Results from CERN presented at ICHEP
Geneva, 7 July 2014. Speaking at press conference held during the 37th International Conference on High Energy Physics, ICHEP, in Valencia, Spain this morning CERN Director General Rolf Heuer gave a resume of results from CERN that are being presented. The conference, which began last Thursday with three days of parallel sessions, now moves on to plenary sessions until Wednesday, summing up the current state of the art in the field. The plenary sessions will be webcast. "Two years on from the last ICHEP conference, during which the discovery of the messenger of the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism, a Higgs boson, was announced, this topic is still a strong focus of the presentations from CERN," said Professor Heuer. "But for me, the main message I'm taking away from this conference is that there's a lot at stake for the LHC's second run starting next year, and the experiments are all ready to exploit the full potential that higher-energy running brings." All four LHC experiments presented new results from the LHC's first run, which concluded in 2013. For ATLAS and CMS, the run-1 Brout-Englert-Higgs (BEH) analyses are reaching a conclusion.
