Anna Patej (Harvard) "Distributions of Baryons from the Virial Radius of Galaxy Clusters to Large Scales"
Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, caAbstract: I will discuss my recent work on the distributions of baryonic matter on various scales, from the gas and galaxies in galaxy clusters to the clustering of massive galaxies on large scales. Near the virial radius of galaxy clusters, …

Sara Simon (Princeton) "The Atacama B-Mode Search: Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimetry at 17,000 Feet"
Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, caAbstract: The Atacama B-mode Search (ABS) was a crossed-Dragone telescope located at an elevation of 5200 m in the Atacama Desert in Chile that observed the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from February 2012 until October 2014. ABS searched for the primordial B-mode polarization signal …

Sheldon Stone (Syracuse Univ.) "Pentaquarks and Tetraquarks at LHCb"
Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, caAbstract: I will discuss the discovery of two pentaquark states both decaying into a J/ψ meson and a proton. The decay mode defines the quark content as c cbar, u, u, d, and thus are called charmonium pentaquarks. These exotic …

Hongtao Yang (CERN) "ATLAS Measurement of Higgs Boson Production in the Diphoton Decay Channel and ATLAS-CMS Combined Measurement of the Higgs Boson Mass"
Abstract: Understanding the properties of the newly-discovered Higgs boson has been one of the priorities of the LHC physics program. In this talk, I will present the measurement of Higgs boson production processes in the diphoton decay channel using 4.5/fb …

Lene Bryngemark (Lund U.) " Searches for Physics Beyond the Standard Model Using Dijets in ATLAS"
Abstract: The LHC gives us access to the highest collider energies, at the highest intensities, providing a unique opportunity to thoroughly examine the constituents of matter and their interactions at ever smaller distances and higher mass scales. Jets are produced …

Ben Nachman (SLAC) "Measuring and Exploiting the Quantum Properties of Jets with the ATLAS Detector"
Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, caAbstract: Quarks and gluons hadronize before their properties can be directly measured. However, information about the origin, electric charge, and color charge of high energy quarks and gluons is embedded in the resulting collimated sprays of hadrons known as jets. …

Special RPM – Rachel Mandelbaum (CMU) "Recent Progress and Future Prospects for Weak Lensing Cosmology""
Abstract: Measurements of weak gravitational lensing (coherent shape distortions of distant galaxies due to the lensing effect of mass between us and those galaxies) and are among the most promising ways to learn about the equation of state of dark …

Tomo Lazovich (Harvard) "One Higgs, Two Higgs, Old Higgs, New Higgs: the Higgs boson from discovery to new physics with the ATLAS experiment"
Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, caAbstract: The discovery of the Higgs in Run 1 of the LHC provided a more complete picture of the Standard Model and also gave particle physicists a new tool to use in the search for Beyond the Standard Model physics. …
