Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The major issue and the forefront research activity in particle physics today is the exploration of the mechanism that generates the elementary particle masses. In the Standard Model that describes three of the four basic forces in nature - the electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions - this fundamental mechanism leads to the existence of a new type of particle, the Higgs boson, which has escaped detection so far. The discovery of this particle, which will have a paramount importance and far-reaching implications, is the major goal of the CERN Large Hadron Collider which recently started operation after 20 years of preparation. The observation of the Higgs boson at the LHC and the determination of its fundamental properties will be the essential issue addressed by the present research project. A comprehensive investigation of the various Higgs boson detection channels at the LHC, production mechanisms and decay modes, as well as the major sources of backgrounds will be performed in a way that is as close as possible to the experimental conditions. Precise theoretical predictions, including higher order quantum effects, will be provided and the associated uncertainties will be assessed. The implications of observing the Higgs particle for the Standard Model and for new physics beyond it, such as supersymmetric theories and models with extra space-time dimensions, will be investigated in detail. Besides the Principal Investigator who will devote 80% of his time on the project, the research team will be formed by theoretical physicists from three laboratories in the Paris area, LPT Orsay, LPTHE Jussieu and IPhT Saclay, as well as a staff member of the CERN Theory Unit. This group will be completed by the six postdoctoral fellows and two PhD students that will be appointed. The duration of the project, five years, will crucially coincide with the period in which the LHC is expected to make major breakthroughs in the field under investigation.'
