ABSTRACT: In this talk, I'd like to discuss the intertwining importance and connections of three principles of data science in the title in data-driven decisions. Making prediction as its central task and embracing computation as its core, machine learning has …

Bin Yu (University of California, Berkeley) "Three Principles of Data Science: Predictability, Stability, and Computability" Read More »

Abstract: The discovery of the Higgs boson has completed the set of particles predicted by the Standard Model (SM). It has been established by the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider that the discovered boson is consistent …

Ulascan Sarica (John Hopkins U.) "Measurements of Mass, Width, Lifetime, and Anomalous Couplings of the H(125) Boson" Read More »

Abstract: As the universe cooled immediately following the Big Bang, the laws of physics underwent a dramatic phase transition. Underlying symmetries were broken and particles acquired mass as the Higgs field moved to a new ground state. In this talk …

Patrick Bryant (U. Chicago) "Measuring Higgs Pair Production at the LHC – Why and How? Read More »

Abstract: During Run 1 of LHC, the ATLAS and CMS collaboration firmly established the existence of a Higgs boson but detailed measurements were limited by statistical precision. With the larger Run 2 dataset, we have measured the couplings and production …

Syed haider Abidi (University of Toronto) "Measurement of Higgs Boson Properties & ITk Detector Development" Read More »

Abstract: Dark matter represents one of the most sought after discoveries in physics. Leading theories predict that extremely sensitive detectors could probe nuclear recoils from dark matter interactions. The PICO collaboration uses bubble chambers to look for the energy deposition …

Daniel Baxter (Northwestern University) Probing the Dark Sector: The Quest for a Background-Free Detector Read More »

Abstract: “Despite the huge success of the Standard Model (SM), there is overwhelming evidence for physics beyond the SM and many remaining questions, such as the nature of dark matter (DM). The current leading candidate for DM are Weakly Interacting …
