2. Diffractive Scattering at the LHC

Alexander Lind

New Directions in Particle Experiments

This talk will present a study of diffractive scattering of high-energy protons at the LHC. Hadronic diffraction is not well-understood and many alternative approaches exist. The Monte Carlo event generator Pythia follows a Pomeron-based approach, where the invariant mass of the diffractive system and the squared momentum transfer of the system is set up according to a phenomenological Pomeron...

3. Data-driven corrections to ATLAS electron trigger simulation

Daniela Kock

New Directions in Particle Experiments

The High Level Trigger (HLT) system used in the ATLAS detector at the
Large Hadron Collider provides high efficiency selection of a wide range of
signals. Very important targeted signatures are those where we identify single
or multiple electron candidate events in the data. This is because they
have a very wide application in many type of physics searches, like Higgs
searches, searches of...

4. Jet tagging with neural networks

Henry Day-Hall

New Directions in Particle Experiments

The LHC has yet to achieve a discovery more exciting than the Higgs boson
in 2012, but the collaboration has not given up hope of one. In the quest to
observe physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) we probe higher luminoci-
ties, and employ new techniques to access previously elusive areas of phase space.
One aspect of the phenomenology that is under active development is the...

5. b-Jet Clustering Techniques for BSM Higgs Physics

Billy Ford

4/4/19 11:20

New Directions in Particle Experiments

In this talk we consider aspects of beyond the standard model phenomenology involving b-jet classification. In particular, we consider events involving an extended Higgs sector from 2HDMs, which decay into final states of multiple b-jets. We review how these jets are identified and tagged both at the LHC and in Monte Carlo simulation, including so called jet clustering algorithms, and pose the...

6. Bounds and Prospects for Stable Multiply Charged Particles at the LHC

Sandra Kvedaraite

4/4/19 11:40

New Directions in Particle Experiments

Colored and colorless particles that are stable on collider scales and carry exotic electric charges, so-called MCHSPs, exist in extensions of the Standard Model, and can include the top partner(s) in solutions of the hierarchy problem. In this talk I will present a recast of two production channels of MCHSPs: the “open” channel – where the particles are pair-produced above threshold, and are...

7. Future Prospects of the SNO+ Experiment

Lorna Nolan

4/4/19 12:00

New Directions in Particle Experiments

The SNO+ experiment is a multi-purpose liquid scintillator neutrino experiment, with a main goal to search for neutrino less double beta decay of 130Te. In preparation for the liquid scintillator phase, the detector has been running with pure water as a detection medium for the past year. During this time, measurements of solar neutrinos with very low backgrounds have been made as well as new...

Ryan Hill

4/4/19 14:30

Lattice QCD

B mesons are ideally suited to test the Standard Model Flavour Sector through experimental measurements of the CKM matrix elements |V_ub| and |V_cb|. Theoretical calculations of these matrix elements are also required, which is where lattice QCD steps in. However, heavy quarks cannot be placed on the lattice in the same manner as light quarks. The lattice introduces discretisation errors that...

18. GUTs and Modular symmetries as an origin of Flavour symmetries

Elena Perdomo Mendez

5/4/19 12:10

Model Building Post-Higgs

I will give an introduction to modular symmetries and how

they can be interpreted as a family symmetry. Afterwards, I

will focus on an SU(5) model in 6d where the two extra dimensions are

compactified on a T_2/Z_2 orbifold, with a twist angle of \omega=ei2pi/3. Such construction suggests an underlying modular A_4 symmetry,leading to an effective \mu-\tau reflection symmetry at low...

19. Left-right supersymmetry after Higgs discovery

Harri Waltari

5/4/19 12:30

Model Building Post-Higgs

The LHC has found a Higgs boson compatible with the Standard Model Higgs but no other particles despite intesive searches. Also dark matter direct detection experiments have reached the sensitivity to test WIMP candidates. I shall give a short introduction of left-right supersymmetry and then discuss what have we learned from (i) Higgs measurements, (ii) BSM searches and (iii) direct detection...

Ronnie Rodgers

Developments in Particle Theory

This talk will focus on how holography can be applied to condensed matter physics. I will review the physics of zero sound in Fermi liquids, an excitation which resembles hydrodynamic sound but exists at low temperature. I will then discuss a class of holographic models which exhibit a phenomenon similar to zero sound. These holographic models describe systems which are most definitely not...

Alex Mitchell

Developments in Particle Theory

In this brief talk I discuss two aspects of a novel approach to quantum gravity, the first of these is the construction of evanescent operators of the dilaton which provides an initial direction to finding solutions to the inherent problems of non-renormalizability of quantum gravity. The second is the use of the Batalin-Vilkovisky anti-field technique and how this can be used with...

24. Cluster Adjacency of Scattering Amplitudes

Jack Foster

5/4/19 15:15

Developments in Particle Theory

Recent developments in scattering amplitudes have illuminated new mathematical structures in quantum field theory. Most notably research in N=4 Super Yang-Mills has led to the development of the cluster bootstrap program in which scattering amplitudes have a geometric interpretation through cluster algebras. In my talk I will discuss one new facet of this program - cluster adjacency - and what...
