The 10th Workshop of the LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group
Check agenda for meeting room!
Council Chamber / Main Auditorium / Filtration Plant
The LHC Higgs cross-section working group (HXSWG) was created in January 2010. The aim of this group was to produce agreements on cross sections, branching ratios and pseudo-observables relevant to SM and MSSM Higgs boson(s). In spring 2012, the group was restructured and new subgroups were added with the goal of discussing Higgs property/measurement and BSM extensions. Three CERN Reports have been completed, "Inclusive Observables" (CERN-2011- 002), "Differential Distributions" (CERN-2012-002), and "Higgs Properties" (CERN-2013-004). These achievements facilitated the comparison and combination of Higgs results at LHC since the beginning of the LHC physics programme.
After 5 years of activities, our group has been reorganized in order to prepare the future run at higher energy. The group is organized in three working groups: (1) cross-sections & branching ratios, (2) Higgs properties and (3) beyond the Standard Model. Each of these groups involve some task-force subgroups.
In this 10th general assembly meeting, we shall review the progresses made in the various groups and we shall finalize the recommendations to conduct the analyses with the LHC RUN-2 data in preparation for Moriond 2016. The guidlines for the CERN Report 4 (YR4) document will be finalized, aiming its publication early 2016.
