Boosted Higgs measurements [CMS, TH]
by
,Abstract
This session will present an overview and outlook for Boosted Higgs boson measurements and predictions at the LHC and HL-LHC. The current theoretical status will be reviewed with a focus on the state-of-the-art, the latest developments since the working group recommendation, and the remaining sources of uncertainty. A review of the the latest experimental measurements and techniques will be provided, highlighting the progress in measurements of boosted Higgs across the different production and decay channels. The session aims to emphasise where further theoretical input is most needed and explore the importance and potential impact of future precision measurements of boosted Higgs.
Speakers
Fabio Monti carried out his PhD in 2021 at the University of Milano-Bicocca. He continued his research activity at the Beijing Institute of High Energy Physics until 2023. Since then, he has been working as research fellow at CERN. His research work, within the CMS Collaboration, has focused on the characterization Higgs boson, particularly the measurement of the H-charm quark Yukawa coupling via a search for the H → cc decay, the H trilinear self-coupling from the measurement of the di-Higgs process, and searches for BSM physics involving a H and additional scalars. Fabio is currently convener of the LHC Higgs working group 4 (multi-Higgs), and of the CMS "B2G diboson" physics analysis group, overseeing all resonant di-Higgs searches.
Stephen Jones obtained his PhD in 2015 at the University of Liverpool, UK. After postdoctoral positions in the University of Freiburg, Germany (2015) and the Max Planck Institute for Physics, Germany (2015-2018), he was a CERN Theory Fellow from 2018-2020. In 2020 he joined the Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology (IPPP), UK as an Assistant Professor (Royal Society URF) and is now an Associate Professor at IPPP. His research has focused on the computation of higher-order corrections to massive processes, primarily those involving the Higgs boson. He is currently a Higgs working group convener for the gluon-fusion channel.
