SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the lack of visibility regarding experiments aimed at measuring the self-interaction of the Higgs boson, particularly within the ATLAS collaboration. Participants express concern that current research focuses primarily on verifying supersymmetry rather than exploring Higgs self-interaction, which could indicate new physics if results deviate from predictions. References to relevant papers, including PRD94 052002 (2016) and EPJC 75:412 (2015), are provided, along with guidance on accessing these documents via Google and arXiv.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Higgs boson properties and interactions
  • Familiarity with particle physics experiments, particularly those conducted at the LHC
  • Knowledge of supersymmetry and its implications in theoretical physics
  • Ability to navigate academic databases and access research papers
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of Higgs self-interaction on current physics theories
  • Study the methodology of ATLAS experiments at the LHC
  • Explore the significance of the referenced papers: PRD94 052002 (2016) and EPJC 75:412 (2015)
  • Learn how to effectively use arXiv for accessing physics research papers
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, researchers in particle physics, and students interested in the Higgs boson and its interactions, particularly those exploring experimental physics and theoretical implications of new findings.

Hello Everyone, Hope you are all enjoying learning more and more about this wonderful world of Physics!

Is it that I am missing something somewhere, but when I searched the ATLAS site to find out what experiments were planned to measure the self-interaction of the Higgs, I could see nothing! It all seems to be about verifying supersymmetry and other new theories. One would think that knowing the self-interaction of the Higgs would signal new physics definitely if it were different from that which is predicted. It would be good to hear from a senior academic on this.

Best wishes and keep on exploring the frontiers!

Thanks very much! Would be most grateful if you could tell me how to locate those references. Best wishes.
 
There is this thing called "Google". If you go to www.google.com and put in "PRD94 052002 (2016)", for example, it will return the link to the paper. It's really remarkable.
 
All LHC papers are freely available from the publishers, not just the arXiv.
