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 …
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 …

Abstract: 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 …
