Abstract
New theoretical and experimental information motivates a re-examinatio n of the Standard Model Higgs production rates at the LHC pp collider. We present calculations of the relevant cross sections and branching ratios, including recently calculated QCD next-to-leading order correc tions, new parton distributions fitted to recent HERA structure functi on data, and new values for electroweak input parameters, in particula r for the top quark mass. Cross sections an calculated at two collider energies, root s = 10 TeV and 14 TeV.
