The case of a large-mass Higgs

chaired by Stefano Frixione (CERN), Charalampos Anastasiou (Unknown)
from to (Europe/Zurich)
at CERN ( 4-3-006 - TH Theory Conference Room )
Description 
We plan to review the scope of the searches for a heavy Higgs boson
and the current strategies used to compute Higgs cross sections,
in the case when the Higgs mass grows large, and width effects become
significant. We hope this will foster a discussion on how to improve
such searches and strategies. We shall also consider how theoretical results are affecting and will affect experimental searches and their interpretations. Although the SM Higgs case will be our benchmark, we shall address the question of the current significance of these searches also in the context of BSM scenarios.
