Lattice Meets Experiment 2013: Beyond the Standard Model

5 Dec 2013, 08:00 → 6 Dec 2013, 17:40 US/Eastern

Large Seminar Room (Bldg 510 (Physics))

Christoph Lehner (Brookhaven National Laboratory), Ethan Neil (University of Colorado/RBRC), Taku Izubuchi (RBRC)

The goal of the "Lattice Meets Experiment" workshop series is to bring together experimentalists, phenomenologists, and lattice theorists, in order to stimulate discussion on the most interesting models and studies to pursue. This workshop will focus on the intersection between lattice and studies of physics beyond the standard model, with topics to include:

• Intersections between new physics and QCD, such as proton decay and electric dipole moments;
• Cosmological physics, including the electroweak phase transition and dark matter detection;
• New theoretical models, which can give rise to composite Higgs or composite dark matter sectors.
