Description

The Higgs boson offers a unique window to hidden sectors via relevant (or marginal) operators. Such interactions can provide new patterns for electroweak breaking (including radiative breaking by dimensional transmutation consistent with LEP bounds) and trigger a strong enough first order phase transition. Hidden sectors will be identified with singlet fields or unparticle operators.
