Higgs boson discovery and recent results

After briefly discussing the discovery of a Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider, an overview of recent results in Higgs boson physics obtained with the CMS experiment is presented. The focus is on measurements of the properties of the recently discovered Higgs boson with a mass of about 125 GeV. A brief selection of results in searches for Higgs bosons beyond the standard model is given, and prospects of future Higgs boson measurements and searches are discussed.
