BSM lessons from the SM Higgs

Abstract

In this talk I will review the implications on Standard Model (SM) and Beyond the SM (BSM) theory of the experimental exploration of the scalar sector. Given that the Higgs discovery has been the most important achievement, I will start by a general overview of its dramatic impact on the physics of fundamental interaction. Next, I will describe how scalar sector results, including the measurements of the Higgs couplings and mass and the negative searches for extra scalars, constrain concrete BSM scenarios related with Naturalness. In particular, I will discuss composite Higgs and low energy supersymmetry, both in its minimal and next-to-minimal implementations.
