Abstract
Higgs physics is an essential part of the standard model of electroweak interactions, but it is not understood experimentally or theoretically. Because gauge bosons and fermions have mass, some new physics must occur. Extending the standard model to grand unification, to include flavor, to be supersymmetric, all may depend crucially on learning to understand Higgs physics. In every approach scalar bosons and/or currents arise (fundamental or dynamical ones) but none have been seen. Apart from axion searches for very light bosons, no limits on Higgs boson masses or couplings are published and almost no dedicated experiments are in progress, in spite of the extreme importance of this area of physics. The Higgs bosons could be fundamental point particles, or composite states built of new fundamental fermions, as in the dynamical theories (technicolor, hypercolor). The experimental search for Higgs physics is discussed.
