Richard Bonventre (LBNL) “Searching for Muon to Electron Conversion: The Mu2e Experiment at Fermilab”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract:   The Mu2e experiment will search for the charged lepton flavor violating (CLFV) neutrino-less conversion of a negative muon into an electron in the field of a nucleus, reaching a 90% C.L. limit of 8x10^-17 on the conversion rate. …

Tom Melia (Kavli IPMU – Japan)“ ‘CMB-ing’ the Search for New Physics at Colliders”

70A-3377 70A-3377

Abstract: The effect of dark matter and dark energy in the universe can be inferred through measurements of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The quantum effect of new physics on collisions at the Large Hadron Collider can be …

Keisuke Harigaya (IAS) “ Physics beyond the standard model from Higgs Parity”

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

Abstract: The discovery of the Higgs boson has revealed that the quartic Higgs self-coupling becomes small at very high energy scales. Guided by this observation, I introduce Higgs Parity, which is a spontaneously broken symmetry exchanging the standard model Higgs …

Daniel Ruterbories (Rochester U) “Electroweak Probes of the Nucleus and the Era of Precision Neutrino Physics”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT: Neutrino oscillation experiments such as NOvA and T2K search for the disappearance and appearance of muon and electron flavor neutrinos in a predominately muon-type beam. These experiments are currently measuring the oscillation parameters to greater precision but will not …

Christopher Marshall (LBNL) “The Dawn of DUNE: Neutrino Oscillations in the Precision Era”

50-Auditorium

ABSTRACT: Neutrino oscillation is a well-established phenomenon. Over the past two decades, nearly all of the parameters governing these oscillations have been measured experimentally, using neutrinos from the atmosphere, the sun, nuclear reactors, and particle accelerators. The remaining unknowns have …

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 …
