We present an overview of recent results in Higgs boson physics obtained with the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN, Geneva. The focus is on measurements of the properties of the recently discovered Higgs boson with a mass of about 125 GeV. We will then present a brief selection of results in searches for Higgs bosons beyond the Standard Model. We...

The discovery of the Higgs boson closes the last remaining degree of freedom in the space of Standard Model physics, thus allowing unprecedented model-independent sensitivity to BSM physics. We may use this sensitivity by formally treating the Standard Model the way it has always been thought of: as an effective field theory supplemented by higher-dimensional operators. This approach...

In order to satisfy the current LHC Higgs data, which require the couplings of the observed 125 GeV Higgs boson to be close to the Standard Model (SM) expectations, any extended Higgs sector must lead to the so-called SM 'alignment limit'. In the context of the Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM), this alignment is often associated with either decoupling of the heavy Higgs sector or accidental...
