Couples like Higgs of Standard Model • No indication of any significant deviation from the Standard Model predictions JE & Tevong You, arXiv:1303.3879
The Particle Higgsaw Puzzle Is LHC finding the missing piece? Is it the right shape? Is it the right size?
Some Questions • What is it? • Higgs or …? • What else is there? • Supersymmetry …? • What next? • A Higgs factory or …? Supersymmetric model fits
What is it ? • Does it have spin 0 or 2? • Is it scalar or pseudoscalar? • Is it elementary or composite? • Does it couple to particle masses? • Quantum (loop) corrections? • What are its self-couplings?
Does the ‘Higgs’ have Spin Two ? • Discriminate spin 2 vs spin 0 via angular distribution of decays into γγ JE & Hwang: arXiv:1202.6660 Monte Carlo simulations 2+ disfavoured @ 99% JE, Fok, Hwang, Sanz & You: arXiv:1210.5229
The ‘Higgs’ is probably a scalar • Pseudoscalar 0-disfavoured at > 99% CL
Global Analysis of Higgs-like Models • Rescale couplings: to bosons by a, to fermions by c • Standard Model: a = c = 1 No evidence for deviation from SM W W Global b bbar τ τ γ γ Z Z JE & Tevong You, arXiv:1303.3879
It Walks and Quacks like a Higgs • Do couplings scale ~ mass? With scale = v? • Red line = SM, dashed line = best fit Global fit JE & Tevong You, arXiv:1303.3879
Loop Corrections ? • ATLAS sees excess in γγ, CMS sees deficit • Loop diagrams ~ Standard Model? JE & Tevong You, arXiv:1303.3879

Completing the Holy Trinity • Hierarchy possible only in theory that can be calculated over many magnitudes of energy “Renormalizable” • Theorem: (1) vectors (2) fermions (3) scalars • Need to specify: (1) group (2) representations (3) symmetry breaking (1) = SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) [so far] (2) = Singlets + doublets + triplets • Finally: (3) A scalar and the mechanism of symmetry breaking Cornwall, Levin & Tiktopoulos; Bell;Llewellyn-Smith
Theoretical Constraints on Higgs Mass • Large Mh→ large self-coupling → blow up at low-energy scale Λ due to renormalization • Small: renormalization due to t quark drives quartic coupling < 0 at some scale Λ → vacuum unstable • Vacuum could be stabilized by Supersymmetry Degrassi, Di Vita, Elias-Miro, Giudice, Isodori & Strumia, arXiv:1205.6497
Theoretical Confusion • High mortality rate among theories • (MH, Mt) close to stability bound • Λ close to Weinberg upper bound • Split SUSY? High-scale SUSY? • Modify/abandon naturalness?
