Workshop on Photon Physics at the LHC

18 mai 2015, 12:45 → 19 mai 2015, 14:00 Europe/Paris

Amphitheatre de recherche George Charpak (LPNHE)

A two-day workshop on photon physics at the LHC will be held in May 2015 in Paris, inside the campus of Université Pierre et Marie Curie.
The workshop will focus on the experimental issues of photon reconstruction, the measurements, discoveries or searches of Standard Model and beyond-Standard Model processes in proton collisions producing photons in the final state, and comparisons with the main theoretical predictions.

The workshop is organised with the financial support of ILP (Institute Lagrange de Paris), FRIF (Fédération de recherche : interactions fondamentales), LPNHE (Laboratoire de Physique Nucleaire de Hautes Energies) and UNIMI (Università degli studi di Milano).
