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: 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 …

Abstract: High-energy frontier in particle physics is going to enter into an era of precision studies after Run 3 at the LHC, with the increase of proton luminosity and upgraded detectors. This will pose a significant challenge to the event …
