QCD Effects in Higgs Physics

Abstract

Higgs boson production at the LHC within the Standard Model and its minimal supersymmetric extension is reviewed. The predictions for decay rates and production cross sections are updated by choosing the present value of the top quark mass and recent parton density sets. Moreover, all relevant higher order corrections, some of which have been obtained only recently, are included in a consistent way.
