The document discusses the status of the CMS SM Higgs search. It notes that the Standard Model has been confirmed to better than 1% uncertainty by precision measurements, with the Higgs boson being the only missing piece. The search has eliminated about 475 GeV of the possible Higgs mass range between previous data from the Tevatron and LHC. With more data being collected at 8 TeV, CMS will be able to further probe the remaining mass range by exploiting multiple production and decay modes of the Higgs.
