Implications of LHC Higgs search results for Supersymmetry
The two LHC experiments, ATLAS and CMS, have both presented results hinting at a Higgs boson with Standard Model properties being present at a mass of 125 GeV - in the range predicted by weak scale supersymmetry. Taking this hint seriously, we investigate the implications of such a (still hypothetical) Higgs signal for supersymmetric models. We also discuss the phenomenological consequences for Higgs and supersymmetry searches at the LHC, and how to use precision test to probe the models at a future linear collider.
ALMA: the first year of science operations
The Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) is a major new interferometer in the northern Atacama desert. ALMA is a partnership between North America, Europe, and East Asia in cooperation with the Republic of Chile. We are currently in the first year of science observations using a partial array.
