Welcome to HPNP2015

The 2nd Toyama International Workshop on
"Higgs as a Probe of New Physics 2015" (HPNP2015)
will be hosted by the University of Toyama.
The workshop will be held from 11.-15. February 2015 on
Gofuku Campus of the University of Toyama, Toyama, Japan

On 4th July 2012, the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) reported
the discovery of a new particle consistent with the Higgs boson,
which is the origin of mass in our world as well as a window to physics at the terascale.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together Higgs hunters from around the world to discuss
the relation between Higgs physics and models beyond the Standard Model.
