Dear all,

Please find here the title/abstract of the talk on ""Discovery of
a new boson at the LHC - Higgs or an Imposter? and DU's contribution"

Venue: DSKL Hall
Date: 23rd July,'12
Time: 02:30 pm

Title: "Discovery of a new boson at the LHC - Higgs or an Imposter?
and DU's contribution"
Speaker: Kirti Ranjan, DU

Abstract
Signaling a likely end to one of the longest, most extensive searches
in the history of science, on 4th July 2012, the two major
experimental teams at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN
(Switzerland), the CMS and the ATLAS, independently announced the
formal discovery of a previously unknown boson of mass between 125–127
GeV/c2, whose behaviour so far is consistent with a Higgs boson.
Further data and analysis are needed before positively identifying the
new particle as being the Higgs boson. On 2nd July 2012, the two
Tevatron experiments at the Fermilab, USA, the DØ and the CDF, also
announced that the excesses is seen in the data around 115–140 GeV/c2.
Experimental High Energy Physics (EHEP) Group of the University of
Delhi (DU) has been contributing in the CMS experiment at the LHC and
the DØ experiment at the Tevatron since 1990s. DU EHEP Group has also
made significant contributions in the Higgs Searches, both at the LHC and
at the Tevatron . While highlighting the latest results on the Higgs boson
searches at these experiments this talk will also focus on the contribution
of DU EHEP Group in this major discovery.

Regards,
Kirti
