DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Carlos Francisco Erice Cid (Boston University (US))\
 , Cari Cesarotti\n\nAbstractSoft unclustered energy patterns (SUEPs)\, or 
 "soft bombs\," are defined by their final state rather than by any single 
 model: a high multiplicity of low-momentum particles distributed quasi-iso
 tropically\, with no hard or collimated objects to trigger on or reconstru
 ct. The signature is a generic indicator of physics beyond the Standard Mo
 del\, arising whenever the available energy is shared democratically among
  many states --- canonically in a strongly coupled\, quasi-conformal dark 
 sector with large 't Hooft coupling\, but equally in extra-dimensional con
 structions or purely kinematically from long cascades with small mass spli
 ttings. This talk will review the theoretical picture and the accompanying
  experimental program\, which has advanced quickly: from the first CMS sea
 rch using boosted topologies and track-based sphericity\, to associated pr
 oduction with a �W or �Z\, data scouting\, and the first ATLAS search 
 targeting muon-rich final states\, which now bounds �(ℎ→SUEP)B(h→S
 UEP) at the �(10−3)O(10−3) level. Remaining gaps in parameter space 
 and prospects for Run 3 and beyond will be discussed.\nSpeakers\nCarlos Fr
 ancisco Erice Cid is an experimental physicist working as a postdoctoral r
 esearcher within Boston University CMS group. He previously worked at Univ
 ersidad de Oviedo\, where he got his PhD in 2021. His research focuses on 
 the development of new algorithms for event reconstruction in the Phase II
  of the LHC\, and the design of searches for new\, exotic signatures withi
 n the CMS experiment.\n \nCari Cesarotti is currently a fellow in CERN-TH
 . She did her PhD at Harvard and then continued on to her first postdoc at
  MIT. The focus of her research is BSM physics at colliders\, with emphasi
 s on LHC experiments as well as the reach of possible future colliders. \
