EWSB Theory on the Eve of Higgs Boson Exclusion/Discovery
Slava Rychkov
TL;DR
This paper discusses the current theoretical landscape of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking (EWSB) in light of recent experimental limits on new physics, highlighting the state of the field before Higgs boson discovery or exclusion.
Contribution
It provides a personal perspective on the theoretical status of EWSB amidst recent experimental constraints, emphasizing the challenges and directions for future research.
Findings
Recent limits challenge traditional EWSB models
Theoretical landscape is at a critical juncture
Implications for future Higgs searches
Abstract
A personal feeling of where we stand theoretically in the puzzle of EWSB, faced with the impressive limits on new physics set at the summer conferences. Plenary talk at EPS HEP 2011.
