Moriond QCD 2013 Experimental Summary

TL;DR

The Moriond 2013 QCD conference showcased new experimental results across particle physics, including Higgs boson properties, QCD, electroweak interactions, heavy quark studies, and searches for new physics, marking a significant milestone post-Higgs discovery.

Contribution

This paper summarizes the key experimental highlights from Moriond 2013 QCD, emphasizing new results in Higgs physics and beyond Standard Model searches.

Findings

Higgs-like particle properties align with the Standard Model Higgs boson

New results in QCD, electroweak, and heavy quark physics

Extensive searches for physics beyond the Standard Model

Abstract

The article presents experimental highlights of Moriond 2013 QCD conference. This was fantastic conference and the first Moriond QCD since the discovery of the Higgs boson. Many new results about its properties have been presented at the conference with Higgs-like particle becoming a Higgs as it properties match expected for the Higgs boson pretty well. There were many new results presented in all experimental areas including QCD, elecroweak, studies of the top, bottom and charm quarks, searches for physics beyond Standard Model as well as studies of the heavy ion collisions. 56 experimental talks have been presented at the conference and it is impossible to cover each result in the summary, so highlights are limited to what I was able to present in my summary talk presented on March 16 2013. The proceedings of the conference cover in depth all talks presented and I urge you to get familiar with all of them. Theoretical Summary of the conference was given by Michelangelo Mangano, so theory talks are not covered in the article.
