Abstract: Results will be presented from searches looking for a large transverse momentum imbalance motivated by dark matter and supersymmetry, using a sample of proton-proton collisions collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in 2015 with the CMS detector …

Abstract: The discovery of the Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider provides a novel tool to search for signs of physics beyond the Standard Model at the LHC. The Higgs boson is central …
Abstract: Supersymmetry is a well motivated extension of the Standard Model of particle physics, although its realization in nature has yet to be proven. The main efforts at the Large Hadron Collider to probe for supersymmetry at the electroweak mass …
Abstract: A brief overview of the main highlights discussed at Moriond 2016 is presented, with particular focus on LHC results, neutrino and flavour physics. One of the main topic of the conference is the first look at the results from …
Abstract: Charged kaon production by atmospheric neutrinos is a background in searches for the proton decay $p \rightarrow K^{+} \bar{\nu}$. Measurements of neutrino-induced $K^{+}$ production are important inputs for current and future proton decay searches at Super-K, Hyper-K and DUNE. …
The inverse square law of gravity has been empirically tested to various degrees for distances between <0.1mm to 1AU. Outside this range very little is known and, yet, physics beyond the standard model may actually introduce new long-range forces that …

Experiments and observations over the last two decades have persuaded cosmologists that (as yet undetected) dark energy is by far the main component of the energy budget of the universe. I review a few simple dark energy models and compare …
Abstract:
Abstract: The Indian effort to build an underground laboratory for rare processes is outlined. The flagship experiment, based on the 50 kiloton Iron Calorimeter, will measure atmospheric muon neutrinos and antineutrinos, separately, and will target the open problem of the …
Abstract: The LHC energy increase from 8 TeV to 13 TeV in 2015 provided a significant increase in sensitivity for new, high mass particles. This had a large impact on the sensitivity of searches for supersymmetric squarks and gluinos even …
