Top Quark Physics Day

Monday 11 Aug 2014, 08:45 → 23:00 Europe/Berlin

Gudrun Heinrich (Max Planck Institute for Physics), Jan-Christopher Winter (Munich Max Planck Institute for Physics)

This is a short topical one-day workshop on top quark physics in the context of the MIAPP summer institute "Challenges, Innovations and Developments in Precision Calculations for the LHC" at TU Munich. In particular, issues related to precision measurements of top quark observables will be addressed, as well as New Physics effects in the top quark sector.
