SUMMARY:Status and Future of Tau physics at the LHC \, Physics Departm
 ent Colloquium\, Isobel Ojalvo\, University of Wisconsin - Madison
DESCRIPTION:The observation of a Higgs boson by the LHC experiments th
 rough its decays <br>
\nto vector bosons was an extremely significant 
 milestone in particle physics <br>
\nresearch\; one which redefined th
 e research priorities in the field. After <br>
\nthis discovery the fi
 rst step was to test the compatibility of the new <br>
\nparticle with
  the SM Higgs by searching for the different possible Higgs <br>
\ncou
 plings. The decay to fermions is of fundamental importance since it <b
 r>
\nproves the presence of Yukawa couplings in the theory. Since Higg
 s couples <br>
\nto mass\, it breaks lepton universality\, therefore d
 ecays to tau leptons are <br>
\nenhanced.  The next step is to use the
  Higgs as a tool for new physics <br>
\nsearches through its decays (i
 .e. lepton flavor violation) or through its <br>
\nassociated producti
 on with other particles (A->Zh\, H->hh\, etc.) <br>
\n<br>
\nThe exper
 imental challenges of triggering and identifying tau leptons will <br>
 
\nbe described. Then the recent Higgs results will be presented for t
 he SM <br>
\nHiggs and the SUSY extensions. Finally\, the future prosp
 ects of Higgs and <br>
\ntau physics will be summarized.
