Searches for new physics: recommendations for the presentation of LHC results

Monday 13 Feb 2012, 09:00 → 19:00 Europe/Zurich

TH Theory Conference Room (CERN)

Michelangelo Mangano (CERN), Sabine Kraml (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (FR))

During the Les Houches 2011 workshop, discussions started to define a set of recommendations for the presentation of LHC results on searches for new physics, aimed at providing a more efficient flow of scientific information between the experimental collaborations and the rest of the high energy physics community, and facilitating the interpretation of the results in a wide class of models. This discussion evolved into a draft document, available for download from this page. The goal of this meeting is to review this draft and present it to the experiments for discussion and eventual endorsement.

EVO connection will be available: the link will appear on the agenda page 30' before the start of the meeting. Please register even if you participate only by EVO
