SUMMARY:Michael Kagan (Stanford) "Exploring the TeV Energy Regime with Double Higgs Production at the LHC"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nThe discovery of the Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider provides a novel tool to search for signs of physics beyond the Standard Model at the LHC. The Higgs boson is central to two frontiers in high energy physics today: the fundamental understanding of the mechanism for Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and for the generation of particle masses\, and the exciting prospect of discovering new heavy TeV-scale particles interacting with the Higgs boson.  Such new particles are predicted in theories of physics beyond the Standard Model which may incorporate  additional symmetries or extra dimensions of space-time.   In this talk\, I will focus on how the search for di-Higgs boson production using the four bottom quark decay channel is central to probing both of these frontiers. I will discuss the critical developments in bottom quark identification that have enabled such searches for the first time.  I will also discuss key advancements in high performance silicon pixel detectors and in new pattern recognition techniques inspired by cutting-edge machine learning and computer vision methods that are extending the future discovery potential at the LHC.
