cHarged 2008 - Prospects for Charged Higgs Discovery at Colliders

16 Sept 2008, 08:30 → 19 Sept 2008, 13:00 Europe/Stockholm

Auditorium Minus (Gustavianum, Uppsala)

In view of the upcoming experimental program at LHC we intend to organize a four days workshop on the theme “Prospects for Charged Higgs Discovery at Colliders” at Uppsala University, Sweden 16-19 September 2008. This will be the second workshop of this kind. The plan is to bring together theorists and experimentalists to review the development,of charged Higgs searches at colliders, in particular with regard to theory/phenomenology and generator level simulation as well as to strategies for experimental data simulation, for triggers and for data analysis in the various experiments. New results in these fields will be presented in invited and contributed talks to the workshop and discussed in special break-out sessions. Special emphasis will be placed on the potential for charged Higgs discovery at LHC.
