Aleksandra Dimitrievska and Karol Krizka "A Very Selective Summary of the Moriond QCD and EW Sessions"

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

Abstract: Many new results from a wide range of particle physics experiments and theoretical predictions were shown at the 54th Rencontres de Moriond. On the experimental side, they included updated ATLAS/CMS analyses (many using the full Run 2 dataset), probes …

Gilbert Holder (U. Illinois, Urbana-Champaign) "Particle Physics & Astrophysics with Wide Field mm-Wave Surveys"

INPA Common Room (50-5026) 50-5026

Abstract: There have now been several generations of wide-field mm-wave surveys, with several ongoing and upcoming very ambitious projects. We have already learned a great deal about the early universe and put strong constraints on particle physics extensions to the …

Tomasz Skwarnicki (Syracuse) "Observation of New Pentaquark States and Other Exotic Hadrons"

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

ABSTRACT: The LHCb experiment has just discovered new narrow pentaquark states decaying to J/psi p, which shed more light into the nature of the J/psi p structures reported by LHCb in Lambda_b decays four years ago. We will describe these …

Paula Alvarez Cartelle (Imperial College London) “Search for lepton flavour universality violation in B+→K+ℓ+ℓ− decays at LHCb”

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

Abstract: “Recent measurements of observables involving the flavour changing neutral current transition b→sμ+μ− have shown an interesting pattern of tensions with respect to the predictions of the Standard Model (SM). However, the interpretation of these results is limited by our …

Nathan Jurek (U. Oxford) "Observation of CP violation in charm decays (and more charming topics)"

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

Precision measurements of the violation of charge-parity (CP) symmetry are crucial for testing the Standard Model and are sensitive probes for new physics contributions. While CP violation has been well-established by several different experiments in the decays of mesons containing …

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

ABSTRACT: The hypothesis of the existence of non-baryonic dark matter in our galactic halo is supported by all astrophysical observations performed from cosmological to local scales. The measurement of one clear experimental signal of this matter represents one of the …

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

ABSTRACT: Measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropies and E-mode polarization have proven to be essential to our understanding of early universe cosmology by providing independent and strong evidence in favor of the Lambda-CDM cosmological model. However, there …

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

ABSTRACT: QCD predicts a phase transition to quark gluon plasma. This plasma is now produced regularly in collisions of heavy nuclei at both RHIC and the LHC, and it exhibits remarkable properties. Its vanishingly small shear viscosity to entropy density …
