Abstract

We analyze the bounds on the Higgs pseudo-observables following from electroweak constraints, under the assumption that the Higgs particle is the massive excitation of an doublet. Using such bounds, detailed predictions for decay rates, dilepton spectra, and lepton-universality ratios are presented.
