Higgs Boson Hunt at the LHC
Professor Markus Klute
Mon Jan 30, 01:30-02:30pm, 6-120

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)

After decades of preparation, the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are taking first steps toward resolving many long-standing puzzles in particle physics. The expectations for an early discovery of new physics were high. In the first 1/fb no evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model was found. This talk summarizes the current experimental status of and strategies used by the CMS Collaboration in the search for new physics, with an emphasis on the search for a Higgs boson.
