Peter Sorensen (LBNL) "How to See Dark Photons: A Status Report on a New Avenue in Direct Detection"
Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, caAbstract: 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 …

Manuel Franco Sevilla (UCSB) "Strategies for Searches of Physics Beyond the Standard Model in the XXI Century"
Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, caABSTRACT: 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 …

Aritoki Suzuki (UCB) "Next Generation Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimetry Experiment – Enabling Technologies for an Order of Magnitude Increase in Detector Count"
Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, caPrecision 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 …

Stefano Camarda (CERN) "Electroweak precision physics at the LHC"
Abstract: Precision measurements of electroweak observables offer a viable option for finding indications of new physics and also guidance for the next big discovery. In this talk, I will focus on the latest electroweak precision measurements at the LHC, with …

Alvaro Chavarria (U. Chicago) “Solid-State Imaging Detectors for Low-Energy Particle Physics”
Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, caAbstract: The low noise, high spatial resolution and reliable performance of charge-coupled devices (CCDs) and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) active-pixel sensors have made them detectors of choice for digital imaging. Although the slow time response of these devices has limited their …

Yun-Tse Tsai (SLAC/Stanford) "Exploring ν Territory: Using LArTPC Technology ("ν“ here is a Greek alphabet accounting for neutrinos)"
Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, caAbstract: The discovery of neutrino oscillation, which implies neutrinos have non-zero masses, is the first instance of a conflict with the Standard Model of particle physics. The fruitful results from neutrino experiments in the past two decades have opened a …

Javier Tiffenberg (Fermilab) "Things to do with less than one electron: the dawn of the ultimate ionization detector"
Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, caAbstract: Silicon charged coupled devices (CCDs) have proven to be exceptional for the detection and measurement of photons and other ionizing radiation. Their low energy threshold of 50eV (~14 e-) have made them ideal for astronomical aplications and for detectors …

Elisabetta Pianori (CERN) "Unveiliing the Origin of Particles' Mass: Higgs Boson Coupling Measurements at the LHC"
Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, caAbstract: Although the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is a very successful theory, it fails to explain the origin of particles' mass. If the Higgs mechanism, developed in the 60s as a solution to this puzzle, is the correct …

Timon Heim (LBNL) “Challenges of the ATLAS Phase 2 Tracker Upgrade”
Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, caFor the phase 2 upgrade of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, its inner detector will be replaced by a new all-silicon tracker, the Inner Tracker (ITk). This upgrade is necessary both because the inner detector will have reached its …
