Title: Asymmetric Dark Matter from a GeV Hidden Sector
Host: Daniel Phalen
Room: 432
Abstract: Asymmetric Dark Matter (ADM) models relate the dark matter density to the baryon asymmetry, so that a natural mass scale for ADM is around a few GeV. In existing models of ADM, this mass scale is unexplained; here we generate this GeV scale for dark matter (DM) from the weak scale via gauge kinetic mixing with a new Abelian dark force. In addition, this dark sector provides an efficient mechanism for suppressing the symmetric abundance of DM through annihilations to the dark photon. We augment this sector with a higher dimensional operator responsible for communicating the baryon asymmetry to the dark sector. Our framework also provides DM candidate for gauge mediation models. It results in a direct detection cross section of interest for current experiments: sigma less than or similar to 10^{-42} cm^2 for DM masses in the range 1 - 15 GeV.

Title: BSM searches using weak boson pair production
Host: John Terning
Room: 416
Abstract: At the upcoming generation of colliders weak boson production in association with hard jets is going to
provide insight into the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking. Modifications of electroweak
couplings and resonances that serve to unitarize longitudinal gauge boson scattering can be observed
in these channels. In addition, recent progress in jet physics has motivated until now discarded
semi-hadronic decay channels to investigate various properties of newly discovered resonances.
I report on recent work in these directions.
