Northwest Terascale Research Projects

New Physics from Heavy Quarks in Hadron Colliders

University of Washington

6-10 February 2012

The Northwest Terascale projects is a series of small informal workshops being jointly hosted by the particle theory and experimental groups at the Universities of Washington and Oregon. These are intended to be working meetings for interested experts, with a minimal number of formal talks, and most of the time spent on discussion and collaborative work towards improving the prospects for physics discoveries at the LHC.

This workshop will take place February 6-10, 2012. The focus of the workshop is on searches for physics beyond the standard model using mesons containing heavy quarks.

Previous workshops in this series have been

• Higgs @ Tevatron and LHC (UW, 26 - 30 April 2011).

• Emerging opportunities for the International Linear Collider (UO, 16 - 19 March 2011)

• Modeling the underlying event and minimum bias events (UO, 1 - 11 March 2011)

• Using jet substructure to find new physics at the LHC (UO, 31 January - 4 February 2011)

• The terascale at LHC 0.5 and Tevatron (UW, 7-11 June 2010)

• Jets and jet substructure at the LHC (UW, 11-15 January 2010)

• W + b quark physics at the LHC (UO, 14 - 16 September 2009)

• Unusual dark matter: theory, experiment, and the LHC (UO, 6 - 10 July 2009)

• Signatures of long-lived exotic particles at the LHC (UW, 4 - 8 May)

• Parton showers and event structure (UO, 23 - 27 February 2009)

• Determining the properties of the Higgs at the LHC (UW, 12 - 16 January, 2009)
