Theory/Phenomenology Seminar
Extending the Higgs Effective Theory
Date: Friday, October 16th
Time: 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Place: 5280 Chamberlin Hall
Speaker: Duff Neill, Carnegie Mellon University
Abstract: For the LHC and Tevatron the Higgs Effective Theory from integrating out
the top quark has done a remarkable job with only the leading operator HFF
as the basis for calculating the higgs production rates. But for certain
observables the effective operator approximation can begin to break down.
Either one can just calculate in the full theory, or extend the effective
theory with higher dimensional operators. I will give reasons for pursuing
the latter course, and results using this extended effective theory for
calculating the higgs' pt spectrum.
Host: F. Petriello
