Travel information

To get to Geilo, take the train from Oslo or Bergen to Geilo train station. For international travelers it is recommended to fly  to Oslo Gardermoen or Bergen Flesland arriving on Sunday the 14th of December and then take a train to Geilo. The train trip takes ca. 3.5 hours and is following the scenic Oslo-Bergen train route. There are non-expensive flights to Oslo by Norwegian.no from many places in the world. There is a convenient KLM connection from Geneva via Amsterdam to either Oslo or Bergen:

Flying to Bergen: On Sunday, e.g. KLM from Amsterdam arrives at Bergen airport at 13.20, and the train leaves from Bergen city centre at 15.59. On Wednesday, the train leaves from Geilo at 11.57 and arrives at Bergen city centre at 14.59. KLM to Amsterdam leaves from Bergen Airport at 17.20.

Flying to Oslo: On Sunday, e.g KLM from Amsterdam arrives at Oslo airport at 12.10, and the train to Geilo leaves from Oslo Central Station at 15.25. On Wednesday, the train leaves from Geilo at 10.56 and arrives at Oslo Central Station at 14.45. The KLM flight to Amsterdam leaves at 17.15.

There are of course many other possibilities to fly to Oslo or Bergen as well, flying with SAS or Norwegian.no, or with KLM directly from e.g. Paris CDG to Oslo.

The connection between Bergen Airport Flesland and the train station can be realized by the airport bus (around 25min, every 15min), which stops 50m from the train station, or with a taxi (around 20min).
From Oslo Airport Gardermoen there is a normal train as well as an Airport train leaving to Oslo Central Station, from where the train to Geilo leaves. Train tickets to Geilo can be booked here.
 

Follow the scenic train route from Bergen to Oslo on YouTube. Geilo is close to half way.

        Overview of SM Higgs measurements at CMS and constraints on DM from Higgs searches 20m
        An overview of Higgs boson results from CMS is presented using pp collision data collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV corresponding to integrated luminosities of 5/fb and 20/fb respectively. The combination of the coupling results of all Higgs boson decay channels measured at CMS is presented with various fits looking for deviations of the couplings from the Standard Model predictions. Measurement of Higgs boson mass from combination of 4-lepton and $\gamma\gamma$ channel is presented. Studies of the Higgs boson spin and parity are presented using data samples corresponding to the $\gamma \gamma$, $ZZ$, and $WW$ decay channels. The data are compared to the expectations for a Standard Model Higgs boson, and for several alternative models. Constraints on the total Higgs boson width, $\Gamma_H$, are presented using off-shell production and decay in the ZZ channel. The analyses are carried out in the ZZ to 4-lepton and to 2-lepton-2-neutrino channels, and constraints on the Higgs boson width are obtained. A search for Higgs boson invisible decay modes has been carried out in events where the Higgs boson is produced in association with a $Z$ boson as well as through Vector Boson Fusion. In the associated production search, electron, muon and $b$-quark pair decay modes of the $Z$-boson are considered. No evidence of a signal has been found and upper limits on the invisible branching ratio are obtained and interpreted in a Higgs portal model of dark matter interactions.

        Overview of BSM Higgs measurements at LHC, and prospects for the LHC high Energy run 40m
        After the discovery at the LHC in 2012 of a scalar boson with a mass of 125 GeV, which has been found to be an ideal Higgs boson candidate, it is fundamental to understand not only the properties of such particle, but the structure of the whole Higgs sector itself. Several SM extensions (BSM models) predict the existence of additional Higgs bosons which should also couple to the SM particles, hence several searches for additional scalar, pseudoscalar, neutral and charged Higgses are ongoing at the LHC. In this talk are presened the recent results from the ATLAS and CMS experiments in the search for BSM Higgses using the data collected at 7 TeV and 8 TeV and the prospects for the upcoming data-taking runs, starting in 2015.

        Extending 2HDM by a singlet scalar field - the case for dark matter 20m
        We extend the two-Higgs doublet models of Type I and Type II by adding a real gauge-singlet scalar $S$ which is the Dark Matter (DM) candidate (2HDMS models). We impose theoretical constraints derived from perturbativity, stability, unitarity and correct electroweak symmetry breaking and require that the lightest CP-even Higgs, $h$, fit the LHC data for the $\sim 125.5$ GeV state at the $68\%$~C.L. after including existing constraints from LEP and $B$ physics and LHC limits on the heavier Higgs bosons. We find that these models are easily consistent with the LUX and SuperCDMS limits on DM-Nucleon scattering and the observed DM abundance for $S$ masses above about $55$ GeV. At lower $m_S$, the situation is more delicate. For points with $m_S$ in the $6-25$ GeV range corresponding to the CDMS II and CRESST II positive signal ranges, the DM-Nucleon cross sections predicted by the Type I and Type II models more or less automatically fall within the $95\%-99\%$ C.L. signal region boundaries. Were it not for the LUX and SuperCDMS limits, which exclude all (almost all) such points in the case of Type I (Type II), this would be a success for the 2HDMS models. In fact, in the case of Type II there are a few points with $5.5 {\rm ~GeV} < m_S < 6.2 {\rm ~GeV}$ that survive the LUX and SuperCDMS limits and fall within the CDMS II 99% C.L. signal region. Possibilities for dark matter to be isospin-violating in this 2HDMS context are also examined.

        Search for Scalar Charm Pair Production with the ATLAS Detector in pp Collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV 20m
        Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a theoretically attractive extension to the Standard Model of particle physics with the potential to solve several of its theoretical problems. For instance, the nature and production of dark matter is explained in SUSY by the existence of new stable, weakly interacting particles. A search for the production of supersymmetric partners of the charm quark will be presented, using data collected in 2012 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. This is a previously unexplored SUSY scenario, the search for which makes use of recent developments in charm tagging algorithms and charm-tags the leading two jets in an event, significantly enhancing the sensitivity for this signal over inclusive searches. The results are used to set limits on the visible cross section of new physics, and are interpreted in a specific simplified model with only supersymmetric charm quarks and the neutralino LSP (lightest SUSY particle) kinematically accessible at the LHC.

The search for directly produced DM particles exploits final states containing a high momentum single object and missing transverse energy, such as monojet, monophoton, monolepton and monotop. The production of DM particles in association with top quarks is also considered. Finally, the search for invisible decays of the Higgs bosons and their DM results are mentioned as well.

        Minimal models for decaying Dark Matter and the LHC 40m
        We introduce minimal models of decaying Dark Matter, characterized by the fact that DM interacts with SM particles through one renormalizable coupling with an additional heavier SM charged state. Such interaction allows to produce a substantial abundance of DM in the early Universe via the decay of the charged heavy state, either in- or out-of-equilibrium. Moreover additional couplings of the charged particle open up decay channels for the DM, which can nevertheless be sufficiently long-lived to be a good DM candidate and within reach of future Indirect Detection observations. We discuss possible signals at the LHC in the cosmologically favored parameter region and comment on the possibility to obtain in such models the recently observed 3.55 keV X-ray line.

        First order electroweak phase transition and dark matter in (non)conformal Higgs portal models 20m
        We study the electroweak phase transition in class of classically (non)conformal Higgs portal models, with and without Veltman conditions imposed for the scalar sector. Some of the models include also fermionic type dark sector, which can be related to dark matter or neutrino masses. We find, by scanning the model parameter spaces,many realizations of the models, where the electroweak phase transition is strongly first order. The portal coupling is usually large in these cases, and particularly the Veltman conditions reduce suitable parameter space significantly. We impose constraints for the models, analyse the aspects of the fermionic dark sectors, and discuss about further analysis prospects.

        Explaining a CMS dilepton excess with the MSSM golden cascade 20m
        Recently CMS reported a small excess in a search for opposite-sign same-flavor leptons produced in conjunction with two jets and missing transverse momentum. The excess was found to be consistent with a kinematic edge in the invariant mass spectrum of the leptons. We present a possible interpretation of this excess in terms of squark pair production followed by a ‘golden cascade’ decay for one of the squarks, producing the edge in the dilepton spectrum. We identify models that fit the observed event rate while still passing other collider constraints, and present predictions for the production cross section at 13 TeV. Some of the identified models also predict a relic density of neutralino dark matter compatible with the value inferred from cosmological observations.

        Both ATLAS and CMS have been using effective field theory approach to describe their results in terms of the DM pair-production in Run-1. Whereas the effective field theory is well applicable in the case of the direct detection experiments, it is facing severe criticism when used at colliders where the actual inferred limits on the suppression scale are comparable to the centre-of-mass energy. I will report on the recent works and on the ongoing effort to define a set of simplified models that ATLAS and CMS shall be using in Run-2.

The discovery of a fundamental scalar particle compatible with the Higgs boson predicted by the SM paves the way for probing this question with new methods. An overview of the LHC Run-I legacy results in looking for both exotic Higgs decays with dedicated searches and invisible Higgs decays is presented in this contribution. Interpretations in terms of dark matter searches are discussed and prospects for Run-II searches are overviewed.

        Inflationary Imprints on Dark Matter 20m
        A generic feature of Standard Model extensions with no drastic modifications to the Higgs potential is that the Higgs is a light and energetically subdominant field during inflation. Inflationary fluctuations generically displace the field from its vacuum generating a primordial Higgs condensate. This sets specific out-of-equilibrium initial conditions for the hot big bang epoch which could have significant observational ramifications. In this work we investigate how these initial conditions set by inflation affect the generation of dark matter in the class of portal scenarios where SM fields feel new physics only through Higgs mediated couplings. As a representative example we will consider a $Z_2$ symmetric scalar singlet $s$ coupled to Higgs by $V = \lambda \Phi^{\dagger} \Phi s^2$. This simple extension has interesting consequences as the singlet constitutes a dark matter candidate originating from non-thermal production of singlet particles out from a singlet condensate.

        Dark matter, cosmic rays and the Higgs boson : an update 40m
        Although the existence of the astronomical dark matter is by now well established, its nature is still unresolved. The favoured candidate is a massive and weakly interacting neutral particle, dubbed WIMP, whose relic abundance is compatible with cosmological measurements. If present inside the haloes of galactic systems, these species still annihilate and yield distortions in the various cosmic radiations which a plethora of experiments are searching with increasing accuracy. I will review the status of the current searches. In particular, I will discuss the recently confirmed high-energy positron anomaly as well as the yet unexplained GeV gamma-ray excess from the Galactic center. Antiprotons yield also severe bounds on WIMP properties which may turn out to be crucial. I will finally elaborate on the still remote connections between dark matter indirect searches and the Higgs boson.

        Constraining Inert Triplet Dark Matter by the LHC and FermiLAT 20m
        We study collider phenomenology of inert triplet scalar dark matter at the LHC. We discuss possible decay of Higgs boson to dark matter candidate and apply current experimental data for invisible Higgs decay and $R_{\gamma\gamma}$ to constrain parameter space of our model. We also investigate constraints on dark matter coming from forthcoming measurement, $R_{Z\gamma}$ and mono-Higgs production. We analytically calculate the annihilation cross section of dark matter candidate into $2\gamma$ and $Z\gamma$ and then use FermiLAT data to put constraints on parameter space of Inert Triplet Model. We found that this limit can be stronger than the constraints provided by LUX experiment for low mass DM.

        Antideuterons from Dark Matter and Hadronization uncertainties 20m
        Due to its low astrophysical background, the antideuteron channel is a highly promising channel for indirect detection of dark matter. Being an antinucleus, the antideuteron flux has additional uncertainties from the nucleus formation model that are not relevant for other indirect detection channels. The antideuteron formation model depends on very small momentum differences between antinucleons, making it highly sensitive to two-particle correlations arising from the hadronization models employed by Monte Carlo event generators. I will here discuss the influence of hadronization on antideuteron formation, and the uncertainty on the antideuteron flux this leads to. I will further discuss the prospects of reducing this uncertainty by tuning Monte Carlo generators specifically for antideuteron production.

        High-energy gamma-ray astronomy and dark matter searches with Imaging Air Cherenkov observatories: Status and prospects 40m
        In recent years, ground-based very-high energy (E>50 GeV) gamma-ray instruments like H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS have taken on a major role in high-energy astrophysics. The high sensitivity and performance parameters, still far from the limits of the observation technique though, have lead to the detection and enabled studies of more than 100 sources of various source populations. The instruments are also well suited for the indirect searches for dark matter and have conducted major search programs in the last years. Building on their success, Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a project for a next-generation observatory for very high energy (GeV-TeV) ground-based gamma-ray astronomy, currently in its design phase, and foreseen to be operative a few years from now. In the talk, the observation technique and current status of the field is reviewed and selected recent scientific results are highlighted. I will also review the status of dark matter searches and prospects for CTA.

        Strategy for the ATLAS pMSSM summary effort 20m
        The strategy for the ATLAS pMSSM summary effort, which will lead to one of the so-called legacy papers of the collaboration, is presented. A flat scan of the pMSSM parameter space is performed by Tom Rizzo, an ATLAS short term associate. Various constraints are imposed for the scan to select viable models. A broad selection of searches in ATLAS is implemented. The selected models are first evaluated at event generation level in order to select a set we are likely to just about exclude. These will be simulated with AtlFast-II. The goals of the effort are to evaluate the impact of SUSY searches on a large set of pMSSM models, show the reach and complementarity of the searches, identify and classify models that are not excluded. A section is dedicated to the impact of ATLAS on dark matter. As the paper is still in a preliminary stage, no results have been approved for the public.
