Discovery Potential for the SM Higgs Boson in the Inclusive Search Channels

This paper gives an overview of the potential to discover a Standard Model Higgs Boson in the inclusive search channels at the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC. The most important decay modes, $H\to \gamma \gamma$, $H \to WW \to ll\nu\nu$and$H \to ZZ \to 4l$ are described and a summary of recently published analyses using realistic detector simulations is presented.
