B02.00001: New results on the Higgs boson Invited Speaker: Caterina Vernieri The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's most energetic particle accelerator. During its first run (2009-2012), the ATLAS and CMS experiments discovered the Higgs boson. This discovery marked a historical milestone in the study of fundamental particles and their interactions. Experimental particle physicists at the LHC are now measuring its properties, which are essential to build a deep understanding of the Higgs sector of the Standard Model and to potentially uncover new phenomena. The Higgs boson can be used as a discovery tool assuming new physics will couple preferentially with the electroweak sector. This talk highlights some of the most recent results on the Higgs boson studies with the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC, using proton-proton collision data at centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected during 2015-2018.

B02.00002: Searches for Long-lived Particles at the LHC Invited Speaker: Lawrence Lee The LHC program of searching for physics beyond the standard model has only yielded a panoply of exclusions. Increased attention has been placed on signatures of long-lived particles that don’t promptly decay as assumed in most data analyses. While such signatures can be very well motivated, they present serious experimental challenges from object reconstruction inefficiencies to computational limitations and the lack of useful standard candles. An overview of the topic and a summary of recent highlights in this program will be presented. [Preview Abstract] |

B02.00003: Physics Beyond the Standard Model at the LHC Invited Speaker: Eva Halkiadakis The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the CERN laboratory is the world's most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC has had a successful and highly productive Run 2 era (2015-2018), colliding protons with a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV, and breaking data-taking records by collecting an unprecedented amount of data at these high energies. The LHC experiments have an extensive program of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model, exploring uncharted territory at the energy frontier. I will present highlights of the LHC program of new physics searches using the 13 TeV data in Run 2. [Preview Abstract] |
