TL;DR
This paper develops a framework for analyzing deviations in Higgs boson couplings from the Standard Model, performs global fits to experimental data, and finds that the SM Higgs provides the best fit with limited room for new physics contributions.
Contribution
It introduces a generic parameter-based framework for Higgs coupling deviations applicable to many beyond Standard Model theories and performs comprehensive fits to current collider data.
Findings
Nonstandard decay branching ratio less than 22%
Best fit achieved by additional particle contributions to loop functions
Electroweak symmetry breaking from observed Higgs is dominant
Abstract
After the discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC, it is natural to start the research program on the precision study of the Higgs-boson couplings to various standard model (SM) particles. We provide a generic framework for the deviations of the couplings from their SM values by introducing a number of parameters. We show that a large number of models beyond the SM can be covered, including two-Higgs-doublet models, supersymmetric models, little-Higgs models, extended Higgs sectors with singlets, and fourth generation models. We perform global fits to the most updated data from CMS, ATLAS, and Tevatron under various initial conditions of the parameter set. In particular, we have made explicit comparisons between the fitting results BEFORE and AFTER the Moriond 2013 meetings. Highlights of the results include: (i) the nonstandard decay branching ratio of the Higgs boson is less than 22%;…
