Hanna Herde (Brandeis U.) “Measuring the Mass of the Higgs Boson in the Four-Lepton Final State with the ATLAS Detector”

50B-4205

Abstract: The Higgs boson mass determines its couplings to every other known particle - and it is a free parameter of the Standard Model of Particle Physics.  Understanding the Higgs' connections with the rest of the universe requires measuring its mass experimentally. This talk presents the …

Zhi Zheng (U. Michigan) “Physics with the same-sign dilepton and multilepton events”

50B-4205

Abstract: Despite of the discovery of a Higgs-like particle in 2012, there are still many unanswered questions. Studying events with the same-sign dilepton and multilepton (SSML) may help to gain insight into those questions. In this presentation, I will give …

Marjon Moulai (MIT) “Unstable Sterile Neutrinos in IceCube and Beyond

HYBRID 50A-5132 (Sessler Conference Room), https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 50A-5132

Abstract: Long-standing anomalies in short-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments suggest the existence of a new particle: the sterile neutrino. Unlike other neutrinos, sterile neutrinos do not interact via the weak nuclear force. Global fits to experimental data find a significant preference …

Daniel Joseph Antrim (UCI) “It Takes Two to Lambda: A New Dilepton Channel for the Search for Higgs Boson Pairs and a Pair of New Small Wheels for the Upgrade of the ATLAS Detector at CERN”

INPA Common Room (50-5026) 50-5026

Abstract:  The rich program of study opened up by the discovery of a 125 GeV boson in 2012 so far leads us to consider this particle to be the Higgs boson as predicted by the Standard Model (SM) of particle …

Damian Goeldi (Carleton U) “Enhancing the Physics Reach of the DUNE far Detector”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: DUNE is a planned long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment measuring μ disappearance and e appearance in an accelerator μ beam (arXiv:1601.05471). Its primary goals are measuring CP violation in the lepton sector, determining the ordering of the three neutrino masses, and …

Special RPM | Gregor Kasieczka (Hamburg U) “Faster, Deeper, Stronger: Machines Learn Particle Physics

HYBRID 50A-5132 (Sessler Conference Room), https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 50A-5132

Abstract: Many experimental results from both particle and astrophysics hint that the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics cannot be a complete theory of Nature. However, in its first years of operation, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN was very …

Michal Zamkovsky (CERN) “New result on K+→π+vv ̅ from the NA62 experiment”

HYBRID 50A-5132 (Sessler Conference Room), https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 50A-5132

ABSTRACT: The decay K+→π+vv ̅, with a very precisely predicted branching ratio of less than 10exp(-10), is one of the best candidates to reveal indirect effects of new physics at the highest mass scales. The NA62 experiment at the CERN …

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 …
