Y2.00001: Higgs Boson Studies at the Tevatron Invited Speaker: Wade Fisher Searches for Higgs bosons took place at the Tevatron collider for more than a decade, continuing after the end of Tevatron operations in 2011. These searches evolved and steadily improved over this time, reaching the sensitivity required to exclude Higgs masses in the range of 90-200 GeV. These searches covered a large range of production and decay modes, and were highly complementary to the Higgs boson search at the LHC. On July 2, 2012, the two Tevatron, CDF and D0, together reported evidence for a new particle decaying to bottom quarks. The mass of this new resonance was highly compatible with the Higgs discovery announced by the LHC two days later, at 125 GeV. Since this time, the Tevatron experiments have been performing measurements of the Higgs properties, including sensitive probes of the dominant bbH coupling for this mass. This presentation will discuss the results of the Tevatron's Higgs studies and the potential future directions of study with their data. [Preview Abstract] |

Y2.00002: What can we learn from Higgs coupling measurments? Invited Speaker: Sally Dawson With the discovery of the Higgs boson, the important task becomes understanding the Higgs properties and in particular the couplings to fermions and gauge bosons. The measurement of these couplings can be used to probe possible new physics at high energy scales. I will discuss the uncertainties on the theoretical predictions of Higgs couplings and the interpretation of these measurements in terms of models with extended Higgs sectors or with other new heavy particles.

Y2.00003: Higgs Studies at Future Facilities Invited Speaker: Timothy Barklow The prospects for Higgs studies at future accelerators are reviewed. Detailed studies of the 126 GeV Higgs Boson are presented, including the measurement of the mass, the CP properties, the cross section times branching ratio for several Higgs production mechanisms and decay modes, the total cross section for Higgs production in association with the $Z$ boson, and the invisible Higgs width. The extraction of the Higgs couplings and the total Higgs width from these measurements is examined. In addition, a survey of searches for Higgs Bosons beyond the Standard Model is presented. The following future facilities are considered: the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC), the International Linear Collider (ILC), the Muon Collider ($\mu$C), the Triple-Large Electron-Positron Collider (TLEP), and a 100~TeV proton-proton collider (VLHC).
