Abstract

The SM has been demonstrated as successful by many measurements performed at high-energy experiments. In particular, the discovery of a new particle compatible with the SM scalar boson, considered as the cornerstone of the SM, has consecrated the theory. However there are strong indications that the SM is only a low-energy expression of a more global theory. If new physics shows up beyond the SM, it could be related to the scalar sector.
