Ten years have passed since the discovery of the Higgs Boson back in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), in that time the properties of single Higgs production has been extensively probed and has all shown to be in an astounding agreement with the Standard Model (SM) and as a result no new physics. However due its significantly lower cross section the pair production of the Higgs boson...
The MoEDAL experiment deployed at IP8 on the LHC ring was the first dedicated search experiment to take data at the LHC in 2010. It was designed to search for Highly Ionizing Particle (HIP) avatars of new physics such as magnetic monopoles, dyons, Q-balls, multiply charged particles, massive slowly moving charged particles and long-lived massive charge SUSY particles. An upgrade to MoEDAL,...
Although Long Lived Particles (LLPs) are predicted in many models of physics beyond the Standard Model, general purpose accelerator-based experiments are limited in their ability to directly detect them, as they typically decay outside of the tracking acceptance of the detectors. While "missing energy" searches are possible, these are limited in scope by resolution effects and high background...
Upgrading the SuperKEKB e+e− collider with polarized electron beams is under consideration as it opens a new program of precision electroweak physics at the $\Upsilon(4S)$. This Chiral Belle physics program includes determining $\sin^2\theta_W$ via separate left-right asymmetry ($A_{LR}$) measurements in $e^+e^−$ annihilations to pairs of electrons, muons, taus, charm and b-quarks using the...
