The experimental determination of the properties of the newly discovered boson at LHC is a crucial task in the near future. We will show how on the one hand the information from the measured signal rates in all available final states can be used to extract information on the strength of gauge and Yukawa couplings and how on the other hand information about the spin, parity and more generally the tensor structure of the boson couplings can be obtained by studying the angular and mass distributions of events where the resonance decays into a pair of gauge bosons ZZ, WW and gamgam. The focus will be on the main conceptual issues garnished with some examples from recent ATLAS and CMS results.
