Título: Higgs Boson Physics: The View Ahead
Resumo:
Nearly twelve years ago, the Higgs boson was discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this colloquium, I shall first provide a short history of the Higgs boson from inception to discovery (with some detours along the way). I shall then briefly survey the status of Higgs boson physics today. Although current experimental measurements are consistent with interpreting the observed Higgs boson as being consistent with the predictions of the Standard Model of particle physics, it is still possible (and perhaps plausible) that the Higgs boson is a member of an enlarged scalar sector that will require an extension of the Standard Model. The Higgs sector can also serve as a portal to new physics beyond the Standard Model. Finally, I will survey some of the most pressing questions that physicists hope to address in future Higgs studies at the LHC and at future collider facilities now under development.
