The XENON1T detector, currently under construction at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory, will contain 3200kg of liquid xenon. A liquid noble element detector needs to be calibrated to understand its responses to both electronic and nuclear recoils. The additional volume of XENON1T poses new opportunities and new challenges. The greater volume makes it possible to use neutron double...

EDELWEISS-III is a direct dark matter search program looking for WIMPs using cryogenic germanium bolometers. A system of electrodes produces a homogeneous electric field in the inner region of the germanium crystals. The simultaneous readout of the heat increase and the ionization signal from scattered particles allows the discrimination of germanium nuclei recoils from electron recoils. For a...

A neutral vector boson, dubbed shadow $Z'$, which stems from a hidden $U(1)_s$ gauge sector can weakly couple
to the standard model fermions through the kinematic mixing between the $U(1)_s$ and the hypercharge $U(1)_Y$.
If the shadow $Z'$ is light, $< m_Z$, it can easily evade all collider constraint as long as the kinematic mixing
term is small. We study the feasibility of probing...

A principle is proposed that relates probability to geometry. That principle is then used to motivate the introduction of nonlinear differential operators on spacetime manifolds. Such operators are difficult to handle mathematically, hence a geometric interpretation of the Universal Covering Group for tensors is undertaken. The principle can then be understood as equivalent to a Lagrangian of...

The mysterious Galactic Center is an interesting region with frequent flaring activities from the radio to X-ray bands. However, VHE flux always remains steady. In 2012, a gas cloud G2 was discovered to be travelling straight to the GC. It is expected to pass the pericenter in 2014. During pericenter passage, it will be so closed to the GC that it will be completely disintegrated by the black...

The gamma-ray excess observed from the Galactic Center can be interpreted as dark matter particles annihilating into Standard Model fermions with a cross section near that expected for a thermal relic. Although many particle physics models have been shown to be able to account for this signal, the fact that this particle has not yet been observed in direct detection experiments somewhat...

The Large Area Telescope on the *Fermi* Gamma-ray Space Telescope has a point spread function with large tails, consisting of events affected by tracker inefficiencies, inactive volumes, and hard scattering; these tails can make source confusion a limiting factor. The parameter CTBCORE, available in the publicly available Extended *Fermi* LAT data, estimates the quality of each event's...

We propose that if there is a massive scalar field oscillating at its vacuum during the slow-roll inflation, its settlement will distort the primordial power spectrum from the simple power law. At the scales which exit the Hubble radius during the oscillation, the power of curvature perturbations oscillates on top of the nearly scale-invariant spectrum. Assuming that the last stage of...

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will use a 3.2 Gigapixel CCD camera to conduct a deep ($M_r < 27.5$) wide-field survey of the Southern sky in six optical bands (u, g, r, i, z, and y) over 10 years. The science drivers of the survey, particularly precision measurements of weak lensing, place tight constraints on camera performance in terms of both photometry and galaxy shape...

In this talk we'll study the existence of black holes with non-canonical scalar fields as matter source and prove a simple no-hair theorem which rules out the existence of stationary, asymptotically flat black holes possessing scalar hair for a wide class of such models. This applies in particular to K-essence theories like the ghost condensate model, and large sectors of the dilatonic ghost...

We solve numerically the Einstein equations in spherical symmetry for a system of two coupled real scalar fields that exhibits spontaneous symmetry breaking,
and where one of the fields, initially massless, acquires an effective mass due to the coupling. We study first the evolution of the homogeneous fields, and then we add
Gaussian pulses in one of them. We find the evolution of the...

For Run 2 of the LHC a fourth, innermost Pixel Detector layer on a smaller radius beam pipe has been installed in the ATLAS Detector to add redundancy against radiation damage of the current Pixel Detector and to ensure a high quality tracking and b-tagging performance of the Inner Detector over the coming years until the High Luminosity Upgrade. State of the art components have been produced...

We present a model with universal extra dimensions in the presence of boundary localized kinetic terms for electoroweak gauge bosons. This model can realize that the lightest Kaluza-Klein particle is a mixture of KK $B^{1}$ and KK $W_{3}^{1}$. Depending on boundary localized parameter ($r_{B},r_{W}$) the KK dark matter is more like KK $Z$ or KK photon. We showed current bounds on...

Self-interacting dark matter, especially bosonic, has been considered a promising candidate to replace cold dark matter (CDM) as it resolves some of the problems associated with CDM. Here, we rule out the possibility that dark matter is a repulsive boson in thermal equilibrium. We develop the model first proposed by Goodman in 2000 and derive the equation of state at finite temperature....

The dijet final state at high transverse momentum probes the highest energies reached in a collider experiment. This corresponds to the largest reach in mass for the production of new particles, but also to resolving the smallest distances. Several phenomena described by models of physics beyond the Standard Model could be seen in the angular and mass distributions of dijets. This poster shows...

The XENON1T detector is a dual-phase time projection chamber with a
total of 3200kg of liquid xenon to search for dark matter. XENON1T is
currently under construction at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory

and a background more than two orders of magnitude below that of
XENON100, the XENON1T experiment will be able...
