The sensitivity to St<strong>and</strong>ard Mo<strong>de</strong>l Higgs production is still dominated by the TEVATRON<br />

experiments, which have released a new combined limit in the high mass domain dominated by the<br />

H → WW <strong>de</strong>cay channel (figure 6).<br />

New SM Higgs combined exclusion limit from the Tevatron experiments.<br />

The ATLAS <strong>and</strong> CMS experiments have also started to provi<strong>de</strong> SM Higgs limits <strong>and</strong> will become<br />

competitive with Tevatron when an integrated luminosity of ~1 fb -1 has been accumulated. Both<br />

Tevatron <strong>and</strong> LHC experiments control Higgs <strong>de</strong>cay processes from measurements of very low<br />

cross-section di-boson production. Figure 7 shows that these processes are already seen <strong>and</strong><br />

measured in agreement with the SM at LHC.<br />
