21. Angel Eseroghene Macaulay

Angel Eseroghene Macaulay (CERN)

8/8/25, 9:00 AM

Angel Macaulay is a final year Mechanical Engineering of the University of Benin, Edo State, Nigeria. She is from Ughelli south local government area Delta state Nigeria. The LHCb VR project is aimed at creating a VR representation of the LHCb cavern using a powerful platform called NVIDIA Omniverse primarily to aid outreaches and visits at LHCb site. It is a fun way of learning about LHCb...

22. Big Bang Nucleosynthesis: Deuterium Production in the Early Universe

Fatih Zgalj

8/8/25, 9:15 AM

Through the concordance model of cosmology, it is possible to predict the primordial abundances of light elements within the framework of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). These predictions agree remarkably well with observations of the primordial abundances of helium-4 and deuterium. Specifically, the deuterium abundance is strongly sensitive to nuclear reaction rates, such as...

23. Analysis of Central Diffractive Events with the CMS Precision Proton Spectrometer (PPS)

Ash Samra (University of Victoria (CA))

8/8/25, 9:30 AM

Hello! My name is Ash, I am a physics bachelors student from Canada entering my final year of studies.

In this talk, I present an analysis of central diffractive events in proton–proton collisions using the CMS Precision Proton Spectrometer (PPS). By tagging protons and reconstructing vertex positions via timing detectors, we explore a class of photon-mediated interactions in a...

25. Victor Clarizio Canelon - Characterization of new MPGD Prototypes for Application in Future Hadronic Calorimeters

Victor Clarizio Canelon

8/8/25, 10:15 AM

Hola! My name is Victor Clarizio, 29 years old and currently I'm finishing my Masters Degree in cosmic rays and high energy physics at the Universidad Central de Venezuela in Caracas, Venezuela. Also, I've been a lecturer at the very same university for about one year now. I like to go hiking, love to take pictures and sketch/paint, play football whenever I'm able to, and many other things!...

26. Lucia Barreiro Rius - Missing energy signals from b-flavored hadrons at FCCee

Lucia Barreiro Rius

8/8/25, 10:30 AM

b-flavored hadrons decaying into a final state containing missing energy are of key importance to flavor physics, particularly in searches for new physics. In this context, electron-positron colliders running at the Z peak offer key conditions to explore this type of decays due to their clean environment and also because the initial energy is known. Given the high interest on a future TeraZ...

27. Walter Jose Troiani Vargas - Use of LLM based chatbots for industrial control support

Walter Jose Troiani Vargas

8/8/25, 10:45 AM

This presentation focuses on harnessing Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance industrial control software support and reduce the onboarding complexity for first-line support users. By consolidating dispersed knowledge, we construct a centralized knowledge base, which can be used for further training or even Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques.
