Title: What do precision Higgs measurements buy us
Host: Yuhsin Tsai
Room: 432
Abstract: The exciting discovery of the Higgs boson finally gives us a chance to experimentally probe all of its unnatural and mysterious properties. At the forefront of questions is whether or not there is new physics beyond the Standard Model that explain these unnatural and mysterious properties. This talk examines the sensitivities of future precision Higgs measurements and electroweak observables in probing BSM physics. Using effective field theory--appropriate since precision measurements are indirect probes of new physics--we examine well-motivated test cases. One of these test cases is a tree-level example due to a singlet scalar field that enables the first-order electroweak phase transition for baryogenesis. Another is a one-loop example due to scalar top in the MSSM. We find both Higgs and electroweak measurements are sensitive probes of these cases.

Title: Closing the Stop Gap in the Multilepton Channel
Room: 432
Abstract: While SUSY is becoming more constrained by recent data from the LHC, there is still hope for natural SUSY in light stop scenarios. The stealth stop region can be probed for a class of models that allow for sbottom-mediated stop production. We examine the parameter space for this class of models and their discoverability with basic cut-and-count searches at the LHC.

Title: Relativistically closed systems and the spacetime of an evaporating black hole
Host: Albrecht
Room: 432
Abstract: I will report on work-in-progress on a program that attempts to describe relativistic systems in a consistent way by considering only "closed" systems to which we can ascribe unitary evolution. Such systems might extend to a full universe but can be much smaller (and have an associated horizon), and be finite or unending in duration. As an application and for its own sake, we apply this mode of thinking to an evaporating black hole, in an effort to produce both a maximally representative conformal spacetime diagram, and toward a self-consistent and intuitive description of the evaporation process including a more precise and general understanding of complementarity.

Title:The GAPS Experiment and Indirect Dark Matter Detection
Host: Emilija Pantic
Room: 432
Abstract: There are many current searches for WIMP dark matter: direct, production, and indirect. The combination of all three offer a large amount of complementarity in probing parameter space. A particularly promising indirect search can be performed by the General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS). A number of very exciting dark matter candidates are predicted to produce an excess of antideuterons in the cosmic rays arriving at Earth. GAPS has unprecedented sensitivity to cosmic ray antideuterons (and very good antiproton sensitivity) in the energy regime of interest (<200 GeV/n).
