Higgs Days at Santander

Abstract

Santander is a Spanish port on the Bay of Biscay coast that next week (19-23 Sept, 2011) will host its fourth annual workshop on the Higgs Boson. This meeting will be very different in character from the huge summer conferences where exciting new results on searches for the Higgs boson were recently presented to thousands of physicists. One question has become very topical and has already surfaced at some of the larger Higgs workshops: Is it right to do quick approximate combinations of Higgs search data or do we need to wait for the lengthy process of producing the official combinations? I will discuss this issue here.
