Abstract: The American Physical Society’s Division of Particles and Fields is gearing up for its next community planning process (for historical reasons, called Snowmass).  This process will occur over the next year and culminate in a 10 year plan (with …

Abstract:  Particles produced in high energy collisions that are charged under one of the fundamental forces will radiate proportionally to their charge, such as photon radiation from electrons in quantum electrodynamics. At sufficiently high energies, this radiation pattern is enhanced …

ABSTRACT: Having discovered the Higgs boson without obvious new particles at the Large Hadron Collider, precision study of the Higgs boson at a Higgs factory is the obvious strategy at the energy frontier. I will review basic motivation and various …

ABSTRACT: The motions of galaxies on top of the Hubble expansion, peculiar velocities, are a probe of clustering and the growth of structure in the Universe.  For distance indicators, peculiar velocities manifest themselves as residuals on the Hubble diagram.  Ongoing …

Abstract: 40 years ago, Caves, Thorne, and their collaborators asked the question: what are the fundamental quantum limits on the measurement of a small position displacement? The answers to these conceptual questions led to the first direct detection of a …
