Invited seminar - Andreas Papaefstathiou - Higgs boson self-coupling measurements at the LHC (and beyond)

Wednesday 4 Jun 2014, 13:00 → 14:00 Europe/Brussels

E/3rd floor-E.349 - Seminar room (E.349) (Marc de Hemptinne (chemin du Cyclotron, 2, Louvain-la-Neuve))

Barring the exciting event of a phenomenal discovery of new physics effects, the most important next step is to directly probe and constrain the couplings of the Higgs boson to the content of the Standard Model. Of particular interest are the couplings of the Higgs boson to itself, which will allow for understanding of the structure of the symmetry breaking potential. In this talk, I will discuss multi-Higgs processes at hadron colliders and what we could hope to learn from them. I will outline the currently proposed search strategies at a High-Luminosity LHC and briefly discuss how we could probe the self-couplings via alternative processes and in future colliders.
