Thursday 16 Jun 2022, 14:00 → 16:00 Europe/Zurich

Vidyo meeting (CERN)

Albert De Roeck (CERN), Carlos Vazquez Sierra (CERN), Dave Casper (University of California Irvine (US)), Emma Torro Pastor (Univ. of Valencia and CSIC (ES)), Federico Leo Redi (CERN), James Pinfold (University of Alberta (CA)), Javier Montejo Berlingen (CERN), José Francisco Zurita (IFIC - Univ. of Valencia and CSIC (ES)), Juliette Alimena (CERN), Michelangelo Mangano (CERN), Nishita Desai (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research)

 

 

14:00 → 14:10 Discussion of semi-visible jets workshop (July 5-7)

• From Juliette: Is there anything we need to discuss about that? Nishita said she was already going - anyone else interested? If not, Nishita, do you think you should be there as the WG representative?

• From Nishita: I don’t mind being the representative, but I don’t think any specific input is needed from the WG yet. If we do decide to have a Dark Shower (DS) white paper or subgroup, we will of course include most of the people in this workshop anyway. So I suppose one of the things to discuss among convenors would be whether more DS work is desirable for the experiments.

14:10 → 14:30 Review of WG achievements and other activities

• Trigger white paper

• meeting with DMWG, talk at IDMEu

• From Nishita: I think there should be another discussion with the DMWG anyway because they seem very focussed on self-interacting DM now which overlaps with the DS group too. While we don’t need their permission to work on the same stuff, it might help to have a chat reduce double work.

14:30 → 14:50 Vision for the next two years

• Where do we want to focus, what we would like to achieve?

• From Jose: three big topics dwelling around are Reinterpretations, Heavy Neutral Leptons, and Dark Showers.

• So far we have mostly focused on the older/big experiments… do any of the newer/small ones have concrete needs?

14:50 → 14:55 Other business/A.O.B.

• To be discussed at a later, hybrid meeting: Followup of summary plots discussion - discuss benchmarks & presentation of results

• Giovanna: I created this drive so we can use it to centralise information /outputs of discussions:
