Abstract

In these lecture notes the frequentist methods used in the Higgs search, discovery and measurement are reviewed. The idea is that the reader will be able to understand what lies beneath the surface of the results and the plots shown in the experiments publications. Though the results shown are mainly from ATLAS and CMS, the methods and the lessons can be propagated to other fields such as Astro-Particles and fixed target experiments.
