Effective Higgs Phenomenology at the LHC and beyond
Christoph Englert (Glasgow University)


While the Higgs and top quark phenomenology programmes are well underway, direct signs for new physics beyond the Standard Model remain elusive. In this talk, I will discuss the implications of recent LHC Higgs measurements and how differential distributions will improve the sensitivity to new interactions beyond the Standard Model in the light of expected uncertainties. Special attention will be devoted to the particular case of multi-Higgs production as a direct probe of the Higgs boson’s self-interactions. While the expected sensitivity to this parameter is expected to be low at the LHC, it provides a key motivation for a potential future 100 TeV collider.
