Status of Higgs and BSM searches at the LHC

11 Apr 2011, 14:00 → 13 Apr 2011, 18:00 Europe/Zurich

222/R-001 (CERN)

Michelangelo Mangano (CERN)

A review of the results on Higgs and BSM searches at the LHC, presented at the 2011 Winter conferences, with a discussion of their phenomenological consequences, and implications for the the preparation of the analyses of the forthcoming 2011-12 run. Among the topics covered:

• presentations by the experiments
• status reports of activities of the "Characterization of new physics" working group studies. 
• benchmark scenarios for BSM searches
• status of statistics tools for BSM
• status of theory cross sections for BSM processes

39 Report from the "SUSY Recast" Workshop (April 8-9 2011)

SUSY Recast will focus on using the analyses that are currently available for limits (assuming no discovery by the time of the workshop) on supersymmetric models and on recasting/reusing these limits to place limits on models that have not been analyzed by the experimental community. The idea is to develop a procedure for a theorist to propose a model, send new physics events generated in this model to the experimental collaborations at the LHC, and have the experimental collaborations come back quickly with the limits on the new model. http://particle.physics.ucdavis.edu/calendar/view_entry.php?id=634&date=20110408
