I'll report the current status of Higgs property measurements from the Large Hadron Collider experiments ATLAS & CMS. In particular, I'll review the determinations of couplings from combined fits to the individual H -> bosons and H -> fermions channels. Further, the results of hypothesis tests to verify the spin 0 nature of the Higgs and the current knowledge of differential cross section measurements.

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
2012 has been an extremely exciting year for particle physics. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN discovered a new particle: the Higgs boson. In this talk I review the properties of this newly discovered particle. In particular, I will present the basics of electroweak symmetry breaking in the Standard Model (SM), that lead to the Higgs discovery. After that, I will discuss how New...

In July of 2012, the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider announced the discovery of a new particle that is consistent with the Standard Model Higgs boson produced by gluon fusion. However, in order to avoid problematic divergences at high energies, the Standard Model also requires that the Higgs boson couples to the weak vector bosons. As a result, the search for the Higgs...

The physics program of the ATLAS experiment pursued at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN succeeded in the observation of a new particle in the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson. The Higgs boson production in association with a top-quark pair provides key features to further investigate the nature of the Higgs boson. Its coupling to other bosons was discovered and evidence for its...

An overview will be presented of a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a top quark pair decaying into the $t\bar{t}H\to 4\ell$ signature. The study has been performed using data with an integrated luminosity of $\mathcal{L}=20.1 fb^{-1}$ collected by the ATLAS experiment in $pp$ collisions with $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. This production...

In a recent paper [1] on the modeling of emergent patterns in complex biological and physical systems, an overview of the Bayesian approach [2] that has been used to model the space-time curvature of a static spherically symmetric massive system is presented. Among the emergent properties of such a system, stands a gravitational field that can be described by a modified Newton’s law under low...
