WORKSHOP

We'd like to thank all participants and speakers for a wonderful workshop. You can find the slides of all talks below. We've posted here some pictures from the workshop.
hello

Higgs search confronts theory

How efficient and robust is the search for Higgs boson signals? Is the true mechanism of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking finally at sight?

Experts in particle physics experimentation, models of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and QCD simulation will tackle these questions in a dedicated workshop organized by the phenomenology groups in the Zurich area.

The debate will rely on a potentially revealing amount of high quality data collected at the TEVATRON and the LHC. We hope that this workshop will contribute to the rapid developments during a historic time when nature unveils its secrets at the new energy frontier.
