the superparticles, concentrating on the minimal supergravity model. Recent advances in identifying the most promising channels for Higgs and SUSY searches are emphasized.
