New Physics Interpretations at the LHC 2

5 Apr 2017, 09:00 → 7 Apr 2017, 19:30 America/Chicago

Bldg 362 auditorium (Argonne National Laboratory)

A workshop for theorists and LHC experimentalists to discuss hints for new physics at the LHC and their interpretations as well as combinations of searches in different final states. The latest results from ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC will be discussed. Recent searches cover a large range of phase space and a few of them show possible hints for bumps and deviations from the SM background expectations. We will discuss these searches as well as the implications of the hints and limits. We will also discuss unconventional yet interesting BSM models that should be considered by the experiments.

Dinner on Thursday will be at Meason Sabika, see here for details and dinner payment options.

The first NPI workshop was in May 2016.

14 The Vev Flip-Flop: Dark Matter Decay between Weak Scale Phase Transitions

We discuss a new alternative to the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) paradigm for dark matter. Rather than being determined by thermal freeze-out, the dark matter abundance in this scenario is set by dark matter decay, which is allowed for a limited amount of time just before the electroweak phase transition. We discuss a concrete model which exhibits a "vev flip-flop'' and show that it is phenomenologically successful in the most interesting regions of its parameter space. We comment on detection prospects, primarily at the LHC.

38 Beyond Simplified Dark Matter Models

The associated ZH production at LHC is one of the most prominent paths towards an accurate understanding of the Higgs boson couplings. We focus on invisible Higgs searches and show that loop-induced components for both the signal and background present phenomenologically relevant contributions to the H to invisible limits. In addition, we discuss the constraining power of this channel to Simplified Models for Dark Matter and gauge invariant completions, such as the Pseudoscalar Portal. Notably, we show that mono-Z searches provide competitive sensitivities to standard mono-jet analyses at 13 TeV LHC
