Federico Meloni (DESY) Hunting Wino and Higgsino Dark Matter at the Muon Collider

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: Events containing disappearing tracks originating from the decay of a heavy and electrically charged long-lived particle to a pair of undetectable particles are key to the discovery of compelling minimal dark matter models at collider experiments. This talk will …

Timon Heim (LBNL) “Moving from the Prototyping to the Production Phase for the Inner Tracker Upgrade of the ATLAS Detector”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: As part of the Phase 2 upgrade of the ATLAS detector to ready it for operation at the High-Luminosity LHC the inner tracking system will be replaced by an all silicon Inner Tracker (ITk). The Pixel and Strip system …

Louise Skinnari (Northeastern)   Track-triggering at CMS for the High-Luminosity LHC  

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

​Abstract:  ​The high luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), scheduled for 2025-2027, will significantly increase the instantaneous luminosity of the LHC collisions. The resulting large proton-proton collision datasets will allow precise measurements of Higgs​ boson​ properties, searches for …

Jamie Boyd (CERN)  The FASER Experiment at the CERN LHC: Looking Forward to New Physics

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: The Forward Search Experiment (FASER) is the newest experiment at the LHC, approved in 2019 and recently installed into the CERN LHC complex. It is a small and inexpensive experiment placed 500 meters downstream of the ATLAS interaction point. …

Alberto Lusiani (INFN)  “Muon magnetic anomaly measurement to 0.46 ppm at FNAL”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT:   The Dirac equation predicted that the g-factor of spin 1/2 particles be 2, but in 1948 Julian Schwinger calculated that quantum electrodynamics (QED) fluctuations increase the electron and muon g-factor such that the anomaly a_(μ) = (g_(μ) − 2)/2 = α/2π at first order. …

Martin Savage (University of Washington) “Quantum Simulations for HEP and NP”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: Theoretical predictions of the properties and dynamics of quantum many-body systems of importance to  High-energy and nuclear physics research are anticipated to require, in many instances, beyond classical computational resources.  Such systems may be amenable to quantum simulations in …

Taylor Hoyt (University of Chicago) “Using Astrophysical Distance Indicators to Test Standard Cosmology”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

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 …
