Abstract. New theoretical and experimental information motivates a re-examination 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 corrections, new parton distributions fitted to recent HERA structure function data, and new values for electroweak input parameters, in particular for the top quark mass. Cross sections are calculated at two collider energies, $\sqrt{s} = 10$ TeV and $14$ TeV.
