An interesting question is how present and future experiments will be able to probe the couplings of the Higgs boson and its intrinsic width at a high level of precision. There is a wide variety of beyond the Standard Model (BSM) theories where the Higgs couplings differ from the Standard Model (SM) ones by less that 10%. We take the SM as the theory of "light" degrees of freedom, i.e. d=4 operators and simulate the unknown extension of the SM by the most general set of d=6 operators. In particular we provide an explicit example of momentum-dependent modification of Higgs couplings.
