Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

The discovery of a new resonance consistent with the standard model Higgs boson has had a drastic effect on predictions of new physics. Everything about the discovery, from the mass, to the spin, to the production and decay rates tells us about the stability of the Higgs and the nature and scale of new physics. In this talk, I will discuss the consequences of the discovery of the Higgs boson...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

In the presentation, latest results in search for Higgs boson decays and production mechanisms in the SM as well as BSM context will be presented. The focus will be on rare decays which were not directly observable during the Run1 data taking period (integrated luminosity of approximately 25 fb-1), these will be then compared with expectations for the full High Luminosity LHC Upgrade...

858. Search for an Invisibly Decaying Higgs Boson Produced via Vector Boson Fusion in pp Collisions at s√=8 TeV using the ATLAS Detector at the LHC

A search for Higgs bosons produced via vector boson fusion and decaying into invisible particles using 20.3 fb−1 of 8 TeV data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented. Data-driven techniques are used to estimate the main Standard Model backgrounds. For a Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV and assuming the Standard Model production cross-section, an upper bound of 0.29 is set on...
