The first LHC run has confirmed the Standard Model as the correct theory at the electroweak scale, and the existence of a Higgs-like particle associated with the spontaneous breaking of the electroweak gauge symmetry. These lectures…
Two major problems call for an extension of the Standard Model (SM): the hierarchy problem in the Higgs sector and the dark matter in the Universe. The discovery of a Higgs boson with mass of about 125 GeV was clearly the most significant…
The LHC is expected to resume later this year. Though results at the Tevatron make it more difficult for the LHC to pick out Higgs bosons, there are other results which are expected. Some of these are surveyed here.
High precision measurements of electroweak observables at $e^\pm$ colliders indicate the existence of a light Higgs boson below the $W^\pm$ threshold. If such a fundamental scalar should be found in the near future it is important to fully…
We consider the addition of a condensing singlet scalar field to the Standard Model. Such a scenario may be motivated by any number of theoretical ideas, including the common result in string-inspired model building of singlet scalar fields…
Old and new ideas regarding Higgs physics are reviewed. We first summarize the quadratic divergence / hierarchy problem which strongly suggests that the SM Higgs sector will be supplemented by new physics at high scales. We next consider…
The goal of this report is to summarize the current situation and discuss possible search strategies for charged scalars, in non-supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model at the LHC. Such scalars appear in Multi-Higgs-Doublet models…
Composite Higgs Models explore the possibility that the Higgs boson is an excitation of a new strongly interacting sector giving rise to electro-weak symmetry breaking. After describing how this new sector can be embedded into the Standard…
This is a personal summary of points made during, and arising from the symposium, drawing largely from the talks presented there. The Standard Model is doing fine, including QCD, the electroweak sector and flavour physics. The good news is…
The prospects for discovering Higgs particles and studying their fundamental properties at future high-energy electron-positron and hadron colliders are reviewed. Both the Standard Model Higgs boson and the Higgs particles of its minimal…
Recent progress in Higgs boson studies for the International e+e- Linear Collider (ILC) is reported. These studies include extended simulations of the measurement of the Higgs mass, measurements of the Higgs boson branching ratios at higher…
Extending the Higgs sector by an additional $SU(2)_L$ doublet Higgs boson implies the existence of a charged Higgs boson $H^+$. The LHC experiments search for such particle focusing on it decays into leptonic and quark decay final states,…
1. We discuss the opportunities of complete Higgs boson discovery at different colliders. Main conclusion here is: Photon collider is the best for this goal. 2. We discuss how to use the Higgs boson (after its discovery) as the window to a…
After the discovery of the Higgs boson with mass at approximately 125 $GeV$ at the LHC, many studies both from the theoretical and experimental sides have been performed to search for a new Higgs Boson lighter than the 125 $GeV$ Higgs…
I present a concise review of the Higgs problem which plays a central role in particle physics today. The Higgs of the minimal Standard Model is so far just a conjecture that needs to be verified or discarded at the LHC. Probably the…
We give a brief review of beyond-the-Standard Model (BSM) extensions of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs sector. Going from very simple to more complicated models, our survey includes models with additional scalar singlet fields, the Two Higgs…
Assuming that a Higgs sector is responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking, we attempt to address two important questions: How much better precision are various measurements of Higgs boson properties at a future linear collider than at…
We analyze the 2011 LHC Higgs data in the context of simplified new physics models addressing the naturalness problem. These models are expected to contain new particles with sizable couplings to the Higgs boson, which can easily modify the…
Recent LHC highlights of searches for Higgs bosons beyond the Standard Model are presented. The results by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations are based on 2011 and 2012 proton-proton collision data at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV,…
We show the latest results from the CDF and D0 collaborations on the study of the Higgs boson, stemming from the analysis of the entire Tevatron Run\,II dataset. Combining the results of many individual analyses, most of which use the full…
