This work was nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by the LPSC,
Universite Grenoble Alpes, France. The LHC Run 1 was a milestone in
particle physics, leading to the discovery of the Higgs boson, the
last missing piece of the so-called "Standard Model" (SM), and to
important constraints on new physics, which challenge popular
theories like weak-scale supersymmetry. This thesis provides a
detailed account of the legacy of the LHC Run 1 Yregarding these
aspects. First, the SM and the need for its extension are presented
in a concise yet revealing way. Subsequently, the impact of the LHC
Higgs results on scenarios of new physics is assessed in detail,
including a careful discussion of the relevant uncertainties. Two
approaches are considered: generic modifications of the Higgs
couplings, possibly arising from extended Higgs sectors or
higher-dimensional operators; and tests of specific new physics
models. Lastly, the implications of the null results of the
searches for new physics are discussed with a particular focus on
supersymmetric dark matter candidates. Here as well, two approaches
are presented: the "simplified models" approach, and recasting by
event simulation. This thesis stands out for its educational
approach, its clear language and the depth of the physics
discussion. The methods and tools presented offer readers essential
practical tools for future research.
