EF02 will focus on the study of the Higgs as a portal to discover new physics proposed future colliders including pp, e+e-, and ep machines. This topical groups focuses on studies of BSM Higgs such as the 2HDM, SUSY Higgs (e.g. A->Zh,  same as LFV and Charged Higgs etc.), Extra scalars, Exotic Higgs Decays, mono-Higgs searches. This group will address:
  * Higgs as origin of EWSB and naturalness portal
  * Higgs and EW phase transition
  * Higgs as the origin of all flavor in SM
  * Higgs portal - explicitly as lowest dimensional gauge invariant operator to other sectors

These topics will benefit from the synergies with other topical groups . All groups commit to working together to ensure the least possible duplication and a full sharing of information. Cross-group topics are:

  * Flavor violating Higgs production and decays  ([[higgs|EF01 - EW Physics: Higgs Boson properties and couplings]])
  * Effect on Higgs couplings to fermions/bosons and on the Higgs width from extending the scalar sector ([[higgs|EF01 - EW Physics: Higgs Boson properties and couplings]])
  * H->hh ([[higgs|EF01 - EW Physics: Higgs Boson properties and couplings]])
  * Composite Higgs ([[bsm_models|BSM: Model specific explorations]])
