Aspects of Higgs Production at the LHC

Abstract

We discuss the main features and predictions of the GLMM model, which is based on a QCD motivated theoretical approach, and successfully describes the experimental data on total, elastic and diffractive cross sections. In addition we calculate the survival probability for a SM Higgs at the LHC, and compare our results with those of the Durham group.
