SUMMARY:Present and Future of Higgs Couplings Measurements at the LHC
DESCRIPTION:Featuring David Sperka \, Boston University\n\nPart of the HEE 
	Seminar Series.\n\nOne of the major physics goals of the CMS experiment at 
	the LHC is the measurement of the 125 GeV Higgs boson's couplings to known 
	standard model particles. Since the same coupling can contribute to several
	 different Higgs production and decay processes\, the most precise and mode
	l independent determination comes from a combined global fit to all of the 
	available data. I will discuss the recent combined measurements and interpr
	etations from the CMS experiment using the full 2016 dataset\, correspondin
	g to 35.9 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. In addition to testing the data's 
	compatibility with the standard model predictions\, I will also discuss how
	 these measurements constrain indirectly BSM physics\, in particular models
	 with extended Higgs sectors and those that predict exotic Higgs decays. Fi
	nally I will discuss a "road map" for how these measurements will evolve in
	 the era of the HL-LHC\, using as a first example the recent CMS combined m
	easurements of differential Higgs production cross sections.
