    VBF 2026: Precision in VBF Higgs in the context of the High-Luminosity LHC

    → Europe/Berlin
    SuperC - RWTH Aachen University, Templergraben 57, 52062 Aachen
    Christian Preuss (University of Goettingen), Mathieu Pellen (University of Freiburg (DE))
    Description

    This workshop will bring together theorists and experimentalists working on Higgs production via vector-boson fusion (VBF) and related topics such as other Higgs production mechanisms or di-Higgs production. A particular aim of the workshop is to understand and discuss the expectations for the high-luminosity LHC on both the experimental and theoretical side.

    This event also aims at boosting activities within the VBF subgroup of the Higgs cross section working group. In particular, it should initiate new projects within the working group.

    The program consists of both invited presentations and voluntary contributions. If you are interested in giving a presentation, please submit an abstract.

    Note that we expect in-person speakers and strongly encourage in-person participation.

    The workshop will start on Wednesday afternoon and ends on Friday around lunch time.

    Note that the HP2 Conference (High Precision for Hard Processes) will take place the week after in Karlsruhe which can be easily reached by train from Aachen.

    Below, the minutes of the meeting in terms of potential future project for the VBF subgroup.
