After the discovery of a Higgs boson and the absence of other new physics at LHC8, the minimal Standard Model once again seems to prevail. However, there are strong indirect experimental and theoretical arguments for the existence of physics beyond the SM.
The crucial question is therefore whether the new physics scale will be within reach of the LHC14. The negative possibility was recently...

One and two-jet observables of dimension-7 Higgs-gluon coupling operators are studied as probes of possible deviations from the top-loop induced gluon-Higgs coupling. We discuss the case of both a scalar as well as a pseudo-scalar Higgs boson and show that higher order operators can give visible deviations from Standard Model distribution shapes.

We present the public computer tool HiggsSignals, which performs a statistical compatibility test of arbitrary Higgs sectors against Higgs boson signal rate and mass measurements at hadron colliders. We discuss how the program can be used to derive constraints on the Higgs sector of new physics models, using all currently available Higgs signal measurements from ATLAS, CMS, and the Tevatron...
