Title: "Higgs after LHC run I"
Abstract:
I will discuss the status of the Higgs boson after the first run of the LHC. I will summarize the experimental evidence and the latest measurements of the Higgs couplings. These results will then be interpreted as constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model. To this end, I will discuss a general effective Lagrangian that allows one to parametrize deviations of the Higgs couplings from the Standard Model predictions. Then I will present the up-to-date constraints on the parameters of the effective Lagrangian derived from the existing Higgs data and from electroweak precision tests. I will also discuss the possibility of constraining new physics by searches of exotic Higgs decays.
