Higgs physics: It ain’t over till it’s over

Publication date: Available online 27 May 2019Source: Physics ReportsAuthor(s): Sally Dawson, Christoph Englert, Tilman PlehnAbstractWe review the theoretical underpinning of the Higgs mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and the experimental status of Higgs measurements from a pedagogical perspective. The possibilities and motivations for new physics in the symmetry breaking sector are discussed along with current measurements. A focus is on the implications of measurements in the Higgs sector for theoretical insights into extensions of the Standard Model. We also discuss of future prospects for Higgs physics and new analysis techniques.
