Re: A Talk by Yuri Gershtein at BU

Hi,

I wanted to announce another talk at BU by Yuri Gershtein.

Yuri will be visiting us from Rutgers University.

Here is the abstract of his talk:

Squeezing blood from stone: multivariate methods for higgs search in 
di-photons at CMS.

I'll describe the results of a search for the light higgs boson decaying 
into photon pairs 
using the data CMS experiment collected in 2011 LHC run. Although a search 
for a narrow
resonance may seem straightforward, it turns out that kinematical and 
instrumental effects
introduce significant complications. To deal with them, CMS collaboration 
has developed 
several novel multi-variate methods that I will discuss in detail.

Time: Monday, Tuesday 26th of March, 12: 30 .

Room 595.


Best,
Siavosh
