lecture Chicago 2012 workshop on LHC physics
Date/Time: from Wednesday, 2 May 2012 (08:30) to Friday, 4 May 2012 (17:30) (America/Chicago)
Location: Gleacher Center - University of Chicago ( 300 )
Chairperson: Florencia Maria Canelli (University of Chicago and Fermilab), Marcela Carena Lopez (Unknown)
Description:
This workshop consists of sessions organized by analysis signature, covering 
both measurements and searches for new physics. Discussions will be 
focused on exploring potential improvements to the analyses and connections
between models of new physics and search strategies. The workshop
participants will include theorists and experimentalists to trigger collaborations 
bridging the two communities. A second workshop will follow in the late fall of 2012.

The workshop will be held in Chicago downtown between May 2 and 4, 2012.
