H02.00001: CMS Status, Results & Prospects Invited Speaker: Francisco X Yumiceva The CMS experiment has produced a large number of results using the data collected in proton-proton collisions at the LHC at CERN. One of the most significant results has been the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. Since then, the properties of this particle and other fundamental particles have been measured precisely. No deviations from the theory, the standard model, have been observed and strong constraints in models of new physics have been placed. In this presentation, only a sample of those results will be discussed. The LHC and the CMS experiment are being upgraded to operate at even higher luminosities which will be a factor of 5-7 times higher than the current one. This would open the possibility to discover new physics. |

H02.00002: Heavy Ion Collisions: An Overview of Experimental Measurements of the Quark Gluon Plasma Invited Speaker: Megan E Connors High-energy heavy ion collisions create a hot dense medium known as the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Quarks and gluons, which are normally confined within protons and neutrons, behave as free particles in the QGP. Quantifying the properties of the QGP provides insight for understanding the nuclear strong force and quantum chromodynamics under extreme conditions. Results from experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and their interpretation will be presented. |

H02.00003: ATLAS experiment: Status, Results & Prospects Invited Speaker: Swagato Banerjee Highlights of ATLAS results are presented as the Run2 data-taking period at 13 TeV comes to a close in 2018. As the experiment prepares for the next two phases of the detector upgrade in 2019-2020 (phase I) and 2024-2026 (phase II) in order to cope with harsher high luminosity environment in future data taking periods, prospects for the main physics goals are reviewed. |
