Description
In the decade since the discovery of a new boson at CERN, the ATLAS and CMS experiments have fully exploited the unprecedented datasets delivered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to 'weigh', 'photograph', and 'probe' this new particle to determine whether it is the single Higgs boson predicted in the standard model of particle physics. Looking toward the future, one of the primary goals of the High-Luminosity LHC era, set to begin toward the end of this decade, is to measure as precisely as possible the Higgs self-coupling, which is directly sensitive to the geometry of the Higgs potential and could determine, literally, the fate of the universe. In this colloquium I will present an overview of what we have learned about the Higgs boson over the past ten years and summarize the prospects for exploring Higgs physics over the next decade, and beyond.
