Description
With the discovery of a scalar resonance at ATLAS and CMS, the understanding of the electroweak symmetry breaking origin seems a much closer goal. Deviations from SM couplings are different for theories of new physics based on a non-linear realisation of the SU(2)xU(1) gauge symmetry breaking and those assuming a linear realisation. In this talk, I will review and compare the effective Lagrangians of the linear and non-linear realisations and discuss some phenomenological signals.
