Abstract
We study the sensitivities of future precision Higgs measurements and electroweak observables in probing physics beyond the Standard Model. Using effective field theory--appropriate since precision measurements are indirect probes of new physics--we examine two well-motivated test cases. One is a tree-level example due to a singlet scalar field that enables the first-order electroweak phase transition for baryogenesis. The other is a one-loop example due to scalar top in the MSSM. We find both Higgs and electroweak measurements are sensitive probes of these cases.
