SUMMARY:Jamie Boyd (CERN)    The FASER Experiment at the CERN LHC: Looking Forward to New Physics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe 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. FASER is designed to capture decays of exotic particles\, produced in the very forward region\, out of the ATLAS detector acceptance. In addition\, FASERnu\, a FASER sub-detector\, is designed to detect collider neutrinos for the first time and study their properties. This seminar will present the physics prospects\, the detector design\, and the construction and installation progress of FASER.\n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/ \nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 \nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,91782268585# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,91782268585# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/abeLb1T4q1 \nJoin by SIP\n91782268585@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Alberto Lusiani (INFN)    "Muon magnetic anomaly measurement to 0.46 ppm at FNAL"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: \n \nThe 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. Since then\, many theorists have estimated an increasingly larger amount of Standard Model contributions to a_(μ)\, and in 2020 an international collaboration of theoretical and experimental physicists (Muon g-2 Theory Initiative) has published a Standard-Model-based prediction of a_(μ) with a 0.37 ppm precision\, using the available information and calculations. The theory prediction uncertainty is dominated by the hadronic contributions\, which have been primarily estimated using measurements of hadronic processes with dispersive techniques. \nThe muon magnetic anomaly a_(μ) = (g_(μ) − 2)/2 has been measured since 1959 at CERN\, and the current 0.54 ppm precision world average has been published in 2006\, using data collected at BNL in the years 1997-2001. \nWhile the electron magnetic anomaly is measured and predicted with about three orders of magnitude better precision\, the muon magnetic moment test of the Standard Model is more sensitive to hadronic effects and to most hypothetical New Physics contributions because the muon mass is about 200 times larger than the electron one. The sensitivity of the muon anomaly measurement extends to many New Physics effects that are searched in high energy experiments. \nAfter a 3-years long analysis of data collected in 2018 at FNAL\, the Muon g-2 collaboration has completed a measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly with a slightly improved precision of 0.46 ppm. The updated world average has a precision of 0.35 ppm and differs from the theory prediction by 4.2 standard deviations. We describe how the measurement has been performed by measuring the muon precession frequency is a storage ring and the magnetic field experienced by the muons and how the new world average has been computed. The precession frequency measurement dominates the uncertainty and has been completed by 6 independent groups with 4 different methods\, obtaining consistent results. The data analysis has been performed in a blind way with a\nspecial care for the internal consistency and the estimation of systematic biases and uncertainties. \nThe Muon g-2 collaboration aims at reducing the statistical uncertainty by a factor 2 in about 18 months from now\, using data already collected\, and eventually aims at collecting a total of about 20 times the statistics of the BNL data\, to reach an ultimate precision of 0.14 ppm (0.10 statistical and 0.10 systematic).\n \nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/\n\nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95906405235\n\nMeeting ID: 959 0640 5235\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,95906405235# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,95906405235# US (Houston)\n\nDial by your location\n +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n +1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n +1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 959 0640 5235\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/a9dnGtb5T\n\nJoin by SIP\n95906405235@zoomcrc.com\n\nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 959 0640 5235\n\n──────────\n\n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/ \nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95906405235 \nMeeting ID: 959 0640 5235\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,95906405235# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,95906405235# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 959 0640 5235\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/a9dnGtb5T \nJoin by SIP\n95906405235@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 959 0640 5235 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Michael Peskin (SLAC) " A Gamma-Gamma Collider for Multi-10-TeV Physics"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTACT: \nIt is time to start thinking about the next-next generation of colliders\, that is\, colliders that access the multi-10-TeV region of parton center of mass energies. The discussion has already begun with consideration of FCC-hh and muon colliders\, but those technologies are not here yet\, and there is room for additional proposals. One that is interesting to me is plasma wakefield acceleration of electrons and conversion to a gamma-gamma collider. In this talk\, I will discuss possible schemes for this\, and technical and physics questions for the proposal that need to be addressed. \n\n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/ \nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 \nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,91782268585# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,91782268585# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/abeLb1T4q1 \nJoin by SIP\n91782268585@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Martin Savage (University of Washington) "Quantum Simulations for HEP and NP"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nTheoretical 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 the future\, and the very first steps are now being taken towards these objectives.

SUMMARY:Xiaosheng Huang (USF) "Strong Gravitational Lenses Discovered in the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:We have discovered over 1500 new strong lensing candidates in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Legacy Imaging Surveys using residual neural networks.  The photometric redshifts of the candidate lenses are broadly distributed between 0.1 and 1.  Follow-up observations are underway.  Our Hubble Space Telescope SNAP program has confirmed all 47 of the candidates observed so far and our DESI Secondary Targets program for Year 1 will likely observe ∼400 candidate systems.  This sample will enable unprecedented tests of the cold dark matter model\, e.g.\, by measuring the redshift evolution of the dark matter concentration and density profile slope.  Furthermore\, based on DESI spectra\, an optimal set of systems can be selected for a targeted search for multiply-lensed supernovae\, which can be used to determine the Hubble constant.  Both objectives are highly complementary to the science goals of the DESI experiment. \n\n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/ \nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 \nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,91782268585# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,91782268585# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/abeLb1T4q1 \nJoin by SIP\n91782268585@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Valerie Domcke (CERN) "Cosmology with Axion-Like Particles"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\n\nAxion-like particles may play a key role in early universe cosmology. They are naturally equipped with the right properties to explain cosmic inflation\, can dynamically explain the smallness of the electroweak scale\, may be involved in the generation of the matter antimatter asymmetry and are promising dark matter candidates. In this talk I discuss a generic but previously overlooked particle particle production mechanism\, resulting in the dual production of gauge fields and fermions induced by axion-like particles. I will discuss how this crucially impacts all of the cosmological scenarios mentioned above and may be probed with upcoming gravitational wave detectors.\n\n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/ \nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95906405235 \nMeeting ID: 959 0640 5235\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,95906405235# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,95906405235# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 959 0640 5235\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/a9dnGtb5T \nJoin by SIP\n95906405235@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 959 0640 5235 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Mike Williams (MIT)   Searching for physics beyond the Standard Model at the LHCb experiment
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  \nThe LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has been the world’s premier laboratory for studying processes in which the quark types (or flavors) change since 2011. Such processes are highly sensitive to quantum-mechanical contributions from as-yet-unknown particles\, e.g. supersymmetric particles\, even those that are too massive to produce at the LHC. I will discuss the status of these searches\, including some intriguing anomalies. I will also present searches for the proposed dark matter analogs of the photon and the Higgs boson. Planned future upgrades and the resulting physics prospects will also be discussed\, including our plans to process the full 5 terabytes per second of LHCb data in real time in the next LHC run. \nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/ \nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 \nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,91782268585# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,91782268585# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/abeLb1T4q1 \nJoin by SIP\n91782268585@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Pedro Ochoa-Ricoux (UCI) "JUNO: a 20 kton Multi-Purpose Observatory for Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a multi-purpose neutrino detector under construction in China. With a 20 kton neutrino target\, and an energy resolution of 3% at 1 MeV\, it will be the largest and most precise liquid scintillator detector ever constructed. By studying the disappearance of antineutrinos emitted from 8 nuclear reactors at a strategic baseline of about 53~km\, JUNO will determine the neutrino mass ordering to ~3σ significance within 6 years of running and will measure 3 neutrino oscillation parameters to sub-percent precision. JUNO will also study neutrinos from a variety of natural sources\, such as the Earth\, the Sun\, and supernova explosions\, and will deploy a satellite detector called JUNO-TAO that will measure the energy spectrum of reactor antineutrinos with unprecedented precision. The experiment is currently under construction\, and completion is expected by 2022. JUNO’s physics prospects will be discussed in this talk alongside its ambitious design and current status. \n\n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/\n\nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 \nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,91782268585# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,91782268585# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/abeLb1T4q1 \nJoin by SIP\n91782268585@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Anna Porredon (Ohio State University) "Dark Energy Survey Year 3 Results from Galaxy Clustering and Weak Lensing"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: \n\nThe cosmological information extracted from photometric surveys is more robust when multiple probes of the large-scale structure of the universe are used. Two of the most sensitive probes are galaxy clustering and weak lensing. I will present cosmological results from the Dark Energy Survey first three years of observations combining those two probes\, using an optimized lens sample of 11 million galaxies for the clustering measurements. The shear catalog used for weak lensing contains more than 100 million galaxies\, constituting the largest dataset to date of this kind. I will show how we optimized the selection of this lens sample in terms of the forecasted cosmological constraints. Last\, I will explain how we validated the analysis to deliver robust cosmological constraints.\n\n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/ \nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 \nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,91782268585# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,91782268585# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/abeLb1T4q1 \nJoin by SIP\n91782268585@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Anya Butter (Heidelberg University) "Big Data Techniques for Precision Simulations and Optimal Observables"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nOver the next years\, measurements at the LHC and the HL-LHC will provide us with a wealth of data. The best hope of answering fundamental questions like the nature of dark matter\, is to adopt big data techniques in simulations and analyses to extract all relevant information.\nOn the theory side\, LHC physics crucially relies on our ability to simulate events efficiently from first principles. In the coming LHC runs\, these simulations will face unprecedented precision requirements to match the experimental accuracy. Innovative ML techniques like generative models can help us overcome limitations from the high dimensionality of the parameter space. Such networks can be employed within established simulation tools or as part of a new framework.\n\nAt the analysis level\, machine learning methods have already shown impressive performance boosts for instance in top tagging and jet calibration. While neural networks offer an attractive way to numerically encode functions\, actual formulas remain the language of theoretical particle physics. Symbolic regression trained on matrix-element information provides optimal LHC observables in an easily interpretable form.\n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/\n\nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 \nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,91782268585# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,91782268585# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/abeLb1T4q1 \nJoin by SIP\n91782268585@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585 \n──────────\nTalk Recording Link:\nAnja Butter (Heidelburg U.)

SUMMARY:Nedaa Alexandra Asbah (Harvard) "Evidence of the Four-Top-Quark Production at the LHC"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: \nA summary of the latest results on the evidence of the four-top-quark production using proton-proton collision data at a centre of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1. Events are selected if they contain a same-sign lepton (electron or a muon) pair or at least three leptons (2lSS/3l) or a single lepton or an opposite-sign lepton pair (1l/2lOS). A multivariate technique is used to discriminate between signal and background events in the signal rich regions. \nThe combined four top-quark production cross section is measured to be 24 +7/−6 fb\, with a corresponding observed (expected) signal significance of 4.7 (2.6) standard deviations over the background-only\npredictions. It is consistent within 2.0 standard deviations with the Standard Model expectation of 12.0 ± 2.4 fb. \nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/ \nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 \nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,91782268585# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,91782268585# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/abeLb1T4q1 \nJoin by SIP\n91782268585@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585 \n────────── \nTalk Recording Link: \nNedaa Alexandra Asbah (Harvard) Talk

SUMMARY:Kendall Mahn (Michigan State University) "Results from T2K  and the current landscape of neutrino oscillation"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  \nNeutrinos 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 is important for astrophysics\, cosmology and particle physics\, and many open questions surrounding neutrino oscillation exist. The Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) neutrino oscillation experiment sends a beam of muon flavor neutrinos or antineutrinos 295km across Japan. This seminar will discuss the state of the field of neutrino oscillation physics\, including recent results from T2K\, and T2K’s exciting future program. \n\n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/\n\nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 \nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,91782268585# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,91782268585# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/abeLb1T4q1 \nJoin by SIP\n91782268585@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585 \n────────── \n  \nTalk Video Recording: \nKendall Mahn (Michigan State University) Talk

SUMMARY:Laura Jeanty (Oregon) "Perspectives from Run 2: Status and Outlook for Supersymmetry Searches at the LHC"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nThe 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 the LHC which could address outstanding questions in particle physics\, from why the Higgs Boson has the mass that it does to the particle nature of dark matter. As beam returns now to the LHC for the first time since 2018 and the start of Run 3 is around the corner\, this talk will take a moment to summarize the status of searches for supersymmetry by the ATLAS and CMS experiments. The talk will highlight the Run 2 perspective on supersymmetry\, with a focus on the experimental constraints\, and will discuss some of the well-motivated ways in which it could have evaded detection thus far. The talk will conclude with an outlook for future searches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/\n\nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 \nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,91782268585# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,91782268585# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/abeLb1T4q1 \nJoin by SIP\n91782268585@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Caterina Vernieri (Stanford) "A "Cool" Route to Unveil the Higgs Boson’s Secrets"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nThe 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 all of the known elementary particles\, including itself\, their masses. While we now have a strong evidence that the Higgs field is indeed the unique source of mass for the known elementary particles\, the next step is to search for new interactions that could also explain why the Higgs field has the properties required by the Standard Model of particle physics.  We have no clear roadmap to this new theory but the Higgs boson plays a crucial role in this quest. This talk highlights the current experimental results of Higgs boson couplings to other particles and its self-coupling at the LHC and perspectives at future colliders. The goal of a next-generation collider is to carry out precision measurements to per-cent level of the Higgs boson properties that are not accessible at the LHC. The exploitation of the complementarity between LHC and future colliders will be the key to understanding fundamentally the Higgs boson. The Cool Copper Collider (C^3) is a new concept for linear e+e- collider that could provide a rapid route to precision Higgs physics with a compact footprint.\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/If you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95906405235 \nMeeting ID: 959 0640 5235\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,95906405235# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,95906405235# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 959 0640 5235\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/a9dnGtb5T \nJoin by SIP\n95906405235@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 959 0640 5235 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Emily Ann Thompson (DESY) "The Quest For Long-Lived Particles: Searching For Displaced Vertices and Tracking in the Trigger"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe 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 of LLPs. With lifetimes ranging from picoseconds to nanoseconds\, massive LLPs could decay to several electrically charged particles in the inner tracking volume of the ATLAS detector\, resulting in the reconstruction of a displaced secondary vertex. Integrating tracking information into the trigger at an early stage is critical to enhancing the sensitivity of future searches for LLPs with displaced track signatures. The ATLAS Fast TracKer (FTK) aimed to achieve this by performing global\, hardware-based track finding at a trigger rate of 100 kHz. \nIn this talk\, searches for new long-lived massive particles leaving a displaced vertex signature in the ATLAS inner detector with the full Run-2 dataset are presented. Furthermore\, the FTK system is presented and its application to LLP searches is discussed. \n  \n  \n\n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/ \nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/92777524053?pwd=Z1JFbVhtZE9jMW1DcnJrd0svU1A4UT09 \nMeeting ID: 927 7752 4053\nPasscode: 509215\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,92777524053#\,\,\,\,*509215# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,92777524053#\,\,\,\,*509215# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 927 7752 4053\nPasscode: 509215\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/aeM3Tnxfb \nJoin by SIP\n92777524053@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 927 7752 4053\nPasscode: 509215 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Dominique Trischuk (University of British Columbia) "Displaced Vertex Search for Heavy Neutral Leptons with the ATLAS Detector"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  \nThis 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 been precisely confirmed. However\, the existence of neutrinos\, with small nonzero masses\, provides evidence that the SM is incomplete. Introducing HNLs into the SM is a natural wayto generate the light neutrino masses through a seesaw mechanism. This search uses 139 fb -1 of ATLAS experimental data collected between 2015 and 2018 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. A non-standard techniqueis used to search for a displaced vertex from particle trajectories produced in the HNL decay to leptons. The dominant background from uncorrelated leptons crossing in the ATLAS detector is estimated using an objectshuffling method. The reconstructed HNL mass is used to discriminate between signal and background. No excessof events is observed and constraints on the strength of the interactions between HNLs and neutrinos are imposed in various scenarios. \nThis seminar will conclude with a presentation of methods used to study the detector performance and readout system of the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk). The LHC is currently undergoing upgrades that will enable it to produce more than ten times the data that has already been collected. To meet the requirements of this challenging new environment\, an all-silicon particle tracking system will be installed in ATLAS. \n\n\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.Join Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98663061529?pwd=UjcrMktySE15dHo2aFB0d1R4QjBBQT09 \nMeeting ID: 986 6306 1529\nPasscode: 257822\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,98663061529#\,\,\,\,*257822# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,98663061529#\,\,\,\,*257822# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 986 6306 1529\nPasscode: 257822\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/ac5QlnwbVX \nJoin by SIP\n98663061529@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 986 6306 1529\nPasscode: 257822 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Oliver H.E. Philcox (Princeton) " Large Scale Structure Beyond the 2-Point Function"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nQuantum 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 pairwise distribution of galaxies\, usually represented by a power spectrum. Today\, the distribution of matter is far from Gaussian\, with structures forming across a vast range of scales. To date\, almost all spectroscopic analyses have used only the two-point function. This begs the question: can we extract more information using higher-point statistics?  \n \nIn this seminar\, I will present a pedagogical overview of the leading-order non-Gaussian statistics\, and demonstrate how they can be used both to sharpen constraints on known physical parameters\, and to provide stringent tests of new physics occurring in the early Universe. One of the major barriers to constraining cosmology from the higher-point functions is computational: measuring the statistics with conventional techniques is infeasible for current and future datasets. I will discuss new methods capable of reducing the computational cost by orders of magnitude\, and show how this facilitates a number of exciting new tests of the cosmological model. Such techniques are already being applied to data from BOSS; the corresponding pipelines can be simply reapplied to DESI data\, and will lead to sharper parameter constraints without additional observing time.\n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/If you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98494136036?pwd=QnR3NjBWb0xQN0hZaTNjTjJGWWpaQT09 \nMeeting ID: 984 9413 6036\nPasscode: 566166\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,98494136036#\,\,\,\,*566166# US (San Jose)\n+12532158782\,\,98494136036#\,\,\,\,*566166# US (Tacoma) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\nMeeting ID: 984 9413 6036\nPasscode: 566166\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/aFnp0OM7V \nJoin by SIP\n98494136036@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 984 9413 6036\nPasscode: 566166 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Robin Hayes (University of British Columbia; Canada) “Probing the Standard Model Through Measurements of the Higgs Boson with the ATLAS Detector”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nAs 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 might hint at signs of new physics. I will present recent measurements of gluon fusion (ggF) and vector boson fusion (VBF) Higgs production in the H->WW*->evuv decay channel\, using data from the ATLAS detector at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These measurements are challenging due to the high-background environment\, where on average fewer than one in one billion proton-proton collisions produces Higgs bosons. I will discuss novel analysis techniques and improvements that allow the first observation of the H->WW* process in the VBF channel and precise measurements of Higgs boson cross-sections in important kinematic regions. As preparations for the next LHC runs continue\, I will lay out further ways in which the current and future LHC datasets can be exploited to creatively test the SM through Higgs physics. \n\n\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.Join Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98957756391?pwd=Um02RVJyZXB1dHVtL0VKcjZWcFFHZz09 \nMeeting ID: 989 5775 6391\nPasscode: 845640\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,98957756391#\,\,\,\,*845640# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,98957756391#\,\,\,\,*845640# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 989 5775 6391\nPasscode: 845640\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/ad7l2jqTIQ \nJoin by SIP\n98957756391@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 989 5775 6391\nPasscode: 845640 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Boryana Hadzhiyska (Harvard) "Uncovering physics from Stage-IV cosmological experiments with accurate galaxy models"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nOver 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 of dark energy\, dark matter\, inflation and neutrinos. One of the most critical issues with these experiments will be the connection between observed galaxies and the underlying matter field. My research program offers a viable path for constructing accurate models of the galaxy-matter connection and applying them to observational analysis\, with the goal of recovering the missing pieces of our cosmological model. In particular\, I will share my contributions to the development of state-of-the-art cosmological simulations and analysis tools and propose readily reachable goals for extracting cosmological information from the ongoing DESI and CMB experiments. Future breakthroughs will likely be the product of collaborative efforts across all of cosmology\, galaxy formation and particle physics. My broad-scaled research proposal will bring together diverse ideas and aid LBNL science goals at the crossroads of cosmological discovery. \n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/96671323188?pwd=TVZ2WHZUcjgzMzhKV0sxQys3SUY5UT09 \nMeeting ID: 966 7132 3188\nPasscode: 657990\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,96671323188#\,\,\,\,*657990# US (San Jose)\n+12532158782\,\,96671323188#\,\,\,\,*657990# US (Tacoma) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 966 7132 3188\nPasscode: 657990\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/ad4weom8dG \nJoin by SIP\n96671323188@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 966 7132 3188\nPasscode: 657990 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Brendon Aurele Bullard (Harvard) “Toward Precision Measurements of the Higgs Yukawa Couplings” 
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nWith 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 of the properties of the Higgs boson are key to find indications of new physics. I will discuss the program of precision measurements of the Higgs Yukawa coupling strengths with the ATLAS experiment\, focusing on those of the muon and top quark. I will give an overview of the search for Higgs decays in the dimuon channel with an emphasis on the novel use of quark/gluon tagging in an ATLAS Higgs measurement. Secondly\, I will present the status and outlook for the joint measurement of ttW and ttH production in multi-lepton final states with an emphasis on ttW modeling\, fake lepton estimation\, and profile-likelihood unfolding. Finally\, I will discuss the importance of the High Luminosity LHC for these physics goals in terms of sensitivity projections and the extension of tracking instrumentation provided by the ATLAS ITk upgrade. \n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/ \nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95034216019?pwd=ZHNzZE0wcFBmdDczUTdpenBNZ0NNZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 3421 6019\nPasscode: 999283\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,95034216019#\,\,\,\,*999283# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,95034216019#\,\,\,\,*999283# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 950 3421 6019\nPasscode: 999283\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/adAIBZwhD4 \nJoin by SIP\n95034216019@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 950 3421 6019\nPasscode: 999283 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Miao HU (MIT) “Vector Boson Scattering in the Post-Higgs-Boson-Discovery Era”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:
  \nThe observation of a Higgs boson with a mass of about 125 GeV confirmed the nature of the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) predicted by the standard model of particle physics\, establishing that the W and Z gauge bosons acquire their mass via the Higgs mechanism. However\, the discovered Higgs boson might not be the lone player responsible for EWSB. Further insights into the Higgs and the gauge bosons mutual- and self-couplings can be obtained from measurements of vector boson scattering (VBS) processes. \nIn this talk\, I will present the study of same-sign WW\, WZ\, and ZZ boson pair productions in association with two jets with data collected by the CMS detector. The effort led to the most precise measurement of the EW same-sign WW cross section to date and the first experimental observation of the EW WZ production. It also formed the basis for the first measurements of the polarized VBS. Interpretations beyond the standard model\, including the constraints on the structure of quartic vector boson interactions in the framework of effective field theory\, will also be discussed. \n\n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/ \nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98462347467?pwd=RjB6dkJPUUpkdnZQd1E5Y0dlcDdaQT09 \nMeeting ID: 984 6234 7467\nPasscode: 652418\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,98462347467#\,\,\,\,*652418# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,98462347467#\,\,\,\,*652418# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 984 6234 7467\nPasscode: 652418\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/acEKgxLvBN \nJoin by SIP\n98462347467@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 984 6234 7467\nPasscode: 652418 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Maria Mironova (Oxford)  “First Direct Constraint on the Higgs-Charm Coupling and its Expected Evolution with the ATLAS Detector Upgrade”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:
 \nThe coupling of the Higgsboson to charm quarks has eluded experimental observation since the Higgs boson discovery in 2012. At present\, this is the largest contribution to possibleHiggs boson decays that is not experimentally verified. However\, this measurement is crucial to shed light on the fundamental coupling of the Higgs boson to second-generation quarks. This seminar highlights the recent search for Higgs boson decays into a pair of charm quarks\, produced in association with a vector boson\, using the data collected by the ATLAS detector between 2015 and 2018.This measurement sets the first direct limit on the Higgs boson coupling to charm quarks \nWith the upgrade to High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC)\, a significant improvement to this measurement is expected due to the increased size of the dataset as well as the upgrade of the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk). A new pixel detector system will improve resolution\, increasing the identification efficiency of charm quarks. However\, the detector will have to cope with higher data rates and withstand higher levels of radiation. The ITk pixel upgrade\, particularly the characterisation of the pixel readout chips\, and the expected precision of the measurement of the Higgs boson coupling to charm quarks at the HL-LHC are discussed. \n \n \n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/99938871022?pwd=YjZ5azNyaUtVV2FVTWNEZkJUTmc4Zz09\n\nMeeting ID: 999 3887 1022\nPasscode: 872514\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,99938871022#\,\,\,\,*872514# US (San Jose)\n+12532158782\,\,99938871022#\,\,\,\,*872514# US (Tacoma)\n\nDial by your location\n        +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n        +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n        +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n        +1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n        +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n        +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 999 3887 1022\nPasscode: 872514\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/aeEwdvaKic\n\nJoin by SIP\n99938871022@zoomcrc.com\n\nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 999 3887 1022\nPasscode: 872514\n\n\n──────────

SUMMARY:Vetri Velan (UC Berkeley) “The Present and Future of Dark Matter Direct Detection”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:
  \nDark matter is one of the primary unsolved problems in modern particle physics. Since the late 1980s\, physicists have been trying to directly detect dark matter particles passing through the Earth\, typically by searching for nuclear recoils. This search has been unsuccessful so far\, but I will discuss recent advancements and upcoming technologies that offer a promising path forward. First\, I will present xenon time projection chambers\, including the LUX and LUX-ZEPLIN experiments\, as the best strategy for detecting Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). I will explain how understanding energy deposition in liquid xenon allows us to test the remaining WIMP parameter space\, and I will discuss recent data-driven and simulation-driven advancements in this field. Second\, I will discuss calorimetry as a tool for probing dark matter models below the WIMP scale\, with masses on the order of 1-1000 MeV/c2. I will describe the TESSERACT project\, using transition-edge sensors to achieve unprecedented sensitivity to a variety of dark matter interactions. \n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/ \nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/99788515717?pwd=YXhCSXRFSGZhZlE3dEJLeFRTNGF0UT09 \nMeeting ID: 997 8851 5717\nPasscode: 113722\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,99788515717#\,\,\,\,*113722# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,99788515717#\,\,\,\,*113722# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 997 8851 5717\nPasscode: 113722\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/aibvGbITC \nJoin by SIP\n99788515717@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 997 8851 5717\nPasscode: 113722 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Field Rose Rogers (MIT) "The GAPS Antarctic Balloon Experiment: Low-energy Antinuclei for Dark Matter Detection"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:   \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDespite overwhelming evidence of abundant dark matter in the Universe\, the nature of this material remains a mystery. The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is an upcoming NASA Antarctic balloon mission to search for signatures of dark matter annihilation or decay in the fluxes of low-energy (<0.25 GeV/n) cosmic antinuclei. GAPS will produce a precision cosmic antiproton spectrum extending to an unexplored low-energy regime\, with sensitivity to light dark matter models\, primordial black holes\, and cosmic-ray propagation. GAPS will also either provide the first unambiguous detection of a cosmic-ray antideuteron or exclude the viable dark matter models that predict a low-energy antideuteron flux orders of magnitude above the astrophysical background. To identify these rare low-energy antinuclei while rejecting the abundant positive- nucleus backgrounds\, GAPS pioneers a novel exotic atom-based particle identification technique\, which relies on a system of >10 m2 of large-area high-temperature lithium-drifted silicon (Si(Li)) detectors. I will discuss the GAPS science program\, with a special emphasis on the exotic atom method of particle identification and the Si(Li) detectors that are central to its success. \n\n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/ \nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/92582314131?pwd=djVvMUp5US9zd2tKT0s3cDdBVTY2QT09 \nMeeting ID: 925 8231 4131\nPasscode: 234326\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,92582314131#\,\,\,\,*234326# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,92582314131#\,\,\,\,*234326# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 925 8231 4131\nPasscode: 234326\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/acbbUKT6Fg \nJoin by SIP\n92582314131@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 925 8231 4131\nPasscode: 234326 \n──────────
