Title: LHC Probes of the Higgs and Other Scalars
Speaker: Roberto Vega Morales,
Abstract: In this talk I will give an overview of various LHC probes of the Higgs boson as well as other potential exotic scalars. In particular I will discuss Higgs boson decays to final states involving leptons and photons as a way of studying a number of physics possibilities including: CP violation, anomalous Higgs couplings, the CP properties of the top Yukawa, and custodial symmetry. If time permits I will then discuss potential probes of fermiophobic Higgs bosons as well as a 750 GeV diphoton scalar resonance.
