We consider modifications of the Higgs potential due to new physics at high energy scales. These upset delicate cancellations predicted by the Standard Model for processes involving Higgs bosons and longitudinal gauge bosons, and lead to a breakdown of the theory at high energies. We focus on modifications of the Higgs trilinear coupling and use the violation of tree-level unitarity as an estimate of the scale where the theory breaks down. We obtain a completely model-independent bound of ~ 13 TeV for an order-1 modification of the trilinear. We argue that this bound can be saturated only in fine-tuned models, and the scale of new physics is likely to be much lower. The most stringent bounds are obtained from amplitudes involving multiparticle states that are not conventional scattering states. Our results show that a future determination of the Higgs cubic coupling can point to a well-defined scale of new physics that can be targeted and explored at future colliders.

ACT stands for Awkward Cosmology Theories
Reconciling Starobinsky inflation with ACT data requires fine-tuned higher-curvature scales, stiff reheating with ω_reh>1/3, or negative-energy towers, all hard to motivate from UV completions.

The Potential of HEFT and the scale of New Physics
From a geometric recursion, the authors compute leading high-energy amplitudes with arbitrary multiplicities, resum them into unitarity bounds and cut-offs, and show that a dilaton HEFT reaches the SM as Δ→2 without p...

Positivity and partial wave unitarity bounds on ALP theories via amplitude methods
Complete partial-wave unitarity and positivity bounds are derived for ALP effective interactions up to dimension 8, with new SMEFT positivity constraints as a byproduct.

High Energy Vector Boson Scattering in Four-Body Final States to Probe Higgs Cubic, Quartic, and HEFT interactions
With modified Higgs potentials, 2-to-4 vector boson scattering has unitarity violation scales around ten times lower than 2-to-3 scattering and can overtake its cross section at parton energies of a few TeV.

Exploring anomalous couplings in Higgs boson pair production through shape analysis
Anomalous Higgs couplings change the shape of the di-Higgs mass distribution, and an unsupervised clustering algorithm captures those shape differences more finely than a hand-defined taxonomy.

Deep Learning to Improve the Sensitivity of Higgs Pair Searches in the $4b$ Channel at the LHC
An attention-based full-event classifier constrains the Higgs self-coupling to (-0.53, 6.01) at 68% CL in the HH to 4b channel, a projected improvement over cut-based analyses.
