Description
The Collider Physics 2009: Joint Argonne and IIT Theory Institute will be held this year on May 18-22, with May 18-20 at Argonne, and May 21-22 at the Illinois Institute of Technology in downtown Chicago. This year's workshop takes place the week after the PHENO '09 symposium at the University of Wisconsin in Madison on May 11-13.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together theorists and experimentalists eager to assess, and push forward our understanding of physics signals at elementary particle colliders, particularly at the Fermilab Tevatron and CERN Large Hadron Collider. The topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:
a. Signatures of new physics with missing transverse energy
b. Production of Higgs bosons and Higgs measurements
c. Identification of physics beyond the standard model from future collider data
d. Higher-order QCD corrections and resummation
e. New directions in Monte-Carlo event generators
f. Phenomenology of strong-coupling models for electroweak symmetry breaking
The intended atmosphere of the meeting is that of a real workshop with plenty of discussion and interaction. The talks will be seminar style, with time during and afterward for discussion. An overhead projector for connection from your laptop will be available. The slides from the presentations will be posted on the Internet by the end of the workshop.
