Taiki Yamamura20/06/2011, 16:00LHC Physics and Tevatron ResultsWe search for the Higgs boson produced in pp-collisions at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The searches are performed by using various decay channels such as H -> gamma gamma, WW, ZZ, tau tau and so on. The analysis of each final state is well performed, where main background contribution is understood in a data-driven technique, but we see no signifcant hint for the signal...Go to contribution page

Dr Yasuhiro Nishimura (The University of Tokyo)23/06/2011, 16:00Particle Factories, Accelerator Physics and future TeV scale collidersThe MEG experiment is currently searching for the lepton-flavor-changing decay μ→eγ. Flavor mixing in the neutrino sector, which is implied by neutrino oscillations, leads to too small branching ratio of the μ→eγ in the Standard Model to be observed. Many extensions of the Standard Model such as Supersymmetric theories, however, bring the branching ratio of the decay within the reach of the...Go to contribution page
