Title: Non-Abelian Dark Matter and Dark Radiation
Host: Markus Luty
Room: 432
Abstract: I present a new model of WIMP dark matter in which dark matter is charged under a super-weakly coupled non-Abelian gauge group. The massless dark gluons of this dark gauge group contribute to the energy density of the universe as a form of dark radiation. I discuss experimental signatures of the dark matter (collider, direct, indirect) and dark radiation (CMB). In addition, the coupling between our dark matter and dark radiation has an impact on large scale structure formation. Interestingly, this coupling can remove the tension (2-3 sigma) between Planck's fit to the CMB and direct observations of large scale structure (sigma_8).

Title: Science from the south pole: using cosmic sources to test quantum entanglement
Host: Terning
Room: Roessler 55
Abstract: I'll discuss a practical scheme to use photons from causally disconnected cosmic sources to set the detectors in an
experimental test of Bell's inequality. In current experiments,
only a small amount of correlation between detector settings
could mimic the predictions of quantum mechanics. By choosing the measurement basis using pairs of quasars or patches of the Cosmic Microwave Background, observed violations of Bell's inequality would require any such coordination to have existed for billions of years --- an improvement of 20 orders of magnitude.

Title: New Challenges and Opportunities for the LHC in Run 2
Host: Terning
Room: 432
Abstract: As we move into Run 2 of the LHC, more adventurous measurements and more precise measurements are both needed. I will discuss one example of each type. First I will reconsider how "dark" naturalness, as in the twin Higgs and related models, can imply some of the challenging signals that were discussed last decade but have as yet received limited study at the LHC. Then I will show how combining LHC measurements in suitable ways can significantly reduce theoretical errors, potentially allowing greater sensitivity to new phenomena.

Title: CAPTAIN: Navigating the ocean of uncertainty in liquid argon neutrino experiments
Host: Svoboda
Room: 432
Abstract:
The Cryogenic Apparatus for Precision Tests of Argon Interactions with Neutrinos (CAPTAIN) program is designed to make measurements of scientific importance to long-baseline neutrino physics and physics topics that will be explored by large underground detectors. To address the challenges facing future long-baseline detectors, the CAPTAIN collaboration is commissioning two liquid Argon time projections chambers (LArTPCs), which will be positioned in particle beams over the next few years. This talk will give an overview of the physics importance of the CAPTAIN program and detail recent efforts to understand neutrino-Argon interactions at energies less than 70 MeV. Potential implications for supernova neutrino triggering and energy reconstructing in LArTPCs will be discussed.
