Higgs couplings to quarks and leptons: opportunities at the LHC
Emmanuel Stamou (Weizmann Institute)


The Higgs couplings to fermions are known parameters within the Standard Model. Deviations from these expectations would be clear signals of new physics and are thus important target measurements for the LHC program.
Such measurements are being performed both for the quark and the lepton sector. For the quark sector I discuss ways to extract information about the coupling of the Higgs boson to the charm quark with emphasis on methods applicable with the available LHC data set. For the lepton sector I discuss whether it is at all possible within the MSSM to account for a possible observation of Lepton-Flavour-Violating Higgs decays at the LHC.
