Abstract: The precise measurements of the W boson, the Higgs boson and the top quark masses enables to test the consistency of the Standard Model. Constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model are currently limited by the precision of the W-boson …
Abstract: The BICEP/Keck Array cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiments located at the South Pole are a series of small-aperture refracting telescopes focused on the degree-scale B-mode signature of inflationary gravitational waves. I will present our latest results which have …
Abstract: I will discuss the new (old) idea that dark matter may reside in a hidden sector whose interactions with the standard model are mediated by a dark photon. Possibilities for direct detection of such particles will be discussed. This …
ABSTRACT: At the end of the XIX century, Lord Kelvin summarized a widespread feeling among physicists by saying that "physics is essentially complete, save for two little clouds". The "clouds" he was referring to were the puzzling results from two measurements, the Michelson-Morley …
Precision measurements of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropies over the last two decades have been a spectacular success, constraining all six parameters of the LambdaCDM cosmological model to the percent level. However, while CMB temperature is well explored, current …
