EXOTIC PRODUCTION AND EXTENDED HIGGS SECTORS Discussion Session

HEAVY HIGGS BOSONS: A/H/h à ττ ¡ Results both model independent and MSSM benchmark scenarios § No hints of extended Higgs Sector yet ¡ Moving to 2015, and taking into account the picture that Run I provides § What’s the theoretical wish list on this channel for 2015? § Any missing deliverables from the experiments?

ELECTROWEAK SCALE PHYSICS Whe hen s searchi hing f for n new H Higgs bosons, ho how t to m make s sure w we ha have a a b broad c coverage? Benchm hmarks vs vs S Simplified m models?

SUSY HIGGS SECTOR The heorists L LOVE m model-independent l limits. How t to p properly d define m model-independent l limits? (Ar Are t the here t truly m model-independent l limits?)

ALIGNMENT VS DECOUPLING: When When w will w we kn e know w whe hether ther w we a e are i e in d decou ecoupling or g or a align gnmen ment t re regim ime? W Will w ill we k kno now wit w with conf h confide idence nce in R in Run II? un II?? Wha What ha t happen ens t s to a o align gnmen ment w t when hen y you ou go b go beyon ond 2HD 2HDM/M /MSSM SSM? ? Fo For example, is there an alignment limit in the SU(2) triplet mod model els? s?

DI-HIGGS RESONANCE ¡ Important channel that is well-motivated from the “alignment limit.” ¡ Both scalar->hh and spin-2 -> hh are searched for ¡ Combination of CMS and ATLAS already a feature of many Run1 results ¡ Propects for combination in the context of today How much is limiting the narrow results, for instance in hh width approximation? searches? Is the vbf production mechanism worth to be investigated?

TTH / TH ¡ ttH ttH and and tH tH will be will be k key in R y in Run 2 un 2 ¡ Yesterday’s discussion focused on reducing the theoretical uncertainties ¡ Tu Turning the question: If the excess pe persis ists, what , what can w can we le learn fr arn from om it it?

COMPOSITE HIGGS From H.-C. Cheng From A. Wulzer: Whi Which “c h “comp mposi site Hi e Higgs” mo ggs” model el?? ?? Is Is t the here re a s a smok oking ing-g -gun s un sig ignal or lit nal or litmus us t test at at R Run II ( un II (or or be beyond) ond)?

RARE HADRONIC HIGGS DECAYS Only acce Only accessible ible at at H HL-LH L-LHC and be and beyond ? ond ? Wo Would it be feasible/possible to design a special purpose de detect ctor t or to f o focus ocus on t on the he “ “sof oft s stuf uff” f”? (Could be (Co e used sed to sea search for exoti tic dec ecays s of h(1 (125) 25) too!) !)

CHARGED HIGGS ¡ Echoing the request in the ATLAS talk: lack of reliable computations to close the gap between 160 and 200 GeV ¡ In a more general way: what are the prospects for new computations?
