      Top Reconstruction Techniques in 0-Lepton Direct Stop Searches
      A brief overview of my project dealing with top quark reconstructions from hadronic (3 jet) decays. I will also discuss the importance of this reconstruction algorithm to my working group, SUSY, and the general public.
      Speaker: Anthony Kremin
      Slides

      Analysis Flow at the LHC
      An introduction into the work that I will be doing this summer at CERN explained in parallel with basic steps of carrying out an analysis.
      Speaker: Kristina Krylova
      Slides
    • 10
      Razor Analysis of R-Parity Conserving SUSY Decays
      Speaker: Ksheerasagar Vijay
      Slides
    • 11
      ALICE Physics Selection Quality Assurance
      The ALICE experiment uses a low level offline physics selection to check that all events passed by the triggers for saving are operating correctly. The code used for quality assurance has been in constant evolution and needs serious restructuring.
      Speaker: Kevin McDermott
      Slides
    • 12
      Reconstruction of the Single Top
      Brief introduction to the motivations behind the CMS experiment, and more specifically, looking at the single top quark, produced primarily through electroweak interactions in the t-channel decay at the energies obtained within the LHC detector.
      Speaker: Kelvin Mei

      Studies of Same Sign WW Vector Boson Scattering at the ATLAS Experiment
      The SM theory is based on gauge symmetries and it predicts that all particles to be massless without EWSB. We need to figure out the source for the EWSB mechanism studying the backgrounds in these case the W+W+ one.
      Speaker: Ms Diana Paola Perea Palacios

      Scintillating Fiber Detector for AEgIS Antihydrogen Trap
      A discussion of the steps in the construction of an annihilation detector, using scintillating fiber, for the AEgIS experiment.
      Speaker: Joseph Redford
