IAS PROGRAM ON PARTICLE THEORY
Preparing for Discovery: Supersymmetry Searches at the LHC
Dr Sanjay Padhi, CERN
Date : 27 Feb 2014 (Thursday)
Time : 3:00 pm
Venue : IAS4042, 4/F, Lo Ka Chung Building, Lee Shau Kee Campus, HKUST

Abstract

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will produce proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy near 14 TeV, leading to a new regime of phase space that will be accessible for the first time in 2015. With the observation of a Higgs boson at the LHC, along with profound fundamental questions such as the nature of dark matter, naturalness issues, the hierarchy problem, etc., the search for physics beyond the Standard Model takes on renewed urgency. This talk will review the motivations, minimal structure and latest results of the SUSY searches, as well as future experimental topologies and signatures with 13/14 TeV LHC. Emphasis will be given to the signatures involving the Higgs boson in the final state.

The seminar is free and open to all. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
