The Higgs Boson as the Gateway to New Physics

Abstract: The recent experimental results on the Higgs boson, while coming as confirmation of the standard electroweak theory, also encounter us with the potential of indicating new physics at the fundamental level hidden therein. Some recent efforts in this direction will be discussed in this talk, both emphasizing a model-independent approach and in the context of a specific scenario.

Seminar: How to utilize new CSC computing resources in your research
———————————————————————–
Monday, 26.05.2014, at 10 a.m.

Room Kvantti (Physicum C208), Kumpula campus, University of Helsinki, Gustaf Hällströmin katu 2a, Helsinki.

The 2nd phase of the CSC’s supercomputer (Sisu) and supercluster
(Taito) expected to be available for the researchers in Summer/Autumn
2014, are opening new possibilities for Finnish researchers – they will
increase the available computing capacity 5-fold.

Moreover, the activities of CSC have expanded during the last few years
from supercomputing to several new fields, like data management and cloud computing.

The CSC resources and services available to researchers will be presented, so that they can benefit from them from day 1. CSC will also collect feedback for configuring the systems according to the researchers’ needs.
