C03.00001: The Discovery of the Higgs Particle Invited Speaker: bradley Cox The Higgs particle discovery was announced by the CERN Director General on July 4$^{\mathrm{th}}$, 2012 in a world-wide video conference originating from CERN. This discovery culminated three years of intensive data taking and analysis by the CMS and Atlas experiments and completed, in some sense, the Standard Model. The observation of the Higgs validated the theoretical work done half a century before in 1964 by theoreticians Peter Higgs and Francis Englert with contributions by Gerry Guralnik, Thomas Kibble, and Richard Hagen. Higgs and Englert received the Nobel prize for the prediction of the existence of the Higgs particle and the development framework of how this object gives mass to all the SM particles. This talk is a snapshot of the state of the data and confidence in the result that the Atlas and CMS experimenters had in mid-summer 2012. It is hoped this will give some sense of the tension and concern associated with the announcement of such a monumental discovery. Later work over the last 7 years have produced a richness of Higgs results that will be discussed in subsequent talks and will give some sense of the limited data at the time of the discovery.

C03.00002: Recent Higgs Boson Physics Results from CMS Invited Speaker: Conor Henderson Recent physics results on the Higgs boson, obtained using the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, will be presented. We will survey the status of our knowledge of the Higgs boson since its discovery, and will discuss measurement of its mass, spin-parity, and coupling to other Standard Model particles. We will also explore attempts to measure the Higgs self-coupling through observation of Higgs boson pair production, and searches for more exotic Higgs scenarios. [Preview Abstract] |

C03.00003: Higgs Boson Physics at ATLAS Invited Speaker: Ashutosh Kotwal The discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC has answered one of the biggest open questions in particle physics, and created exciting new directions of research. In this presentation, I will summarize the importance of the Higgs boson discovery and the new set of open questions raised by this discovery. I will review the recent results in Higgs boson physics from the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. [Preview Abstract] |
