Higgs Hunter's Digest

Description
Jamison Galloway reviews recent Higgs data from the LHC and discuss ways in which model-independent conclusions can be drawn. The bottom-up thinking that goes into this can help to determine what other new physics we might anticipate finding at accessible scales, while allowing us to assess emerging proposals for the origins of the hinted Higgs-like state at 125 GeV. Using composite Higgs and the MSSM as two case studies, Galloway discusses the benefits of constructing these generalized exclusions and describe some very general conclusions that they will help to illuminate with current and future data.

Events with three or more prompt leptons are rare at hadron colliders. At the LHC, where high interaction energies and rates create extremely busy final states, such multilepton events are well suited as a probe for new physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Mike Hance describes some recent...

The July 4th announcement of the discovery of a Higgs-like particle at CERN LHC is only the beginning of a challenging program of "Higgs Identification" to establish the quantum numbers and couplings of the new particle, and to reveal its relationship, if any, to electroweak symmetry-breaking and...

Jet substructure is typically studied using clustering algorithms, such as kT, which arrange the jets' constituents into trees. Instead of considering a single tree per jet, Tuhin Roy proposes that multiple trees should be considered, weighted by an appropriate metric. Then each jet in each event...
