Raquel Castillo Fernandez (Fermilab) “Searching for Nu Physics with High Resolution Detectors”

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

Abstract: Neutrino physics aims to answer some of the most pressing questions in particle physics: why the Universe is dominated by matter, why the neutrino mass is so small and if there are more types of neutrinos. Due to the …

Ken Van Tilburg (NYU/IAS) “The Structure of Dark Matter on Small Scales”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT: Halometry---mapping out the spectrum, location, and kinematics of nonluminous structures inside the Galactic halo---can be realized via effects that variable weak gravitational lensing induces on the proper motions of stars and other luminous background sources. Modern astrometric surveys provide …

David Caratelli (Fermilab) “Neutrinos at Short Baselines: the MicroBooNE Experiment”

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

Abstract: While neutrino oscillation physics has entered an era of precision measurements, several anomalies in experiments at short baselines remain without a satisfactory answer. The MicroBooNE experiment has been recording neutrino interactions on Fermilab’s Booster Neutrino Beam since 2015 employing …

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 …
