What do precision Higgs measurements buy us?

Abstract

We study the sensitivities of future precision Higgs measurements and electroweak observables in probing physics beyond the Standard Model. Using effective field theory--appropriate since precision measurements are indirect probes of new physics--we examine two well-motivated test cases. One is a tree-level example due to a singlet scalar field that enables the first-order electroweak phase transition for baryogenesis. The other is a one-loop example due to scalar top in the MSSM. We find both Higgs and electroweak measurements are sensitive probes of these cases.
