The sensitivity around2m W allows an exclusion region to develop around these masses. The exclusionoccurs where the observed l<strong>in</strong>e falls below the theoretical prediction.Over the next decade, as the LHC g<strong>at</strong>hers a large enough d<strong>at</strong>a set, the <strong>Higgs</strong><strong>boson</strong> will either be observed or excluded <strong>in</strong> the theoretically acceptable region.Like the Tev<strong>at</strong>ron, the LHC will be more sensitive to a heavy <strong>Higgs</strong> [62], howeverit should g<strong>at</strong>her a enough d<strong>at</strong>a to allow even very rare decays (but experimentallyfavourable) <strong>of</strong> light <strong>Higgs</strong> <strong>boson</strong>s such as H → γγ to be <strong>in</strong>vestig<strong>at</strong>ed.1.4 Effective coupl<strong>in</strong>g between gluons and a <strong>Higgs</strong><strong>in</strong> the limit <strong>of</strong> a heavy top quark1.4.1 Effective LagrangianIn this section we <strong>in</strong>troduce the effective Lagrangian which couples gluons to the<strong>Higgs</strong> <strong>boson</strong> [63–65].
