US-ATLAS Education and Outreach

→ US/Eastern
Abebe Kebede Bahiru (North Carolina A&T), Ashot Gasparian (North Carolina A&T), Ketevi Adikle Assamagan (BNL), Sarah Demers (Yale U.)
Description

The ATLAS Experiment is a worldwide effort with over 3000 physicists and engineers - with a strong participation from 45 US universities and national labs (US-ATLAS) - at the CERN international laboratory located in Geneva, Switzerland. The project aims to improve our understanding of the Universe - its birth, evolution, current state, and future. The research offers a wide range of practical applications and educational opportunities. This event will serve as an informal introduction to ATLAS research and discuss US-ATLAS programs that new students and university groups can get involved in.

Although the primary target is Under Represented Minority (URM) students, this workshop is also of interest to a broader audience, from URM undergraduate students, to potential graduate student/postdoc/faculty mentors, and anyone interested in providing further inputs to a coordinated plan for attracting URMs.

Students with a minimum of 3 year university education may apply for 8-week summer research program a US-ATLAS institute, here https://indico.bnl.gov/event/14122/

      Colloquium — Using the Higgs boson to search for dark sector particles 45m

      Abstract:

      The discovery of the Higgs boson has enabled a new and rich experimental program that includes using the Higgs boson to search for new particles. In this talk, I will discuss searches for dark sector particles in the decays of the Higgs Boson and the prospects for future LHC runs.

      Speaker: Dr Kétévi Adiklè Assamagan (BNL)
