Workshop on Collider Physics (Argonne & University of Chicago)

Bldg. 362 Argonne, IL 60439 USA
Description
The aim of the workshop is to bring together theorists and experimentalists eager to assess, disparage, and push forward our understanding of physics signals at elementary particle colliders, particularly at the Fermilab Tevatron and CERN Large Hadron Collider. The topics to be covered include, but are not limited to signatures of new physics with missing transverse energy; production of Higgs bosons in weak-boson fusion; identification of physics beyond the standard model from future collider data; higher-order QCD corrections and resummations; next-to-leading order Monte-Carlo event generators; phenomenology of strong-coupling models for electroweak symmetry breaking.
