Title: Searching for Peculiar Top-like events at CDF and ATLAS
Host: Mike Mulhearn
Room: 416
The Tevatron and LHC have produced large samples of top-quark events. An impressively broad program of analysis has tested nearly every aspect of these events, to verify the Standard Model nature of the top quark, yielding no surprises other than the top-quark foward-backward asymmetry. But there remain important unexplored opportunities. Inspired by models designed to explain Afb, I will discuss studies of unexplored experimental signatures inside WWbb+jet events, which mimic the top quark signature and may be hiding inside the top quark sample. I will present the first search for top+jet resonances, the first search to use boosted hadronic W bosons, new same-sign top quark limits, new heavy quark limits, and discuss ttbar+jet resonances, as well as the possibility that Higgs cascades could be hiding inside WWbb events.

Title: Multileptonic triggering and searches at CMS
Host: Maxwell Chertok
Room: 416
I will review Supersymmetric particle and Standard Model Higgs boson searches in high energy physics last year. Then I will describe how trigger and Data Quality Monitoring system are used at the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at CERN.
The trend in trigger menu development will be discussed in detail. One of main focuses of this talk is the work can be done by graduate students.

Title: The Physics Potential of 3 TeV e+e- CLIC
Host: Jack Gunion
Room: 432
Abstract: CLIC is an e+e- collider with maximum energy of 3 TeV. It is currently under consideration as a future facility by the particle physics community. Recently a conceptual design report has been completed by the project, which among other goals, aims to elucidate the physics potential of the machine. I will present some of the highlights of the physics potential that have come out of this study.

Title: Application of highly resistive material for particle detection
Host: Chertok
Room: 416
Highly resistive materials (resistivity about 10^10 ohm cm) are used to make resistive electrodes of some detectors in particle physics. These detectors can be tuned to achieve a timing resolution of about 1 nanosecond, good enough to trigger high energy muons. With narrow gas gaps, the timing resolution is improved by a factor of 100, good enough to identify particles by time of flight. With finer division of the electrode, the spatial resolution of these detectors is improved by one order of magnitude over wire chambers, good for tracking in high rates.
The development of these detectors, Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC), multi-gap RPC and Resistive Micropattern Detectors, in particle physics will be presented in this talk.

Title: NEW DIRECTIONS FOR NEUTRINO PHYSICS USING NON-CRYOGENIC LIQUID TRACKING
DETECTORS
Host: Svoboda
Room: 416
Abstract: The neutrino physics community faces stark technological tradeoffs between
conventional detectors that offer large target volumes but poor
resolution, and advanced, high resolution detector systems with limited
scalability. In this talk, I present a third way. By fundamentally
reinventing the photodetector, it becomes possible to develop
high-resolution Water Cherenkov (WC) or scintillation-based neutrino
detectors capable of more complete event reconstruction using precision
measurements of the positions and drift times of optical photons. I will
give a brief overview of the Large Area Picosecond Photodetector (LAPPD)
project, an effort to develop compact, microchannel plate (MCP)
photomultiplier tubes capable of sub-millimeter, sub-nanosecond spatial
resolutions and with potential for scalability to large experiments. I
will also discuss steps taken towards the construction of experimental
LAPPD-based neutrino detectors, and the potential applications for such
detector systems in answering the important questions of neutrino
physics.
