17 Higgs Characterisation model We implemented an effective Lagrangian featuring bosons in FeynRules. X(J P =0 +,0,1 +,1,2 + ) Effective field theory approach, valid up to a cutoff scale Λ Only one new bosonic state X(JP ) at the EW scale (No other state below the cutoff Λ) Any new physics is described by the lowest dimensional operators. The parametrization is based on the recent work [Englert, Goncalves-Netto, KM, Plehn (2013)]. Kentarou Mawatari (Vrije U. Brussel) 8 Aug. 26, 2013 SUSY2013@Trieste
