UC Davis Particle Physics Seminars

Wonsang Cho reports on a new possibility of using the $\mct2$ (Constransverse mass) variable for mass measurement of single step decay chains involving missing particles with moderate transverse momentum.

Luca Vecchi proposes an asymptotically non-free, natural model for dynamical electro-weak symmetry breaking characterized by the emergence of a weakly coupled Higgs in the IR regime.

Matt Reece investigates stringy excitations in Randall-Sundrum effective theories for electroweak symmetry breaking.

Chris Lee talks about how by using the framework of Soft-Collinear Effective Theory, it proves a factorization theorem for jet shape distributions.

Marianglea Lisanti discusses how predictions for direct detection experiments depend on uncertainties in quenching factor measurements, the dark matter interaction with the Standard Model and the halo velocity distribution.

Takemichi Okui presents a complete, viable model of gravity-mediated supersymmetry breaking that is safe from all flavor constraints.

Andrei Gritsan presents on the production and decay of a new single resonance at the LHC, with examples ranging from the Standard Model Higgs boson to KK Graviton in the models with extra space dimensions.

Ian-Woo Kim proposes a novel generalized method for mass measurements based on phase space singularity structures that can be applied to any event topology with missing energy.

Peter Graham presents on the possibility that the observable universe originated in a transition from a vacua with lower dimensionality than ours.

Dan McKinsey gives a talk at the Light Dark Matter Workshop.
