The Higgs mechanism and beyond — •Alex Pomarol — Dept. Fisica, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra (Barcelona), Spain

I will give a brief introduction to the Higgs mechanism that give masses to the W & Z gauge bosons, and leads to the Higgs boson prediction. I will then discuss the implications of the recent Higgs discovery and what its mass and couplings tell us. The existence of the Higgs opens new questions about its origin (is it composite?, supersymmetric?, or does it arise from extra-dimensions?) upon which I will also elaborate.
