Prospects for Higgs physics at energies up to 100 TeV.

We summarize the prospects for Higgs boson physics at future proton-proton colliders with centre of mass (c.m.) energies up to 100 TeV.

Vector-like top/bottom-quark partners and Higgs physics at the LHC.

Vector-like quarks (VLQ) that are partners of the heavy top and bottom quarks are predicted in many extensions of the standard model (SM). We explore the possibility that these states could explain not only the long-standing anomaly in the forward-backward asymmetry in -quark production at LEP, [Formula: see text], but also the more recent [Formula: see text]2[Formula: see text] deviation of the cross section for the associated Higgs production with top-quark pairs at the LHC, [Formula: see text]. Introducing three illustrative models for VLQs with different representations under the SM gauge group, we show that the two anomalies can be resolved while satisfying all other theoretical and experimental constraints.

Implications of the Higgs discovery for the MSSM.

The implications of the discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC with a mass of approximately 125 GeV are summarised in the context of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, the MSSM. Discussed are the implications from the measured mass and production/decay rates of the observed particle and from the constraints in the search for the heavier Higgs states at the LHC.
