Title: Testing Radiative Fermion Mass Generation

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.
