      Unveiling new physics signature with the Higgs boson and the ATLAS detector 20m

      Ten years after the discovery of the Higgs boson, dominant Higgs production and decay channels were observed and
      found to be compatible with the Standard Model hypothesis. My goal is to measure the fiducial cross section - the
      probability - of the vector boson fusion production of the Higgs boson decaying to two W bosons differentially as
      functions of various kinematic observables. I interpret the difference between the measured distribution and the
      Standard Model prediction with a beyond Standard Model formalism: the Effective Field Theory (EFT). This formalism
      describes anomalous couplings using a set of parameters called the Wilson coefficients. Using the ATLAS Run-2
      dataset, the cross-section measurements narrow the range of several charge-parity even and odd anomalous
      interactions between the Higgs boson and the gauge bosons.
