The LHC Higgs Signal: Characterization, Interpretation and BSM Model Implications

Date:	April 22 - 26, 2013
Location:	University of California Davis
Building:	UC Davis Physics Department

Abstract:

The workshop will bring together experimentalists and theorists to discuss the LHC Higgs-like signal, its nature and the implications for BSM theories, especially SUSY.

To contact the organizers, please send email to
jfgunion@ucdavis.edu.

Program

The general structure is: Higgs focus on days 1-3; SUSY focus on day 4; beyond SUSY and New Ideas (SUSY or otherwise) focus on day 5.
