Higgs Boson search at the CMS experiment

The results of the search for the Standard Model (SM) Higgs Boson with the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at the LHC at 7 TeV center-of-mass energy are reported. A large number of the Higgs Boson decay channels in the mass range from 110 GeV to 600 GeV are considered, and combined upper l...
