Greg Aldering, Bob Cahn, Alex Kim, and Saul Perlmutter (LBNL) "Type Ia Supernova Program at LBNL: Status and Plans"

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT: Supernovae remain a central part of dark energy science, complementing the programs with BAO and weak lensing.  The LBNL group is active with the nearby supernova search with the SN factory, a role in the intermediate-redshift DES supernova program, …

Marilena Loverde (Stony Brook Univ.) "Neutrinos, Quintessence and Structure Formation in the Universe"

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: The large-scale structure of our universe (the distribution of galaxies on very large-scales for instance) contains a wealth of information about the origin, evolution, and matter content of the universe. Extracting this information relies crucially on understanding how galaxies …

Bruce Schumm (UCSC) "Supersymmetry Searches at the LHC: Status and a Thought or Two about the Future"

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: I'll remind us all of the motivation for Supersymmetry searches at the LHC, and provide a general overview of the status of the search. Since, even after results making use of in excess of 10 fb-1 of 13 TeV …

Erez Etzion (Tel-Aviv U.) "Higgs hunting episode II – Searches for Beyond the SM Higgs at the LHC"

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT The discovery of the "Higgs like" particle in summer 2012 completed about fifty years of search. In short time with significantly more data we renamed it to be the Higgs particle and continued with studying its characteristic. In parallel …

Emmanuel Schaan (Princeton) "Non-linearities in the large-scale structure: noise and signal"

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract:  The primordial density perturbations seen in the cosmic microwave background have collapsed under gravity to form the large-scale structure we see in the universe today. This evolution is non-linear, and therefore introduces coupling between Fourier modes that would otherwise …

Robert Kirshner (Moore Foundation) "Doing WFIRST Science Now: Supernovae in the Infrared"

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract.- An infrared-capable 2.4m telescope is presently in orbit:  the Hubble Space Telescope.  This makes it possible to do rest-frame infrared observations of Type Ia supernovae.  In the infrared, SN Ia are more nearly standard candles and there is less …
