  1. 97. SuperCDMS: Results on low mass WIMPs and future perspectives
    David G. Cerdeno (University of Durham)
    04/12/2014, 16:35
    The SuperCDMS experiment attempts to detect WIMP dark matter particles through their elastic scattering off Ge nuclei. The simultaneous measurement of the energy deposited in ionization and phonons allows for an excellent discrimination of nuclear recoils (expected from WIMP interactions) versus electron recoils (due to background events). The current experimental setup features new detectors...

  2. 100. ADMX Results on Axion Searches
    Edward Daw (The University of Sheffield)
    04/12/2014, 17:05
    I present a progress report on the direct search for dark matter axions with ADMX upgraded with low noise RF SQUID amplifiers and cryogenics. Axions are a well motivated candidate to explain the discrepancy between the observed baryonic matter density and that inferred from precision measurements of the microwave background anisotropy, gravitational lensing, and the dynamics of spiral...

  3. 40. Recent results from ALICE and future prospects
    Lee Barnby (University of Birmingham (GB))
    04/12/2014, 17:30
    During the first LHC run the ALICE experiment collected data from pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collision systems. A selection of recent results will be presented, including those which focus on characterisation of the deconfined system formed in heavy-ion collisions. The future prospects for Run 2 and for the upgrade of ALICE beyond that will also be discussed.

  4. 27. Latest results from CUORE-0 and status of CUORE
    Kevin Hickerson (UCLA)
    04/12/2014, 18:05
    Aiming to discover neutrinoless double beta decay from $^{130}$Te, the CUORE experiment continues to make progress at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS). CUORE-0, a 1/19 mass replica of CUORE, is a 52 bolometer array that continues to take data providing validation for the methods and strategies undertaken for CUORE. We will present the latest results from CUORE-0 and ...

  5. 106. Non-SUSY BSM Searches: Recent Results from ATLAS & CMS
    Fairouz Malek (LPSC-Grenoble , CNRS-IN2P3 (FR))
    04/12/2014, 18:35
    The Standard Model of particle physics is a sensational success, especially since the discovery the 125 GeV Higgs boson. However, there are still numerous unanswered questions… Why is the Higgs so light? Do the interactions couplings unify and how can gravity be included? Why three fermion generations? What is dark matter? Theories Beyond the Standard Model (BSM), such as Grand Unified...

  6. 179. Axiverse-induced dark radiation problem
    Chakrit Pongkitivanichkul (King's College London)
    04/12/2014, 19:05
    String theory suggests that cosmology is populated by many light pseudoscalar axions (an ``Axiverse" scenario). Their presence in early universe give rise to dark radiation, non-standard model contribution to radiation imprinted onto Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Due to complexity of string compactification, it is natural to expect number of axions to be several hundreds up to thousands....
