Garchinger Maier-Leibnitz-Kolloquium: The scattering of vector bosons in proton collisions and some future developments

by Prof. Pietro Govoni (Physics Department of Milano-Bicocca University, Italy)

Thursday Jun 23, 2022, 4:15 PM → 5:15 PM Europe/Berlin

Lecture Hall, ground floor (west) (LMU building Am Coulombwall 1, campus Garching)

The electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism lies at the heart of the standard model of the fundamental interactions, as it describes the mass of elementary particles and unitarises the scattering cross-section for vector bosons. Since the first confirmation with the discovery of the Higgs boson at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, this mechanism is undergoing precision tests. In this seminar, a study of vector boson scattering with the CMS detector will be presented, together with future prospects in view of the forthcoming LHC data.
