Compact HEIDI at the LHC - Investigating new Physics with WHIZARD
Dr. Christian Speckner (Universität Freiburg)


Although it is quite likely that nature has something new in store for us below the TeV scale (even if it might only be the Higgs boson), it is less obvious whether this new piece of phyics would be visible at the LHC. As an example of a potentially very elusive piece of new physics, I will present a slightly unorthodox but simple extension of the standard model Higgs sector and a small study of its collider phenomenology using the Monte Carlo package WHIZARD.
