Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2019,

"The first runs of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment just finished. The LHC was successful in discovering a particle compatible with the Higgs boson of the Standard Model (SM). However expectations to discover New Physics have not been met so far.In order to establish whether the new resonance is the SM Higgs boson, or not, precise measurements of its properties are mandatory. These requi ...

Hot and dense QCD in the LHC era (HOTLHC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

QCD, the theory of strong interactions, has been defined as our most perfect physical theory, in part because its compact and apparently simple Lagrangian hides a plethora of emerging phenomena. The aim of the present project is to make the essential contributions to fully exploit the new possibilities of the Large Hadron Collider to characterise unexplored domains of QCD.Three main working plans ...
