Abstract: There is an increasingly growing interest in Muon Collider in High Energy Physics community and Snowmass 2021. Considerable progresses have been made under the US Muon Accelerator Program (MAP) to target technical challenges associated with Muon Collider. The US …
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 …
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 …

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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …

Abstract: As the most recently-discovered particle of the Standard Model (SM), the Higgs boson plays a key role in the quest to deepen our understanding of fundamental physics. Measurements of its production cross-sections probe for disagreement with the SM that …
Abstract: Over the next few years, cutting-edge cosmological experiments such as DESI, Rubin and CMB-S4 will provide an exquisite probe of the accelerated expansion of the Universe, structure formation, and general relativity, and thus bring us closer to revealing the nature …
Abstract: With the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, high energy physics has entered an era in which all fundamental particles predicted by the Standard Model have been observed. With no conclusive observations of physics beyond the Standard Model, precision tests …
