ABSTRACT: Having discovered the Higgs boson without obvious new particles at the Large Hadron Collider, precision study of the Higgs boson at a Higgs factory is the obvious strategy at the energy frontier. I will review basic motivation and various …

Abstract: Creating, manipulating and detecting coherent, entangled quantum states and isolating quantum systems from decoherence is at the heart of future quantum information science technologies. With the rise of novel instruments in quantum electronics, the coherent emission and control of …
ABSTRACT: The motions of galaxies on top of the Hubble expansion, peculiar velocities, are a probe of clustering and the growth of structure in the Universe. For distance indicators, peculiar velocities manifest themselves as residuals on the Hubble diagram. Ongoing …
Abstract: 40 years ago, Caves, Thorne, and their collaborators asked the question: what are the fundamental quantum limits on the measurement of a small position displacement? The answers to these conceptual questions led to the first direct detection of a …

Rakshya Khatiwada (Fermilab) "Hunting for Dark matter using quantum devices and sensors" Abstract: Very few mysteries in our current picture of the universe are bigger than the puzzle of dark matter. Recently the QCD axion -- a weakly interacting, sub-eV …

ABSTRACT: We are now approximately 3 months into the next Snowmass process and a plethora of ideas is starting to surface. Technical maturity of the proposed facilities ranges from shovel ready to those that are still largely conceptual. Developments in …

Abstract: The Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) concluded observations of the cosmic distance scale and the growth of structure in February, 2019. The three dimensional clustering in all samples from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) was used to …
Abstract: The prime energy producer in the sun is the fusion of hydrogen to form helium. However, there is more than one way for this fusion to take place: for stars the size of the sun or smaller, the proton-proton …
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 …
