12:30 Visible and Invisible Clues for New Physics - Hooman Davoudiasl (Brookhaven National Laboratory)
Visible and Invisible Clues for New Physics
- Hooman Davoudiasl (Brookhaven National Laboratory)
12:30 - 13:45
Room: Small Seminar Room In this presentation, we will briefly describe the main elements of the Standard Model of particle physics. This theory, together with General Relativity, provides a precise description of a vast array of experimental and observational data, from microscopic to astronomical scales. However, solid empirical evidence and conceptual clues lead us to expect that this "standard" picture is incomplete. We will discuss some of the key reasons for this expectation.

Basics of Neutrino Interactions in Matter
- Milind Diwan (BNL)
00:30 - 01:45
Room: Small Seminar Room I will review the basics of neutrino interactions in matter with emphasis on calculations of cross sections and rates. The lecture will provide introduction to the physics of weak interactions.

12:30 Search for a new particle in the decay of the Higgs boson - Ketevi Adikle Assamagan (BNL)
Search for a new particle in the decay of the Higgs boson
- Ketevi Adikle Assamagan (BNL)
12:30 - 13:45
Room: Small Seminar Room In this talk, I will discuss the search strategies that led to the discovery of the Higgs boson. Then, I will focus on the usage of the Higgs boson as a portal to “new physics”. I will conclude with dark sector states as a possibility for physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.

12:30 Astronomical CCDs and light-sensitive sensors for fast imaging - Andrei Nomerotski (BNL)
Astronomical CCDs and light-sensitive sensors for fast imaging
- Andrei Nomerotski (BNL)
12:30 - 13:45
Room: Small Seminar Room I will review how the state-of-the-art sensors developed for astronomical applications can precisely measure the positions and shapes of billions of galaxies. The talk will focus on the camera and sensors for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) and will discuss limitations on the achievable precision coming from the instrumentation. I will also discuss light sensitive sensors which can be used for fast imaging of single photons in QIS and other applications.
