B10.00001: Physics of the Higgs boson at the LHC Invited Speaker: Lashkar Kashif The discovery of a Standard-Model-like Higgs boson was a major highlight of the LHC Run 1. The ATLAS and CMS experiments have each made significant progress in understanding the properties of this boson using the full Run 1 dataset, taken at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. In this talk, I will review the major production and decay modes of the Higgs boson at the LHC, and present a selection of the latest results from both experiments, including measurements made on the discovered boson as well as searches for additional Higgs-like states. I will briefly discuss prospects for these measurements and searches using data from the upcoming LHC Run 2 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. [Preview Abstract] |

B10.00002: Precision Higgs Physics Invited Speaker: Radja Boughezal The future of the high energy physics program will increasingly rely upon precision studies looking for deviations from the Standard Model. Run I of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) triumphantly discovered the long-awaited Higgs boson, and there is great hope in the particle physics community that this new state will open a portal onto a new theory of Nature at the smallest scales. A precision study of Higgs boson properties is needed in order to test whether this belief is true. New theoretical ideas and high-precision QCD tools are crucial to fulfill this goal. They become even more important as larger data sets from LHC Run II further reduce the experimental errors and theoretical uncertainties begin to dominate. In this talk, I will review recent progress in understanding Higgs properties,including the calculation of precision predictions needed to identify possible physics beyond the Standard Model in the Higgs sector. New ideas for measuring the Higgs couplings to light quarks as well as bounding the Higgs width in a model-independent way will be discussed. Precision predictions for Higgs production in association with jets and ongoing efforts to calculate the inclusive N$^3$LO cross section will be reviewed. [Preview Abstract] |

B10.00003: Higgs Properties in the Standard Model and Beyond Invited Speaker: Ian Low I will give an overview on our current understanding of properties of the 125 GeV Higgs boson and discuss physics opportunities associated with the Higgs boson in the future. [Preview Abstract] |
