We consider the Higgs boson decay processes and its production and provide a parameterisation tailored for testing models of new physics. The choice of a particular parameterisation depends on a non-obvious balance of quantity and quality of the available experimental data, envisaged purpose for the parameterisation and degree of model independence. At present only simple parameterisations with a limited number of fit parameters can be performed, but this situation will improve with the forthcoming experimental LHC data. It is therefore important that different approaches are considered and that the most detailed information is made available to allow testing the different aspects of the Higgs boson physics and the possible hints beyond the Standard Model.

The energy dependence of the electroweak gauge couplings has not been measured above the weak scale. We propose that percent-level measurements of the energy dependence of $alpha_{1,2}$ can be performed now at the LHC and at future higher energy hadr on colliders. These measurements can be used to set limits on new particles with electroweak quantum numbers without relying on any assumptions about their decay properties. The shape of the high invariant mass spectrum of Drell-Yan, $p p rightarrow Z^*/gamma^* rightarrow ell^+ ell^-$, constrains $alpha_{1,2}(Q)$, and the shape of the high transverse mass distribution of $p p rightarrow W^* rightarrow ell u$ constrains $alpha_{2}(Q)$. We use existing data to perform the first fits to $alpha_{1,2}$ above the weak scale. Percent-level measurements are possible because of high precision in theoretical predictions and existing experimental measurements. We show that the LHC already has the reach to improve upon electroweak precision tests for new particles that dominantly couple through their electroweak charges. The 14 TeV LHC is sensitive to the predicted Standard Model (SM) running of $alpha_2$, and can show that $alpha_2$ decreases with energy at $2-3 sigma$ significance. A future 100 TeV proton-proton collider will have significant reach to measure running weak couplings, with sensitivity to the SM running of $alpha_2$ at $4-5 sigma$ and sensitivity to winos with masses up to $sim$ 1.3 TeV at $2sigma$.
After the discovery of a scalar resonance, resembling the Higgs boson, its couplings have been extensively studied via the measurement of various production and decay channels on the invariant mass peak. Recently, it has been suggested the possibilit y to use off-shell measurements: in particular, CMS has published results based on the high- invariant mass cross section of the process $gg to ZZ$, which contains the contribution of the Higgs. While this measurement has been interpreted as a constraint on the Higgs width after very specific assumptions are taken on the Higgs couplings, in this letter we show that a much more model-independent interpretation is possible.
The measured properties of the recently discovered Higgs boson are in good agreement with predictions from the Standard Model. However, small deviations in the Higgs couplings may manifest themselves once the currently large uncertainties will be imp roved as part of the LHC program and at a future Higgs factory. We review typical new physics scenarios that lead to observable modifications of the Higgs interactions. They can be divided into two broad categories: mixing effects as in portal models or extended Higgs sectors, and vertex loop effects from new matter or gauge fields. In each model we relate coupling deviations to their effective new physics scale. It turns out that with percent level precision the Higgs couplings will be sensitive to the multi-TeV regime.

With the deeper study of Higgs particle, Higgs precision measurements can be served to probe new physics indirectly. In many new physics models, vector-like quarks $T_L,~T_R$ occur naturally. It is important to probe their couplings with standard mod el particles. In this work, we consider the singlet $T_L,~T_R$ extended models and show how to constrain the $Tth$ couplings through the $hrightarrowgamma Z$ decay at high-luminosity LHC. Firstly, we derive the perturbative unitarity bounds on $|y_{L,~R}^{tT}|$ with other couplings set to be zeros simply. To optimize the situation, we take $m_T$ = 400 GeV and $s_L$ = 0.2 considering the experimental constraints. Under this benchmark point, we find that the future bounds from $hrightarrowgamma Z$ decay can limit the real parts of $y_{L,~R}^{tT}$ in the positive direction to be O(1) because of the double enhancement. For the real parts of $y_{L,~R}^{tT}$ in the negative direction, it is always surpassed by the perturbative unitarity. Moreover, we find that the top quark electric dipole moment can give stronger bounds (especially the imaginary parts of $y_{L,~R}^{tT}$) than the perturbative unitarity and $hrightarrowgamma Z$ decay in the off-axis regions for some scenarios.
The rare top decay t-> c l+l-, which involves flavor violation, is studied as a possible probe of new physics. This decay is analyzed with the simplest Standard Model extensions with additional gauge symmetry formalism. The considered extension is th e Left-Right Symmetric Model, including a new neutral gauge boson Z that allows to obtain the decay at tree level through Flavor Changing Neutral Currents (FCNC) couplings. The neutral gauge boson couplings are considered diagonal but family non-universal in order to induce these FCNC. We find the $BR(t-> c l+l-)~10^{-13} for a range 1 TeV < M_{Z} < 3 TeV.
