Dino Goulianos (Rockefeller University), Jane Nachtman (High Energy Physics), John Terning (UC Davis), M. Wobisch (Fermilab and D0), Yuri Gershtein (Florida State University)
Description
The conference will cover the latest developments in High Energy Physics, concentrating on the theoretical and experimental exploration of the Higgs sector and alternative models of electroweak symmetry breaking. The schedule and the mixture of foreseen talks are designed to encourage interactions between theorists and experimenters, exposing experimenters to the latest theoretical ideas, while providing a dose of reality to the theorists.
