Abstract

The present project aims to explore a physics beyond the standardmodel in the electroweak sector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) andat the next generation colliders, namely Large Hadron ElectronCollider (LHeC) and the linear e+ e- collider, in the post-discoveryscenario of a scalar particle candidate to be the Higgs Boson of thestandard model. In addition to the study of a new physics throughindirect constraints, e.g. the Higgs decay to two photons observed at theLHC, the project intends to investigate the complementarity between LHC and thenext generation colliders in discovering new resonances or interactions.
