Beauty (quarks) and the Higgs as Window into New Physics at the LHC

by Giacinto Piacquadio (Stony Brook University and Max-Planck-Institut für Physik)

Tuesday 10 Oct 2023, 16:00 → 17:00 Europe/Berlin

Auditorium (DESY Hamburg)

In 2012, the Higgs boson discovery at the Large Hadron Collider provided experimental confirmation of the mechanism that gives elementary particles their mass. Today the Run-2 and Run-3 datasets, with their record-breaking proton-proton intensity and the highest collision energies ever produced by mankind, are enabling ATLAS and CMS experiments to perform measurements of the Higgs boson with unprecedented precision, providing stringent tests for an increasing class of new physics models. After a general overview, I will explain why beauty quarks, the particles to which the Higgs boson decays more abundantly, represent such a challenging yet essential tool to study the Higgs boson. Finally, I will discuss the prospects for Higgs boson measurements during the High-Luminosity phase of the LHC.
