Abstract:
Precision measurements of the Higgs couplings are, for the first time, directly probing the mechanism of fermion mass generation. I will discuss to what extent these measurements can distinguish between the tree-level mechanism of the Standard Model and the theoretically motivated alternative of radiative mass generation. Focusing on the third generation, I will introduce a classification of the minimal one-loop models and discuss their phenomenology. Finally, in light of the recent measurement of the Higgs-muon coupling, I will extend this classification to the muon and discuss the irreducible connection between radiative mass generation and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.
