The 20th Workshop of the LHC Higgs Working Group
The aim of the LHC Higgs Working Group (LHCHWG) is to collect and produce theoretical predictions relevant for Higgs physics in the Standard Model and beyond. Summaries of these activities have been made available in four CERN Reports: "Inclusive Observables" (CERN-2011-002), "Differential Distributions" (CERN-2012-002), "Higgs Properties" (CERN-2013-004) and "Deciphering the nature of the Higgs Sector" (CERN-2017-002).
Contribution requests should be addressed to the individual WG Conveners and the Steering Committee.
The meeting will be in-person at CERN, however a Zoom connection will be available for those who cannot travel to CERN.
If you will request financial assistance, you must register before October 1st and request it in the registration form.
Zoom connection details will only be visible to registered participants.
Social events
- The workshop dinner will be held on Tuesday at 7pm, at Luigia Academy in Meyrin. The set menu (3 courses) costs 60 CHF. More details are here.
- There will be a joint drinks event with our LHC EFT colleagues on Wednesday at the end of the workshop (outside the Council Chamber).
