Zurichs Phenomenology Workshop 2016
Particle Physics (IPA)
On January 6-8 approximatively 70 researchers met at the ETH Zurich Main Building to discuss Higgs physics at the Large Hadron Collider LHC. LHC is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator at CERN.
During the past years, the Zurich Phenomenology Workshop ZPW has developed into a forum for particle physics researchers to discuss the latest developments in particle physics.
This year, ZPW was dedicated to precision studies of the Higgs boson. As the Large Hadron Collider completed its first run at a higher energy than before, particle physics researchers are challenged by opportunities in precision measurements of the Higgs particle, which have the potential to reveal phenomena beyond what is expected in the Standard Model of particle physics. The Zurich Phenomenology Workshop brought together leading researchers from experimental and theoretical elementary particle physics to discuss recent breakthroughs in the theoretical simulation of Higgs boson signals, the latest results in experimental Higgs physics and the impact of precision on the search for new physics laws via the Higgs particle.
The workshop is organized jointly by the particle theory groups of UZH and ETH Zurich:
