Christian Bauer (LBNL) “Quantum computing for High Energy Physics”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT: I will review the Quantum Computing efforts in the Physics division, with the goal of allowing to calculate important properties of the Standard Model non-perturbatively and ultimately to simulate scattering at colliders from first principles. I will present several …

Laura Jeanty (Oregon) “Perspectives from Run 2: Status and Outlook for Supersymmetry Searches at the LHC”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT: The second run of the LHC, from 2015-2018, produced an unprecedented trove of data in which the ATLAS and CMS collaborations have been searching for evidence of new particles and new phenomena. Supersymmetry remains one of the most promising theories for new physics accessible at …

Caterina Vernieri (Stanford) “A “Cool” Route to Unveil the Higgs Boson’s Secrets”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT: The Higgs boson was discovered in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the world’s most powerful particle collider, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland. This particle plays a unique role in fundamental physics. It gives …

Emily Ann Thompson (DESY) “The Quest For Long-Lived Particles: Searching For Displaced Vertices and Tracking in the Trigger”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: The existence of long-lived particles (LLPs) is a common feature in many theories beyond the Standard Model. For example, models with small couplings (i.e. R-parity-violating supersymmetry) and models with compressed mass spectra (i.e. co-annihilating dark matter) predict the presence …

Dominique Trischuk (University of British Columbia) “Displaced Vertex Search for Heavy Neutral Leptons with the ATLAS Detector”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract:  This seminar will present recent results of a search for long-lived heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) in proton-protoncollisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is an extremely successful theory and its major predictions have …

Oliver H.E. Philcox (Princeton) ” Large Scale Structure Beyond the 2-Point Function”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: Quantum fluctuations in inflation provide the seeds for the large scale distribution of matter today. According to the standard paradigm, these fluctuations induce density perturbations that are Gaussian distributed. In this limit, all the information is contained within the …

Robin Hayes (University of British Columbia; Canada) “Probing the Standard Model Through Measurements of the Higgs Boson with the ATLAS Detector”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: As the most recently-discovered particle of the Standard Model (SM), the Higgs boson plays a key role in the quest to deepen our understanding of fundamental physics. Measurements of its production cross-sections probe for disagreement with the SM that …

Boryana Hadzhiyska (Harvard) “Uncovering physics from Stage-IV cosmological experiments with accurate galaxy models”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: Over the next few years, cutting-edge cosmological experiments such as DESI, Rubin and CMB-S4 will provide an exquisite probe of the accelerated expansion of the Universe, structure formation, and general relativity, and thus bring us closer to revealing the nature …

Brendon Aurele Bullard (Harvard) “Toward Precision Measurements of the Higgs Yukawa Couplings” 

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: With the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, high energy physics has entered an era in which all fundamental particles predicted by the Standard Model have been observed. With no conclusive observations of physics beyond the Standard Model, precision tests …
