Kyle Dawson (U. Utah) “The Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Cosmological Implications from two Decades of Spectroscopic Surveys at the Apache Point observatory”

50-Auditorium

Abstract: The Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) concluded observations of the cosmic distance scale and the growth of structure in February, 2019.  The three dimensional clustering in all samples from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) was used to …

JOINT INPA/RPM Seminar | Michelle Galloway (University of Zurich) “Observation of excess electronic recoil events in XENON1T”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: A search for new physics with XENON1T revealed an excess of electronic recoil events in the (1 – 7) keV region, favoring signal over background with significances of 3.5 sigma for solar axions/ALPs, 3.2 sigma for an enhanced neutrino …

Josh McFayden (LBNL) “Unravelling LEP-Era Lepton Flavour Universality Discrepancy with ATLAS”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract:  A remarkable feature of the Standard Model (SM) is that each lepton flavour (electron, muon, tau) is equally likely to interact with a W boson. This is known as Lepton Flavour Universality. In a recent ATLAS measurement, a novel technique …

Vivian Miranda (U. Arizona) “The Connected Universe: Relating Early, Intermediate and Late Universe with cosmological data”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: The standard model of cosmology is built upon on a series of propositions on how the early, intermediate, and late epochs of the Universe behave. In particular, it predicts that dark energy and dark matter currently pervades the cosmos. …

Nan Lu (Caltech) “Evidence for Higgs Boson Decay to a Pair of Muons from the CMS Experiment “

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: This seminar presents the search for the rare Higgs boson decay to a pair of muons performed by the CMS experiment at the LHC, based on the full Run 2 dataset. Events are categorized based on the characteristics of …

Andrej Obuljen (Waterloo) “Anisotropic Assembly Bias in Theory, Simulations and BOSS Data”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT Clustering of matter on large scales provides an important source of information on key cosmological parameters. To extract this information we need to understand the relation between the tracers we observe and the underlying matter field. The clustering strength …
