Probing the Higgs and BSM through HVV vertex at the LHC

Description

I shall start by discussing various possibilities of obtaining
information on the spin and CP of the Higgs boson at the LHC. I shall
then examine methods to probe the HVV vertex using the production of
the Higgs in the vector boson fusion process as well as its associated
production with the vector boson V. Observables that can distinguish
clearly between the SM vertex and the higher dimensional operators
will be pointed out. A method that can be used to study HWW vertex
'separately' -- without any possible contamination from the HZZ vertex
-- will be presented. I shall end by pointing out an interesting
observable in the ttH production that can give unambiguous information
on the CP of the Higgs.
