Description

Abstract:

The electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism lies at the heart of the standard model of the fundamental interactions, as it describes the mass of elementary particles and unitarises the scattering cross-section for vector bosons. Since the first confirmation with the discovery of the Higgs boson at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, this mechanism is undergoing precision tests. In this seminar, a study of vector boson scattering with the CMS detector will be presented, together with future prospects in view of the forthcoming LHC data.

The seminar will be held in the main conference hall in the building of the Institute of Physics, Na Slovance 2, Prague 8 on the ground floor.
