Studying the properties of the Higgs boson can be an important window to explore the physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). In this work, we present studies on the implications of the Higgs precision measurements at future Higgs Factories.…
Depending on the Higgs-boson and top-quark masses, $M_H$ and $M_t$, the effective potential of the Standard Model can develop a non-standard minimum for values of the field much larger than the weak scale. In those cases the standard…

A central objective of future collider experiments is to probe the structure of the Higgs potential, which requires access to trilinear scalar couplings, in particular the self-coupling of the observed Higgs boson. While this coupling is…
After the discovery of a Higgs boson, the next step is to measure its properties and test their accordance with the predictions of the Standard Model, in particular the couplings of the Higgs boson. In this talk we discuss what information…
The discovery of the Standard Model Scalar Boson (Brout-Englert-Higgs particle) opens a new field of research, namely the structure of the scalar sector. Numerous extensions exist, and imply extra particles, including additional scalars.…

I discuss the question whether it is possible that the LHC will find no signal for the Higgs boson. It is argued that in this case singlet scalars should be present that could play an important role in astroparticle physics. A critical view…
