Physics at the Terascale Helmholtz Gemeinschaft

Theorist of the Month

The "Theorist of the Month" is a concept installed in order to improve the exchange between theory and experiment and to strengthen the theory background of experimental Ph.D. students. The Theorist of the Month will spend about one week at DESY and in this time give one basic seminar on his/her research topic, be available for all kinds of theory questions and discussions, and at the end of his/her stay summarise the discussions and questions of the week.

Next "Theorist of the Month" is Francesco Hautmann (University of Oxford)

Francesco Hautmann stays at DESY from 17-21 June and can be found in room O2.332 (bldg. 1b, 2nd floor)
and he is available on phone 049-40-8998-4399.


Seminar:
Thursday, 20 June 2013, 4:00pm, SR4a
(coffee & tea served at 3:45pm)

Title: "QCD and LHC Physics"

Abstract: Investigations of scattering in the limit of large centre-of-mass energies have spurred great advances over the last decades in our understanding of theories of fundamental interactions. This talk focuses on LHC applications of ideas developed in the context of QCD high-energy scattering, and on their role to uncover new aspects of the Standard Model.
