›1st Mediterranean Conference on Higgs Physics (MCHP 2019)

In July 2012, the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC-CERN) reported the discovery of a new scalar boson, with 7 and 8 TeV center of mass energy, whose properties are compatible with those of the Standard Model Higgs boson.

The Higgs boson discovery acknowledged by the 2013 Nobel Prize in physics is a major success for the experiments at LHC. This Nobel Prize was awarded jointly to François Englert and Peter W. Higgs.

This discovery was consolidated by 13 TeV run and several Higgs measurement was scrutinized to an unprecedented precision and new measurements was performed. With the future LHC run with High luminosity, we expect improvement of all the aforementioned measurements and perform new ones. Another task of the future LHC run would be the discovery of the long-awaited new physics beyond Standard Model(SM) that should show up at the TeV scale.

The 1st Mediterranean Conference on Higgs Physics (MCHP) intends to foster discussion across all fields relevant to Higgs phenomenology, such as various extended Higgs sector, super-symmetric models, exotic particles, dark matter, model building, flavor physics and neutrino masses, LHC results and High Energy physics tools.

MCHP will bring together experts from the theoretical and experimental communities for a joint brainstorming on the status of this phenomenology, identify areas for improvements, as well as address a variety of open fundamental questions in particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology.

The topics that will be covered include:

Higgs properties
Theory and phenomenology of models with extended Higgs sector.
Higgs in Supersymmetric models
Higgs in extra-dimensions and composite models
Higgs and gravitational waves
Dark matter models
Neutrinos oscillations
Astroparticle and cosmology
HEP tools
