13. Explaining the LHC flavour anomalies

Planary Talk

By now the LHC found three deviations from the SM expectations in the flavour sector: B->K*mumu, B->Kmumu/B->Kee and h->taumu. I discuss a 2HDM with ganged Lmu-Ltau and vector-like quarks which can explain these anomalies. Charging also the baryons under a new U(1)' symmetry, the introduction of vector-like quarks can be avoided and interesting correlations with LHC searches arise.

42. What do we know about the light-fermion Yukawas?

Joachim Brod (Johannes-Gutenberg-Universitaet Mainz)

Planary Talk

In this talk I present direct and indirect constraints on the interaction of the Higgs boson with electrons and light quarks. In addition, I briefly discuss the size of deviations from standard-model predictions that are expected in different models of flavor, and the impact on dark-matter direct detection.

52. Higgs Coupling Measurements

Tilman Plehn (Heidelberg University)

Planary Talk

Already during the last run of the LHC the measurement of Higgs couplings has played a key role in understanding the nature of the observed resonance. I will review the main results, discuss their challenges on the experimental and theoretical side, and discuss first tests of possible analyses during Run2. They main challenge will be to properly interpret Higgs measurements in terms of an...

44. EWSB meets flavor

Planary Talk

Little is known about the physics responsible for EWSB. While we expect the LHC to soon provide the first signals of direct detection, indirect information can in the meantime be gathered by using EFTs. In this talk I will explore, in particular, the crosstalk between flavor processes and such EFTs and show to which extent flavor physics can shed light upon the mechanism of EWSB.

58. Pseudo-observables in Higgs decays

Admir Greljo (Institute Jozef Stefan)

Planary Talk

We define a set of pseudo-observables characterizing the properties of Higgs decays in generic extensions of the Standard Model with no new particles below the Higgs mass. The pseudo-observables can be determined from experimental data, providing a systematic generalization of the "kappa-framework" so far adopted by the LHC experiments. The pseudo-observables are defined from on-shell decay...

7. The Higgs Portal

Planary Talk

I will discuss the role of the Higgs field as a probe of the hidden sector and its implications for cosmology.
