Higgs Boson in the Standard Model and Beyond - Part II

Tuesday January 27, 2015
2:00 pm


 Presenter:  Rouzbeh Allahverdi, UNM
 Series:  Nuclear, Particle, Astroparticle and Cosmology (NUPAC) Seminars
 Abstract:  This is the second pedagogical lecture on Higgs physics. In this lecture, first I briefly review the Standard Model predictions for the Higgs decay branching ratios that are very important in the analysis of LHC Higgs data. Then I turn to the issue of fine tuning in the Standard Model Higgs mass that inevitably arises when quantum corrections are taken into account. Addressing this fine-tuning problem motivates models of new physics beyond the Standard Model that propose a more satisfactory mechanism to obtain the mass of the Higgs particle(s) around the electroweak scale.
