Nordic research and training network ”Discovery Physics at the LHC” Paula Eerola Science Today – Women Talking Physics Uppsala
Paula Eerola Science Today – Women Talking Physics Uppsala Introduction This particle physics network explores the physics discovery potential at the Large Hadron Collider, LHC. The aim is to pull together Nordic particle physicists, theorists and experimentalists, to seek new physics ideas, and to study the experimental signatures of new physics.
Paula Eerola Science Today – Women Talking Physics Uppsala LHC Physics LHC is the main particle physics commitment in the Nordic countries for the next decade The high energy and luminosity of LHC offers unprecedented physics opportunities: exploration of the high energy frontier, and precise measurements of heavy quarks, W/Z etc.
Paula Eerola Science Today – Women Talking Physics Uppsala New physics is bound to appear in the 1 TeV energy scale: New Physics One or several Higgs bosons, observable at LHC below about 1 TeV. Supersymmetry: supersymmetric particles Extra dimensions
Paula Eerola Science Today – Women Talking Physics Uppsala The Nordic Context Particle physics research groups are typically small use network to create centers-of- excellence with both experimental and theoretical competence Concentrate resources for supervision and training of research students and young researchers Exploitation of LHC data: improve readiness for LHC data analysis in the highly competitive world-wide physics community
Paula Eerola Science Today – Women Talking Physics Uppsala The Network Programme SUSY scenarios: investigation of new decays Extra dimensions and other new models Higgs sector CP violation in B decays, rare B decays, top decays,... NorFA supports the network for Work proceeds in the working groups: Network workshops twice a year, training courses for students
