I have been studying how the spin and parity of the new boson discovered at the LHC will be studied and have run into some confusion. The Standard Model Higgs is expected to be a scalar (i.e. have even parity with spin 0). My question is how is the intrinsic parity of a particle experimentally determined? Is it related to the helicity amplitudes? Why is parity even an important quantum number to determine?
