New Opportunities in High-Energy Physics after the Higgs boson discovery
Michael Spannowsky (Institute for Particle Physics, DURHAM)

The discovery of the Higgs boson has for the first time established an arguably elementary scalar sector at the electroweak scale. With a newly discovered and yet unexplored scalar sector novel opportunities arise to address fundamental questions in nature. To maximise our understanding of this sector a concerted effort between collider and non-collider experiments, as well as perturbative and non-perturbative methods is required. I will outline peculiarities of the Higgs sector and point towards possible future research directions to explore the electroweak symmetry breaking potential.
