6 Searches of Dark Matter signals with the ATLAS detector at the LHC: Present and future¶

Particle Physics Seminar in Building 510

ABSTRACT:

In this seminar, I will present an overview of up-to-date results on searches for Dark Matter signals with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using Run 2 data. Comparison with non-accelerator DM results as well as interpretation within some theoretical models will be discussed. In addition, expectation from the high-luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) DM searches program will be briefly presented. Finally, I will talk about the new ATLAS High Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD), planned for the phase 2 upgrade program for the HL-LHC run, and it performances for physics studies.

Speaker: Dr Rachid Mazini (Academia Sinica)

BNL Tour of Stats and Physics using Mathematica on Raspberry Pi - Topics.jpg

During this workshop educators will conduct several short experiments using Wolfram's Mathematica running on Raspberry Pi devices. The exercises will cover several advanced high school statistics, probability, and physics topics. The goal is to provide sample demonstrations that the educators can bring back to their home institutions to show students as part of an existing curriculum. Teachers will create interactive and graphical examples using the powerful Mathematica language that is freely available on every Raspberry Pi.
