DESCRIPTION:The origin of Electroweak symmetry breaking is one of the cent
 ral topics of research in fundamental physics. The discovery of a Higgs bo
 son at CERN on July 4th\, 2012\, following a hunt that spanned several dec
 ades and multiple colliders\, changed the landscape of these investigation
 s and provided key evidence for the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism of mass 
 generation through the spontaneous breaking of Electroweak symmetry.\nMore
  than ten years later\, the hunt goes on several fronts\, in particular fo
 r:\n\nNew physics through precision studies of the properties of the Higgs
  boson : in particular its mass\, spin and couplings to other Standard Mod
 el particles.\nNew production and decay modes\, in particular in processes
  involving multiple Higgs bosons which provide key insight into the shape 
 of the Higgs potential.\nNew Higgs-like states and signals for physics bey
 ond the Standard Model.\n\nThe 15th workshop of the « Higgs Hunting » se
 ries organized on July 15-17 2025 will present an overview of these topics
 \, focusing in particular on new developments in the LHC Run-2 analyses\, 
 detailed studies of Higgs boson properties and possible deviations from St
 andard Model predictions. Highlights will also include a first look at LHC
  Run-3 analyses\, prospects from studies at future colliders\, and recent 
 theoretical developments.\nThe workshop will be held in person in Orsay\, 
 for the first day\, and Paris\, for the two following days\, to continue t
 he Higgs Hunting tradition of lively discussions during and after the sess
 ions. Remote participation will also be made possible for those unable to 
 attend in person. No registration fees are asked for remote participation.
 \n\n\n\n\n\n \nMary K. Gaillard passed away on 23 May 2025. A major figur
 e in particle theory\, she made fundamental contributions to the establish
 ment of the Standard Model. Notably\, she achieved a successful determinat
 ion of the charm quark mass from kaon decays\; predicted three-jet events 
 in e+ e- collisions\, providing crucial evidence for the existence of gluo
 ns\; and forecasted the bottom quark mass within the framework of unified 
 theories. She also pioneered systematic studies of Higgs boson production 
 and decay at particle colliders\, sketching its first phenomenological pro
 file that launched its experimental hunt. Beyond the Standard Model\, Mary
  K. made numerous and invaluable contributions to Grand Unified Theories a
 nd supersymmetric theories\, including work on proton decay\, supersymmetr
 y breaking\, and effective supergravity theories derived from superstrings
 . The Higgs Hunting workshop was honored to welcome her in 2016 as the spe
 aker for its traditional historical talk\nthan you can see in\nhttps://web
 cast.in2p3.fr/video/historical_talk_gaillard\nMary K. spent a substantial 
 portion of her career in France and at CERN\, from her doctoral studies in
  Orsay to the creation of the theoretical physics laboratory LAPTh in Anne
 cy. The Higgs Hunting workshop extends its deepest condolences to her coll
 eagues at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and to her family.\n\n
