Dam Son shows that a hitherto discarded term in the conserve current is not only allowed by symmetries, but is in fact required by triangle anomalies and the second law of thermodynamics.

Jeremy Mardon shows that the BBN bound can be naturally evaded in the presence of multiple sectors which independently break supersymmetry, since there is a new decay channel of the LOSP to a goldstino.

Felix Yu presents a new method for resolving combinatorial ambiguities that arise in multi-particle decay chains at hadron colliders where the assignment of visible particles to the different decay chains has ambiguities.

Alex Dahlen shows that the fastest decay is a giant leap to a wildly distant minimum, in which many different fluxes discharge at once.

David Curtin proposes Singlet Stabilized Minimal Gauge Mediation as a simple ISS-based model of Direct Gauge Mediation which avoids both light gauginos and Landau Poles.

Patrick Draper gives a talk about how if collider experiments demonstrate that the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is a good description of nature at the weak scale, the experimental priority will be the precise determination of superpartner masses.

Christoph Englert discusses how the upcoming generation of colliders' weak boson production in association with hard jets is going to provide insight into the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking.

Tim Cohen discusses how Asymmetric Dark Matter (ADM) models relate the dark matter density to the baryon asymmetry, so that a natural mass scale for ADM is around a few GeV.

Haiying Cai examines supersymmetric theories with approximately conformal sectors.

Jared Evans constructs a complete, realistic, and natural UV completion of minimal conformal technicolor that explains the origin of quark and lepton masses and mixing angles.
