Dr Gabe Shaughnessy (Northwestern University / Argonne National Laboratory)30/07/2009, 14:00Higgs PhysicsThe Higgs boson is the missing piece of the SM. While the Tevatron and LHC search for the nature of the Higgs, dark matter detection experiments aim to uncover the dark sector. I will review various models that connect these two exciting sectors and discuss their associated signatures.Go to contribution page

Dr Haijun Yang (University of Michigan)30/07/2009, 14:35We report results of a study of the SM Higgs discovery potential through the W-pair leptonic decay modes at the LHC with ATLAS detector. We used MC samples with full detector simulation and reconstruction of the ATLAS experiment to estimate the ATLAS detection sensitivity for the reaction of pp->H->WW->ll nu nu. We first conducted a cut-based analysis, and then performed multivariate...Go to contribution page

Dr Alexey Drozdetskiy (University of Florida)30/07/2009, 15:00Higgs PhysicsWe present an evaluation of the CMS expected 95\% C.L. exclusion limits in early Higgs boson searches. The results are based on a statistical combinations of multiple recent Monte-Carlo analyses: $H\to WW^*\to 2l 2\nu$ and $H\to ZZ^*\to 4l$ decay channels, where $l$ stands for $e$ or $\mu$. We show that these two channels alone should allow for excluding the Standard Model Higgs boson in the...Go to contribution page

Prof. John Conway (University of California, Davis)30/07/2009, 15:25Higgs PhysicsWe present searches for non-standard model Higgs boson production using the latest amount of data collected by the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Supersymmetric extensions of the standard model can yield enhanced production of a neutral MSSM Higgs boson, A, according to the parameter tan(Beta). We search for an A decaying to tau leptons, and set exclusion regions in the tan(Beta)...Go to contribution page

Prof. Flera Ritzadinova (Oklahoma State University)30/07/2009, 16:35Higgs PhysicsWe report on a search for charged Higgs bosons in the mass range 80 < m_H+ < 155 GeV in decays of top quark pairs in ppbar collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV. It has been performed using ~1 fb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The search is based on the analysis of ttbar production rates in the final states with two isolated leptons (electrons or...Go to contribution page

Dr Trevor Vickey (High Energy Physics-Department of Physics-University of Wisconsi)30/07/2009, 17:00Higgs PhysicsThe discovery of a neutral Higgs boson with large branching fractions into tau or muon pair final states would be strong evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model, as would the discovery of a charged Higgs boson. The discovery potential for neutral and charged Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric Extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) with the ATLAS detector at the LHC is...Go to contribution page

Dr German Carrillo-Montoya (University of Wisconsin, Madison)30/07/2009, 17:25Higgs PhysicsThe search for the Higgs boson is a crucial element of the physics program of the LHC. This talk will give an overview of the Standard Model Higgs boson searches under study within ATLAS, with an emphasis on background normalization strategies. Special attention will be given to the search for Higgs bosons in the H->WW decay mode, since this channel is of particular interest for the...Go to contribution page
