  9. II. Why the Higgs Portal ?

  10. Higgs Boson Searches

  11. Higgs Boson Searches SM Higgs?

  12. LHC Observation LHC Exclusion LEP, Tevatron, & ATLAS Exclusion Non-SM Higgs(es) ? SM Higgs properties ? SM Higgs? • SM “background” well below new CPV expectations • New expts: 102 to 103 more sensitive • CPV needed for BAU? Precision Tests

  13. Scalar fields are theoretically problematic m2 ~ 2 Scalar Fields in Particle Physics Scalar fields are a simple Has a fundamental scalar finally been discovered ? If so, is it telling us anything about  ?

  14. Remarkable agreement with EWPO Tension: EWPO + Direct Searches EWPO: data favor a “light” SM-like Higgs scalar What is the BSM Energy Scale  ?

  15. Remarkable agreement with EWPO Agreement w/ SM at ~ 10-3 level:ONP = c / 2 Barbieri & Strumia ‘99 ~ 10 TeV generically What is the BSM Energy Scale  ?

  16. Scalar fields are theoretically problematic m2 ~ 2 Scalar Fields in Particle Physics Scalar fields are a simple Must BSM ~ TeV to maintain a weak scale scalar ? EWPO: for new interactions coupling to gauge bosons or fermions, BSM >> TeV
