Contextualizing the Higgs at the LHC
Aleksandr Azatov, Roberto Contino, Jamison Galloway
TL;DR
This paper reviews LHC data on a potential 125 GeV Higgs-like particle, assessing its compatibility with the Standard Model and exploring alternative models with extended electroweak sectors.
Contribution
It provides an updated analysis of LHC excesses and explores how the Higgs-like state could fit into models beyond the Standard Model.
Findings
Current data is compatible with the Standard Model Higgs
Alternative models with extended sectors are also considered plausible
The analysis updates previous assessments with new data
Abstract
Recent excesses across different search modes of the collaborations at the LHC seem to indicate the presence of a Higgs-like scalar particle at 125 GeV. Using the current data sets, we review and update analyses addressing the extent to which this state is compatible with the Standard Model, and provide two contextual answers for how it might instead fit into alternative scenarios with enlarged electroweak symmetry breaking sectors.
