Abstract: Modeling galaxy-dark matter connection is essential in deriving unbiased cosmological constraints from galaxy clustering observations. We show that a more physically motivated galaxy-dark matter incorporating secondary biases can result in more accurate predictions of galaxy clustering, and that it …
Abstract: Accelerator-based, long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments are uniquely positioned to explore the CP-violating nature of the neutrino sector. This talk will briey discuss the experimental technique before surveying selected topics spanning both current and future generations of such experiments. First, …
Abstract: MicroBooNE is a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) detector and is the first of three such detectors to be commissioned as part of the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program at Fermilab (FNAL), and has been taking data since 2015. One …
Abstract: Large-scale structure (LSS) surveys have exploded in size over the last few decades, cataloguing the locations and shapes of hundreds of millions of galaxies. The unprecedented precision enabled by such datasets puts extraordinary demands on the control of systematic …
Abstract: The Standard Model of particle physics described the interactions between the elementary particles that compose our universe. To study these interactions, protons collide at very high energies at the Large Hadron Collider, generating hundreds of particles through every bunch …
Abstract: The Higgs boson is the only fundamental spin-0 particle in the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, associated with an ever-present field that is the source of mass and linked to electroweak symmetry breaking, making it a particle …
Abstract: The Belle II Experiment is a next generation SuperB factory that aims to discover new physics phenomena at the highest intensities. It started its first physics run in 2019 and will until the end of 2021 collect a data …

Abstract: As part of a comprehensive plan to investigate the many combinations of production and decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson using the full Run 2 ATLAS dataset at the LHC, I will present a search for the SM …
Abstract: Gravitational lensing of CMB photons by the matter distribution of the Universe can be both a blessing and nuisance. It's a blessing because of the way it can be harnessed to map the structures responsible for the deflections, and from this, constrain any physics …
Abstract: The discovery of neutrino oscillations provides the first indication of a lepton flavor violating (LFV) process, one that isn't predicted by the Standard Model. Extending the Standard Model picture to account for this usually proceeds via the addition of …
