We discuss the interpretation of the LHC Higgs data and the test of the Higgs mechanism. This is done in a more model-independent approach relying on an effective Lagrangian, as well as in specific models like composite Higgs models and…
Physics issues at the upcoming and planned colliders are discussed. We critically review the the different arguments that suggest that New Physics is bound to materialise at the TeV scale and why we should keep an open minded approach. The…
