Joint Theory Seminar
Speaker: Jamison Galloway
Title: Higgs Hunter's Digest
Host: John Terning
Room: 432
Abstract: I'll review 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, I'll discuss the benefits of constructing these generalized exclusions and describe some very general conclusions that they will help to illuminate with current and future data.
