SUMMARY:Hans Walter Rix (Max Planck) "Fuel Exploration in the Early Universe: The ALMA Spectroscopic Survey of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nMuch of the exploration of the high-redshift\nUniverse has focussed on first finding sites of ongoing star formation.\nThis can then lead to pointed follow-up of how much\ncold (molecular) gas there is that feeds this star formation.\nALMA now enables ‘blind’ surveys for molecular gas\, the fuel\nsupply for galaxy formation at early epochs.\nI will report on initial results of what such surveys can yield.

SUMMARY:Greg Aldering\, Bob Cahn\, Alex Kim\, and Saul Perlmutter (LBNL) "Type Ia Supernova Program at LBNL: Status and Plans"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nSupernovae remain a central part of dark energy science\, complementing the programs with BAO and weak lensing.  The LBNL group is active with the nearby supernova search with the SN factory\, a role in the intermediate-redshift DES supernova program\, and the collection of increasing numbers of high-z Type Ia supernovae.  The SuperNova factory has revealed a number of systematic issues and some means to address them.  While LSST will discover hundreds of thousands of supernovae\, only if the systematic issues can be addressed will a Stage-IV experiment be possible.  Combining WFIRST and LSST with what is being learned at the SN factory and at DES can provide the path to Stage-IV.

SUMMARY:Marilena Loverde (Stony Brook Univ.) "Neutrinos\, Quintessence and Structure Formation in the Universe"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe large-scale structure of our universe (the distribution of galaxies on very large-scales for instance) contains a wealth of information about the origin\, evolution\, and matter content of the universe. Extracting this information relies crucially on understanding how galaxies and other biased objects trace the large-scale matter distribution. In a universe such as our own\, with both cold dark matter and massive neutrinos\, or in alternative cosmologies with clustered quintessence\, this problem is much more complicated. I will discuss new tools that my group has developed to study gravitational evolution in cosmologies with multiple fluids\, the novel signatures we have identified including a new probe of neutrino mass\, and the broader implications for models of large-scale structure.

SUMMARY:Bruce Schumm (UCSC) "Supersymmetry Searches at the LHC: Status and a Thought or Two about the Future"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nI’ll remind us all of the motivation for Supersymmetry searches at the LHC\, and provide a general overview of the status of the search. Since\, even after results making use of in excess of 10 fb-1 of 13 TeV data we see no significant signals\, I’ll end with a discussion of how imperiled SUSY may or may not be at this point.
