Title:Multi-Scalar-Singlet Extension of the Standard Model - the Case for Dark
Matter and an Invisible Higgs Boson.
Host: Jack Gunion
Room: 416
Abstract: We consider a simple extension of the Standard Model by the addition of N real scalar gauge singlets $\vp$ that are candidates for Dark Matter. By collecting theoretical and experimental constraints we determine the space of allowed parameters of the model. The possibility of ameliorating the little hierarchy problem within the multi-singlet model is discussed. The Spergel-Steinhardt solution of the Dark Matter density cusp problem is revisited. It is shown that fitting the recent CRESST-II data for Dark Matter nucleus scattering implies that the standard Higgs boson decays predominantly into pairs of Dark Matter scalars. It that case discovery of the Higgs boson at LHC and Tevatron is impossible. The most likely mass of the dark scalars is in the range 15 GeV $\lsim \mvp \lsim$ 50 GeV with $BR(h \to \vp\vp)$ up to 96%.

Title: Closing in on the Higgs boson
Host: Mike Mulhearn
Room: 416
Abstract:
The Standard Model describes the unification of electromagnetic and weak interactions. It has been thoroughly tested over the past forty years, and represents one of the major successes of modern physics. This theory predicted the existence and the masses of the weak bosons. The last remaining piece of the puzzle is the Higgs boson whose existence is crucial for our understanding of the origin of particle masses.
I will discuss searches for the SM Higgs boson with the D0 experiment at the Tevatron, highlighting the most important techniques. I will also draw a parallel with current and future searches at the LHC, showing what we can learn from our Tevatron experience. I will emphasize the future direction of the LHC experiments in light of a discovery consistent with the signature of the Higgs boson.

Title: Higgs Hunter's Digest
Host: John Terning
Room: 432
Abstract: I'll review recent Higgs data from the LHC and discuss ways in which model-independent conclusions can be drawn. The bottom-up thinking that goes into this can help to determine what other new physics we might anticipate finding at accessible scales, while allowing us to assess emerging proposals for the origins of the hinted Higgs-like state at 125 GeV. Using composite Higgs and the MSSM as two case studies, I'll discuss the benefits of constructing these generalized exclusions and describe some very general conclusions that they will help to illuminate with current and future data.
