Title: Heavy Vector Triplets: Bridging Theory and Data
Room: 432
Abstract: I introduce a model-independent strategy to study narrow resonances which I apply to a heavy vector triplet of the Standard Model group for illustration. The method is based on a simplified phenomenological Lagrangian which reproduces a large class of explicit models. This allows me to derive robust phenomenological features and to identify the peculiarities of different explicit realizations. Limits on cross section times BR can be converted into bounds on a few relevant parameters in a fully analytic way, allowing for an interpretation in any given explicit model. I point out that a model-independent procedure to set limits must be based on purely on-shell quantities. Finite width effects altering the limits can be considerably reduced by focusing on the on-shell signal region.

Title: Fermion Portal Dark Matter
Host: Yuhsin Tsai
Room: 432
Abstract: I discuss a class of simplified dark matter models in which dark matter couples directly with a mediator and a SM fermion. This class of Fermion Portal dark matter models has very rich phenomenology in collider searches, as well as in direct and indirect detection experiments, while allowing for self-consistent comparison of the sensitivities of various search strategies. I present the current experimental constraints on the model parameter space for Dirac fermion, Majorana fermion and complex scalar dark matter cases of the Fermion Portal framework for both light quark and charged lepton couplings. I also discuss prospects for future experiments to study these models.

Title: Towards Precision Radio Detection of Cosmic Ray Showers with ANITA-3
Host: Mulhearn
Room: 432
Abstract: Every day hundreds of cosmic rays arrive at Earth traveling at nearly the speed of light, with energies many orders of magnitude beyond the energies produced by our own particle accelerators. Such energetic particles carry information about the most powerful accelerators in the universe, and their precise origin remains an outstanding question. These exceptional cosmic rays may be detected by training radio antennas on large swaths of dielectric material, such as the Antarctic ice sheets, as will be done with the upcoming ANITA-3 long duration balloon flight. In this talk, I will describe a recent test beam experiment, T-510 at SLAC, that calibrates the radio emission coming from cosmic ray air showers, thereby setting the energy scale for ANITA.

Title: Dark Matter Searches at the LHC
Host: John Conway
Room: 432
Abstract: After the discovery of a Higgs particle at the Large Hadron Collider, a next challenge will be the hunt for Dark Matter. There is convincing evidence that baryonic matter is only a small fraction of the matter in the Universe, and about five times less than the amount of so called Dark Matter. The most popular assumption for the nature of Dark Matter is that of a weakly interaction massive particle (WIMP). Here we will review the opportunities for the hunt for Dark Matter Wimps at the LHC with the ATLAS and CMS experiments. Signatures that have been used to search for Dark Matter include: the search for supersymmetry; the search for mono jets, mono-photons and other mono-objects; and the study of possible invisible decays of the Higgs particle. An overview will be given of the recent experimental results and their interpretation, and outlook will be given for the upcoming 14 TeV run at the LHC .
