DESCRIPTION:The Higgs mechanism plays a key role in the physics of element
 ary particles: in the context of the Standard Model\, the theory which des
 cribes in a unified framework the electromagnetic\, weak and strong intera
 ctions\, it allows for the generation of particle masses while preserving 
  the mathematical  consistency of the theory. This mechanism predicts the 
 existence of a new type of particle\,the scalar Higgs boson\, with unique 
 characteristics. The detection of this particle and the study of its funda
 mental properties is a major goal of high--energy particle colliders\, suc
 h as the CERN Large Hadron Collider. In this talk\, I present an introduct
 ion to the Standard Model and the Higgs mechanism for mass generation\, su
 mmarize the basic properties of the scalar Higgs particles and discuss the
  prospects for producing and studying them at the LHC. The Higgs sectors o
 f some scenarios for new physics beyond the Standard Model will be comment
 ed upon.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/851/
