GD.00001: Recent Results from the CMS Experiment Invited Speaker: Darin Acosta The CMS experiment has recorded 25 inverse femtobarns of integrated luminosity in the first three years of operation of the LHC at proton-proton center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, providing a rich dataset for precision measurements and new particle searches at the high energy frontier.~The latest measurements of the properties of the~newly observed boson at a mass of 125 GeV will be reported, as well as searches for the Higgs boson in additional decay channels. This report also will cover~searches for evidence of Supersymmetry and other exotic phenomena using the full dataset. ~Finally, recent precision Standard Model measurements and searches for rare decay processes such as B$^{\mathrm{0}}\to \mu^{\mathrm{+}}\mu^{\mathrm{-}}$ will be reported.

GD.00002: Recent Results from the ALICE Experiment Invited Speaker: Kenneth Read The ALICE Experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) pursues a comprehensive program of measurements of high energy heavy ion collisions in order to extend our understanding of QCD and the novel properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions. ALICE is the dedicated general purpose heavy ion experiment which measures the properties of $Pb+Pb$, $p+p$, and (new in 2013) $p+Pb$ collisions at LHC energies. We explore the broad range of recent ALICE physics results with selected theoretical comparisons. [Preview Abstract] |

GD.00003: The ATLAS Detector at the LHC: Prospects for an Encore to the Higgs Discovery Invited Speaker: Mark Kruse We summarise what we have learnt from the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider up until the LHC shutdown that started earlier this year. When the LHC turns back on in 2015 at almost twice the center-of-mass energy many new possibilities will open up for further discoveries. We review some of these possibilities and what they will mean for our understanding of the universe. [Preview Abstract] |

GD.00004: Results from the LHC: A Theory Perspective Invited Speaker: Christopher Carone A major success of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during its first few years of operation was the discovery of a single Higgs boson, a particle consistent in every way with the expectations of the Standard Model. Aside from this, no new particles, interactions or unexpected phenomena have been discovered. In this talk, I present a theoretical perspective on these results. In particular, I will discuss the impact of the LHC data on the viability of more complicated models of the Higgs sector, as well as theories that aim to alleviate the fine-tuning required to keep the Higgs boson mass much smaller than the scale of quantum gravity. These include models with supersymmetry and extra space-time dimensions. [Preview Abstract] |
