HEFT2015 - Higgs Effective Field Theory Workshop

3 Nov 2015, 17:30 → 6 Nov 2015, 18:00 US/Central

WERC162 (William Eckhardt Research Center, University of Chicago)

The Higgs Effective Field Theories 2015 workshop (HEFT 2015) will take place at the William Eckhardt Research Center in Chicago from Wednesday 4th to Friday 6th November 2015. The aim of the workshop is to bring together experts working in the areas of Effective Field Theory techniques in Higgs and BSM physics. We hope that this meeting will foster stimulating discussions and exchange of ideas on the topic. To further expand the horizons of these discussions, we plan on having some talks by key experimental colleagues as well.
