Phenomenology of heavy quarks at the LHC

[stefano....@googlemail.com]

Luca Panizzi has expressed interest in giving a one-week course on the above, most probably in June. Please approach him if you wish to take up the offer and to fine tune dates.

Indeed I can propose a course on heavy quarks. It can be done in three hours at most:

- the first one, at the blackboard, to discuss how to extend the SM with the addition of new quark representations and discussing consequences on couplings, mixings and so on
- the second one, with slides, to discuss constraints and basic LHC phenomenology, i.e. overview of mechanisms of production and decays, signatures and experimental searches
- the second one, with slides, to discuss strategies for model-independent analyses of processes of pair and single production of heavy quarks at the LHC

May this suit a mini-course?

Hi Luca, I think it would suit a mini-course, indeed. Given that LHC data seem to exclude a 4th SM-like generation of heavy quarks, I think it is vital to gain some theoretical and experimental perspective on which direction to go. So I think your proposal is very timely and I so encourage the students to take it foward. S.

Hi Luca, 

I am interested in attending this course. I am generally free anytime after the 8th July.

cheers,

Dear all,

following Francesco's example I am setting up a poll to decide when to do the mini-course on vector-like quarks phenomenology. Due to the fact that in July most of the people are away for schools and conferences and that at the end of August there will be BUSSTEPP, I have chosen few days in August and most of Semptember as possible dates. The mini-course would be three hours that we can divide in three days or two days, depending on availability.

The link to the poll is the following:

Dear all, the mini-course on the phenomenology of heavy quarks at the LHC will be held next week on Thursday (11-12) and Friday (11-13) in room 4121 of the physics building.

Best,
Luca

Hi Luca,

I'd like to sign up for course and will attend it on Thursday and Friday this week.

cheers,

Hi Lucca,
I am going to attend the course on phenomenology of heavy quarks at the LHC.
Thanks
