Wednesday 23 Feb. 2011 Speaker: Dieter Zeppendfeld (Karlsruhe University) Title: "Higgs physics at the LHC". Abstract: After discussing the goals of Higgs searches at the LHC and the principal search channels, QCD corrections to some of the signal and background processes will be presented, with a focus on the weak boson fusion process. The VBFNLO package provides many of these corrections with many new features in an upcoming release.
