Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and the Higgs Boson
Antonio Pich
TL;DR
This paper reviews the confirmation of the Standard Model's Higgs boson at the LHC, discusses its properties, and explores alternative electroweak symmetry breaking scenarios constrained by current data.
Contribution
It provides an overview of the Higgs boson discovery, properties, and examines alternative models of electroweak symmetry breaking based on recent experimental constraints.
Findings
Higgs boson confirmed at the LHC
Standard Model remains consistent with data
Alternative symmetry breaking scenarios are constrained
Abstract
The first LHC run has confirmed the Standard Model as the correct theory at the electroweak scale, and the existence of a Higgs-like particle associated with the spontaneous breaking of the electroweak gauge symmetry. These lectures overview the present knowledge on the Higgs boson and discuss alternative scenarios of electroweak symmetry breaking which are already being constrained by the experimental data.
