Description

This Aspen winter conference is one of the major venues for the particle physics community to present new data and discuss novel ideas. Topics will include Higgs physics, dark matter, flavor physics, and physics beyond the Standard Model.  New experimental results will be announced, including from the Large Hadron Collider and dark matter direct detection.  There will be an emphasis on charting new experimental and theoretical directions.  

Application deadline is December 15, 2017

Please complete your application at: http://www.aspenphys.org/physicists/winter/winterapps.html

        Higgs couplings at high scales 20m

        The experiments at the LHC have been improving the measurements of the Higgs boson properties, and searches for new physics are being actively conducted. In the absence of deviations from the Standard Model thus far, it would be prudent to seek for other complementary strategies in the experiments at the energy frontier. We propose to study the Higgs couplings at high energy scales. We focus on the energy scale-dependence of the off-shell Higgs propagation and of the top quark Yukawa coupling. We present several representative scenarios relevant to addressing the naturalness problem. We find that certain scenarios are potentially observable at the LHC upgrade to high luminosity or to higher energy.
