NLO Inspired Effective Lagrangians for Higgs Physics    [PDF]

Giampiero Passarino

Either late autumn this year or latest early next year LHC should have results with 2-3 times the current data which migth give first clues on the couplings of the light narrow resonance. A strategy for measuring deviations from the Standard Model can be based on using the "full" Standard Model, including all available QCD and electroweak higher-order corrections, and supplement it with d= 6 local operators. Their Wilson coefficients are assumed to be small enough that they can be treated at leading order. Examples of the connection of local operators with BSM Lagrangians are presented as well as a discussion of Lagrangians with/without decoupling of heavy degrees of freedom. The whole strategy is critically reviewed in the light of internal consistency.
