- Spotting an invisible Higgs at the 7 TeV LHC
- Time: 4:00 pm
- Place: 5280 Chamberlin Hall
- Speaker: Jessie Shelton, Yale University
- Abstract: Simple extensions of the Standard Model -- for example, to accommodate dark matter -- can easily induce a dominant decay of a light Standard Model-like Higgs into invisible particles. I will discuss the reach of the 7 TeV LHC for an invisible Higgs. I will talk about three different search channels, and show prospects for 2012.
