ABSTRACT: The hypothesis of the existence of non-baryonic dark matter in our galactic halo is supported by all astrophysical observations performed from cosmological to local scales. The measurement of one clear experimental signal of this matter represents one of the …
ABSTRACT: Measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropies and E-mode polarization have proven to be essential to our understanding of early universe cosmology by providing independent and strong evidence in favor of the Lambda-CDM cosmological model. However, there …
ABSTRACT: The CMS detector is being upgraded for the phase two of the LHC, where a dataset with much larger integrated luminosity will precisely measure the Higgs boson couplings and extend new phenomena searches to cover challenging scenarios with large …
ABSTRACT: QCD predicts a phase transition to quark gluon plasma. This plasma is now produced regularly in collisions of heavy nuclei at both RHIC and the LHC, and it exhibits remarkable properties. Its vanishingly small shear viscosity to entropy density …

Abstract: The CMS experiment has analyzed up to 140 fb-1 of pp collisions delivered by the LHC at 13 TeV. This data has allowed for improved precision in several aspects of Higgs-boson and electroweak physics and pushed the frontiers on …

ABSTRACT: Quantifying how terrestrial systems respond to climate change and other perturbations is challenging due to the complexity of associated processes that occur from bedrock-to-canopy and from genome to watershed scales. This presentation will describe the development of several new …

ABSTRACT: At present a process is ongoing in Europe to update the European Strategy of Particle Physics with respect to the previous update from May 2013. The process was started last year and is expected to end in May 2020. …
Abstract: We live in a matter dominated world, so where did all the antimatter go? The Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) experiment in Japan is trying to detect charge-parity violation (CPV) in neutrino oscillation, which could help explain this phenomenon. As the successor …

ABSTRACT: Conventional methods for searching for new physics at the LHC have mostly been "top-down": starting from a specific model, searches are designed and optimized to have the best sensitivity to that model. Despite hundreds of conventional new physics searches …
