Kendall Mahn (Michigan State University) “Results from T2K  and the current landscape of neutrino oscillation”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: Neutrinos are a tiny subatomic particle with surprising properties under active study. In particular, neutrinos oscillate, that is, they convert from one type of neutrino to another, is a surprising phenomenon under active study. The origin of neutrino mass …

Christian Bauer (LBNL) “Quantum computing for High Energy Physics”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT: I will review the Quantum Computing efforts in the Physics division, with the goal of allowing to calculate important properties of the Standard Model non-perturbatively and ultimately to simulate scattering at colliders from first principles. I will present several …

Laura Jeanty (Oregon) “Perspectives from Run 2: Status and Outlook for Supersymmetry Searches at the LHC”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT: The second run of the LHC, from 2015-2018, produced an unprecedented trove of data in which the ATLAS and CMS collaborations have been searching for evidence of new particles and new phenomena. Supersymmetry remains one of the most promising theories for new physics accessible at …

Caterina Vernieri (Stanford) “A “Cool” Route to Unveil the Higgs Boson’s Secrets”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT: The Higgs boson was discovered in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the world’s most powerful particle collider, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland. This particle plays a unique role in fundamental physics. It gives …

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 …

Emily Ann Thompson (DESY) “The Quest For Long-Lived Particles: Searching For Displaced Vertices and Tracking in the Trigger”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: The existence of long-lived particles (LLPs) is a common feature in many theories beyond the Standard Model. For example, models with small couplings (i.e. R-parity-violating supersymmetry) and models with compressed mass spectra (i.e. co-annihilating dark matter) predict the presence …

Dominique Trischuk (University of British Columbia) “Displaced Vertex Search for Heavy Neutral Leptons with the ATLAS Detector”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract:  This seminar will present recent results of a search for long-lived heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) in proton-protoncollisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is an extremely successful theory and its major predictions have …

Oliver H.E. Philcox (Princeton) ” Large Scale Structure Beyond the 2-Point Function”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: Quantum fluctuations in inflation provide the seeds for the large scale distribution of matter today. According to the standard paradigm, these fluctuations induce density perturbations that are Gaussian distributed. In this limit, all the information is contained within the …
