2 Present: impressive success of LHC RUN 1 on the Higgs&EW Physics measurements! 2

3 Karl Jakobs' talk 3

4 Present: no deviations from SM... 4

5 Higgs Boson Discovery has completed the puzzle of the Standard model... 5

6 But it has raised even more questions than the number of answers it has given! 6

7 But it has raised even more questions than the number of answers it has given! The Nature of Higgs Boson? 7

8 But it has raised even more questions than the number of answers it has given! The Nature of Higgs Boson? Fine-tuning problem 8

9 But it has raised even more questions than the number of answers it has given! The Nature of Higgs Boson? Fine-tuning problem Dark Matter problem 9

10 But it has raised even more questions than the number of answers it has given! The Nature of Higgs Boson? Fine-tuning problem Dark Matter problem Connection to GUT & couplings unification 10

11 But it has raised even more questions than the number of answers it has given! The Nature of Higgs Boson? The origin of matter/anti-matter asymmetry Fine-tuning problem Dark Matter problem Connection to GUT & couplings unification 11

12 Higgs boson properties are consistent with main compelling BSM theories, so the pattern we have is just a piece of a much bigger puzzle! The Nature of Higgs Boson? The origin of matter/anti-matter asymmetry Fine-tuning problem Dark Matter problem Connection to GUT & couplings unification 12

13 Beyond the Higgs discovery Higgs properties are amazingly consistent with all main compelling underlying theories (except higgsless ones!) Some parameter space of BSM theories was eventually excluded. CPNSH workshop CERN

16 What do we know about BSM? 16

17 What do we know about BSM? It does exist! 17

18 What do we know about BSM? It does exist! And Higgs & EW sector is the perfect (may be the best) place to probe it! [see also Alex Pomarol's talk] 18

19 What do we know about BSM? It does exist! And Higgs & EW sector is the perfect (may be the best) place to probe it! [see also Alex Pomarol's talk] Higgs production cross sections, coupling determination, modelindependent analysis (higher-dimensional operators) Higgs width New Higgs Decays Longitudinal Vector Boson scattering (VLVL ), unitarity considerations, new vector and scalar resonances New states decaying into Higgs SUSY, TC, CHM Dark Matter Connections Higgs and/or EW bosons portals Connection to inflation Neutrino Physics Flavour Physics... 19

20 Higgs&EW group at WIN talks, great TH<->EXP dialog, new results! 20

21 Higgs Couplings measurements/analysis 21

22 EWPTs and Higgs+TGC constraints on dim-6 operators Juan González Fraile Tevong You 22

23 The role of the change of kinematics Juan González Fraile Tevong You cw fw Some operators affect not only the Higgs signal rate but also differential distributions. Taking it into account could significantly increase sensitivity to a new physics! 23

24 EWPTs and Higgs+TGC constraints on dim-6 operators taking into account kinematics Tevong You Juan González Fraile for ci=1 LHC probes ~ TeV scale range of Λ with Higgs+TGC couplings Taking it into account kinematics does increase sensitivity! 24

25 Indirect constraints on stops and validity of EFT Tevong You Drozd, Ellis,Quevillon,You'15 below 500 GeV, the EFT breaks down; above 500 GeV EFT provides description with the accuracy better than 10% 25

26 Vector Boson Fusion (VBF) and multi-boson Production 26

27 VBF sensitivity to Higgs and new physics VBF is more model-independent Marc Thomas VS 27

28 VBF sensitivity to Higgs and new physics VBF is more model-independent Marc Thomas VS VBF is sensitive to the lack of cancellation in VLVL scattering amplitude a x hvv SM 28

29 VBF sensitivity to Higgs and new physics Marc Thomas VBF is more model-independent VS VBF is sensitive to the lack of cancellation in VLVL scattering amplitude for ghvv deviation from SMthe cross section faster increases with energy for larger numbers of final state particles a x hvv SM 29

30 VBF sensitivity to Higgs and new physics Marc Thomas VBF is more model-independent VS VBF is sensitive to the lack of cancellation in VLVL scattering amplitude for ghvv deviation from SMthe cross section faster increases with energy for larger numbers of final state particles a x hvv SM 30

31 VBF at proton-proton level Marc Thomas WLWL->WLWL enhancement is hidden under the large transverse polution WW->hhh enhancement is impressive, but rates are too low for the LHC To measure ghvv from WLWL->WLWL one needs suppress WT contribution 31

32 Results on the VBF sensitivity Marc Thomas cuts reduce transversely polarised background and make measurement of HVV coupling from VBF viable, providing model-independent way of measuring of HVV coupling 32

33 Connection to Composite Higgs and Technicolor models 33
