Analysis Centre seminar: Fred Olness (SMU, CTEQ): Benchmark processes at the LHC

Monday 8 Mar 2010, 16:30 → 18:30 Europe/Berlin

Abstract: At the LHC, W and Z boson production will be used as benchmark processes to calibrate various searches for the Higgs boson, SUSY, and other "new physics" processes. In the context of the PDF global analysis, we examine current data from HERA, Tevatron and fixed targets to properly quantify the PDF uncertainties. This helps us to distinguish "new physics" from "old physics", thereby maximizing the discovery potential of the LHC. ------------------------------------- DESY Hamburg, 16:30 ___________________________ EVO connection: Title: Analysis Centre Seminars Description: Analysis Centre Seminars Community: Terascale Phone Bridge ID: 1312410 Meeting URL: http://evo.vrvs.org/evoGate/koala.jnlp?meeting=MaMDMt222sDeDi9M98DI9a
