Description

The LHC Higgs boson cross-section group started its activity in January 2010 with the purpose of producing agreements on cross sections, branching ratios and pseudo-observables relevant to Standard Model and MSSM Higgs boson(s). The group works across the LHC communities of theorists and experimentalists to profit from the best expertise on the relevant topics. The workshop at BNL is the 4th of the series.
