Abstract
The Higgs boson is believed to have been discovered at the Large HadronCollider.The task now is to verify whether the boson is indeed the scalar Higgs asproposedin the Standard Model of particle physics, or something more esoteric asproposedin the plethora of extensions to the Standard Model. We present a step bystepmethodology to determine the properties of this resonance without makinganyassumptions about its couplings. We present the analysis in terms ofmeasurementsthat would require the minimum number of events. We show that by studyingthe threeuni-angular distributions and other readily measurable observables, one canunambiguouslyconfirm whether the new boson is indeed the Higgs with J^{PC} = 0^{++} andwith couplingsto Z bosons exactly as predicted in the Standard Model.
