11. Recent BSM Results from ATLAS and CMS (remote)

Michael Hank (member@upenn.edu;faculty@upenn.edu;employee@upenn.edu)

10/22/25, 11:40 AM

The Standard Model of particle physics successfully describes many known interactions, but is known to be incomplete. In this talk, recent results of searches for beyond-the-Standard-Model signatures are reported. These use up to 140 fb-1 of pp collisions collected by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at sqrt(s)=13 TeV and up to 51.8 fb-1 collected at sqrt(s)=13.6 TeV. Searches for compressed...

4. Origin of Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Rays in Binary Neutron Star Mergers, and the Fascinating Physics it Entails (remote)

Glennys Farrar

10/23/25, 10:50 AM

I will briefly review the observations of UHECRs, emphasizing what is robust and what remains uncertain and explain why a key piece of data strongly suggests that UHECRs are produced in BNS mergers. Then, I will discuss the likely acceleration mechanism and locus and explain how the spectral cutoff is determined; the no-free-parameter prediction of the cutoff energy for different nuclei agrees...
