Brookhaven Forum 2025: Launching the Second Century of Quantum Physics

→ US/Eastern
Description

The quest for new physics continues. As high energy physics and cosmology presses forward on multiple fronts, the BF2025 program will explore new cutting edge directions in experimental searches, theoretical calculations, and phenomenological efforts.

        Recent BSM Results from ATLAS and CMS (remote)

        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 electroweak supersymmetry, displaced jets, and new scalar resonances will be highlighted.

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

        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 well with observations. Unique predictions which can be confirmed within a decade or so, are that neutrinos above a PeV are preceded by a co-directional gravitational wave arriving about a day earlier, and that the highest energy cosmic rays originated from r-process nuclei and are heavier than iron.

        Wave Dark Matter

        We will discuss the possibility that dark matter is composed of particles lighter than about 10 eV, the prime example being an axion or axion-like-particle. In this case, the dark matter galaxy halo is best thought of as a set of waves. The astrophysical consequences, and the experimental implications for axion detection, will be discussed.
