Detecting the Unexpected

Date:	Nov. 16-17, 2007
Location:	University of California Davis
Building:	Buehler Alumni & Visitors Center

Abstract:

There are a number of well-defined proposals for physics beyond the standard model that generate LHC signals that are significantly different from what is usually discussed (e.g. “unparticle” physics, “hidden valley models”, heavy stable particles, “quirks”,…). The idea behind the workshop is to get theorists and experimentalists together to discuss these ideas and what search strategies could be employed for these and other “unexpected” new physics at LHC.
