HEP Seminar: Nicholas Smith: "Boosted Higgs and Effective Field Theory"

When: Monday, January 23, 2023
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM CT

Where: Technological Institute, F160, 2145 Sheridan Road, Evanston, IL 60208 map it

Audience: Faculty/Staff - Student - Post Docs/Docs - Graduate Students

Contact: Joan West   (847) 491-3645

Group: Physics and Astronomy High Energy Physics Seminars

Category: Academic

Description:

Recent developments in jet substructure allow novel measurements of Higgs boson production at high transverse momentum. I will discuss these measurements, performed by CMS, and how they can be effective indirect probes of new physics through the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) formalism. I will then present prospects for global combinations within SMEFT, and the computational tools being developed to enable them.

Speaker: Nicholas Smith, Postdoctoral Research Associate, Fermilab

Host: Michael Schmitt
