Andrea Gabrielli, Michele Papucci, Zoltan Ligeti (LBNL) "Highlights from Morion EW and QCD"
March 31, 2016 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Abstract:
A brief overview of the main highlights discussed at Moriond 2016 is presented, with particular focus on LHC results, neutrino and flavour physics. One of the main topic of the conference is the first look at the results from LHC after its first run of 13 TeV proton-proton collisions ended last year. The experimental data confirm the Standard Model expectation concerning the vector boson, top and Higgs production rates. Searches for new resonances decaying into two photons in the ATLAS and CMS experiments have shown that the most significant deviation from the background prediction is observed at a diphoton invariant mass around 750 GeV. At the same time, the negative searches for signals of new phenomena decaying into other final state tightly constrained many new-physics scenarios, challenging previous theoretical wisdom and opening new perspectives in fundamental physics.
