Testing the seesaw mechanism at the LHC

Wednesday February 22nd, 14:00hs - Coffee room

20/02/2012 - Seminar - The Galileion

The Galileion

Monday February 20. 14:30hs - Seminar room

Speaker: Enrico Trincherini (SNS, Pisa)

Abstract:

I will first review the recently proposed theory of a scalar field invariant under an internal "galilean" symmetry, under which the field's gradient shifts by a constant.

Results from Dark Matter direct detection experiments and their interpretation

Monday January 30, 12:00hs - Seminar room

Speaker: Thomas Schwetz-Mangold (Max-Planck-Institute for Nuclear Physics)

Abstract:

Identifying the nature of the Dark Matter (DM) in our Universe is one of the major open questions in todays astroparticle physics.

Consistent MUED for the LHC

Friday January 27, 14:30hs - Seminar room

Speaker: Jesus Moreno (IFT, Madrid)

Abstract:

We revisit the Minimal Universal Extra Dimensions (MUED) model by implementing consistently both electroweak symmetry breaking and loop-corrections in five dimensions.

17/01/2012 - Seminar - Natural SUSY endures

Natural SUSY endures

Tuesday January 17, 14:30hs - Seminar room

Speaker: Michele Papucci (LBL Berkeley)

Abstract:

The first 1/fb of LHC data set impressive limits on new colored particles decaying to missing energy. I will present the implication of these searches for naturalness in supersymmetry (SUSY).

First results from the Double Chooz experiment

Monday December 19, 14:30hs - Seminar room

Speaker: Pau Novella (CIEMAT) that has been very active in the analysis of the data.

Abstract :

The Double Chooz experiment started the data taking on April 2011, operating the far detector placed 1.05 km away from the nuclear cores of the power plant of Chooz (France).

19/12/2011 - Seminar - On the factorization of the scattering of W bosons

On the factorization of the scattering of W bosons

Monday December 19, 11:45hs - Seminar room

Speaker: Roberto Franceschini (University of Maryland)

Abstract:

In this seminar I shall briefly review why the cross-section of high energy scattering processes can effectively be factorized into a hard scattering and soft emissions.
