  • Some seminar talks will be scheduled for the week of 25th of july (first lecture-free week)
  • The seminars will take place in Seminar Room III in the physics highrise


List of topics:

  • Phenomenology of proton-proton collisions at the LHC
  • Experimental Setup: LHC, ATLAS, CMS
  • Introduction to the Standard Model, the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism and phenomenology at the LHC:
    a) General introduction and QCD
    b) The electroweak sector and the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism

     b) couplings
  • Higgs boson differential distributions and interpretation in Effective Field Theories (EFT)
  • Introduction to Supersymmetry (SUSY) and searches in inclusive final states
  • Search for SUSY in exclusive final states
  • Search for physics beyond the Standard Model in Exotic models (including γγ resonances)
