The Zurich phenomenology workshop: Higgs search confronts theory

Europe/Zurich
ETH Zurich, Main Building

ETH Zurich, Main Building

Raemistrasse 101, Zurich
Description
How efficient and robust is the search for Higgs boson signals? Is the true mechanism of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking finally at sight?
Experts in particle physics experimentation, models of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and QCD simulation will tackle these questions in a dedicated workshop organized by the phenomenology groups in the Zurich area. The debate will rely on a potentially revealing amount of high quality data collected at the TEVATRON and the LHC. We hope that this workshop will contribute to the rapid developments during a historic time when nature unveils its secrets at the new energy frontier.
