Abstract: We live in a matter dominated world, so where did all the antimatter go? The Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) experiment in Japan is trying to detect charge-parity violation (CPV) in neutrino oscillation, which could help explain this phenomenon. As the successor …

ABSTRACT: Conventional methods for searching for new physics at the LHC have mostly been "top-down": starting from a specific model, searches are designed and optimized to have the best sensitivity to that model. Despite hundreds of conventional new physics searches …

Abstract: High-energy frontier in particle physics is going to enter into an era of precision studies after Run 3 at the LHC, with the increase of proton luminosity and upgraded detectors. This will pose a significant challenge to the event …

Abstract: SPT-3G is a third-generation camera for the 10-meter diameter South Pole Telescope (SPT), which is designed to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB). To achieve a high mapping speed, we have developed a new multichroic receiver with a total …

Abstract: Measurements of the universe's present-day expansion rate, or the Hubble constant (H0), that use a Cepheid variable star calibration of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are in >4σ disagreement with values predicted by the standard, Lambda cold dark matter …
