16:35 → 16:55 Unveiling new physics signature with the Higgs boson and the ATLAS detector

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.
