Higgs Systematics Meeting

May 17, 2010, 8:00 AM → May 19, 2010, 5:00 PM US/Central

Curia II (Fermilab)

Stephen Mrenna (Fermilab)

The aim of this meeting to facilitate an exchange of information between the CDF and DØ experimental groups and phenomenologists and theorists to allow an improvement of the theory tools and analysis techniques that impact analyses such as this Higgs boson search. MODIFICATION KEY: Disabled
