ABSTRACT:
 
The discovery of a Higgs boson by the LHC experiments opened new possibilities to explore electroweak symmetry breaking and potentially a window into beyond- Standard Model physics such as an extended Higgs sector, anomalous Higgs boson production mechanisms, or rare Higgs boson decay modes. Such discoveries would represent a smoking gun for an extended Higgs sector, and could have long-reaching implications on our understanding on how nature works at its most fundamental level. In this talk I will cover the status, prospects, and the interplay of Higgs boson coupling measurements with searches for a BSM Higgs sector.
