ABSTRACT:
 
On July 4th 2012 CMS and ATLAS experiments reported a discovery of a new particle. The big question now is what do we actually see. Is it the Standard ModelHiggs that was predicted half a century ago or it's some different? In this talk I will show a big picture of what we found and how consistent it is with the Standard Model, how soon do we expect to get answers on some interesting questions and in particular what it will take to answer the question is it the Standard Model Higgs or not.
