Description:

A key objective in Higgs physics for the coming decade is to measure its production cross section differentially, such as a function of its momentum. This measurement will test the potential existence of new physics particularly in the tail of the momentum distribution, which is sensitive to higher-order effective operators. This talk will review recent experimental results exploring highly energetic Higgs production at the Large Hadron Collider, focusing on both single and double-Higgs production with hadronic final states. I will also discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by data from the current and near-future runs.
