Conference
The Search for New States and Forces of Nature
Oct 26, 2009 - Oct 30, 2009
Abstract
As we enter the LHC era, a wide range of data will craft our thinking of physics at the weak scale. The leap forward from the LHC will be accompanied by the ongoing search for the Higgs boson and other new states at the Tevatron. Altogether, this promises to unlock the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking and the hierarchy problem. Simultaneously, cosmic ray experiments may provide clues to the nature of dark matter, while direct detection experiments will probe a broad range of WIMP parameter space. New proposals for low-energy experiments can explore the possibility of lighter, weakly coupled states. On the eve of this major transition, we aim to bring together scientists pursuing the reach of these experiments from a variety of directions to consider the broad range of signals that may await us. The conference will be a concluding event for the "Searching for New Physics at the LHC" workshop at GGI.
Topics
* Solutions to the hierarchy problem, including SUSY, RS and little Higgs models
* Higgs physics
* Collider searches and techniques for discovering/measuring new physics
* Models of flavor and implications for upcoming experiments
* Theories of dark matter and their signatures
* New forces, and their signals at high- and low- energy experiments
* Hidden valleys and long-lived states
