    Description
    The isolation of the weak boson fusion (WBF) process, qq -> qqH, will provide valuable information on the properties of an intermediate mass Higgs boson. I will discuss the techniques which may be used at the LHC to suppress backgrounds to WBF to very low levels and which will allow observation of H -> WW*, H -> tt and $H -> gg. Combined with the observation of a Higgs boson signal in inclusive searches, and with minimal model assumptions, properties like the HWW coupling or the Higgs total width can be extracted at the LHC with good accuracy.
