Perspectives on Higgs Physics

  • Event time: 2:00pm
  • Event date: 24th October 2012
  • Speaker: Christoph Englert (University of Glasgow)
  • Location: Lecture Theatre A,

Event details

After the late discovery at the LHC, a precise determination of the Higgs boson-like particle's properties is necessary to understand its role in electroweak symmetry breaking. I will discuss novel strategies to measure its spin and CP quantum numbers and future directions to improve the measurement of its couplings by phenomenologically separating the various Higgs boson production mechanisms. Finally, I will discuss LHC measurements of the symmetry breaking potential by investigating the production of multiple Higgs bosons, also in the context of pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone realizations of electroweak symmetry breaking.
