09:10 → 10:10 Why the Linear Collider is essential for the Higgs

Earlier this year a new boson with a mass of around 126 GeV has been discovered by the LHC experiments ATLAS and CMS. The observed decay modes are consistent with the predictions for a Standard Model Higgs boson, but uncertainties are still large. We will discuss the role of the Higgs boson in the Standard Model and give a summary of the latest results from the LHC experiments. In addition we will briefly discuss the expected precision for the Higgs measurements achievable after the full LHC program. We will give an overview over the detailed physics simulation studies for the e+e- Linear Collider projects ILC and CLIC that were performed over the past years. These studies document the excellent prospects of determining the true nature of the new boson at such a facility.

Speaker: Mr Christian Grefe (Universitaet Bonn (DE))
