DESCRIPTION:The discovery or exclusion of the fundamental standard scalar 
 is a warm topic. With the current statistics at the hadron colliders\, the
  workhorse decay channel\, at all relevant H masses\, is H to WW\, followe
 d by the leptonic decay of the Ws. Using phase-space singularity technique
 s\, we construct a plethora of kinematically optimal "singularity variable
 s" meant to facilitate the difficult tasks of separating signal and backgr
 ounds and of measuring the mass of a putative signal. With the help of "Hi
 ggs Potatoes" (Dalitz Plots in the presence of unobservable particles)\, w
 e introduce the concept of "Higgs Sieving": a multi-variable technique to 
 separate a signal from the main backgrounds.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conf
