Description
Workshop on Discovery Physics at the LHC Workshop on Discovery Physics at the LHC
Topics:
To include Standard Model physics at hadron colliders as well as Higgs boson, SUSY and exotic particle searches. Discussions on the latest Monte Carlo tools, cross-section calculations for signal and background processes to higher orders, as well as strategies for new physics searches are expected. The status of the CERN Large Hadron Collider, along with first measurements from the LHC experiments, will also be presented.
Goals:
Six days of plenary talks and parallel sessions where some of the very latest experimental results from the LHC (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb), as well as topical beyond the Standard Model theories, will be presented. Proceedings from the Workshop will be published in "Proceedings of Science"
