Abstract

Particle physics is confronted by deep questions at the weak scale and the LHC can shed light on them. In this work we propose strategies to understand from its data if electroweak symmetry breaking is natural. We describe a search performed with the CMS detector in a yet unexplored area of natural LHC parameter space and we propose measurements in the Higgs boson sector that can discriminate between natural and unnatural theories
