Content
In a natural theory of electroweak symmetry breaking, the degrees of freedom
that cure the hierarchy problem are expected to affect also the loop-induced
couplings of the Higgs to gluons and photons. However, in the inclusive
Higgs production rate measured so far at the LHC, the long-distance
contribution of the top quark and the short-distance contribution of new
physics cannot be disentangled. In this talk I will argue that the pp -> h +
jet process at large pT can resolve this degeneracy, and thus provide
another handle besides pp -> t tbar h. As concrete examples, I will discuss
the cases of stops in supersymmetry and of top partners in composite Higgs
models.
