Higgs Measurements at the LHC (New Physics in the Higgs Sector)
Prof. Tilmann Plehn (Universität Heidelberg)


With the discovery of a light, likely fundamental Higgs boson our understanding of particle physics has entered a new era. We now know that quantum field theory describes elementary particles possibly to very high energy scales. With Run 2 of the LHC we are switching from a Higgs discovery mode to a mode where measurements of Higgs properties are an exciting window to physics beyond the Standard Model. I will discuss a few key measurements and analyses, including their theory background, their phenomenological challenges, and their experimental prospects.
