This abstract is for a plenary talk.
After the discovery of a Higgs boson in summer 2012, understanding the properties of the new particle has been a high priority of the ATLAS physics program. Measurements of Higgs boson properties sensitive to its production processes, decay modes, and spin/CP properties based on pp collision data recorded at 13 TeV are presented. The analyses in several...

The large integrated luminosities that are available at the LHC, allow to test the electroweak sector of the Standard Model as well as QCD calculations to highest precision. In this talk we cover both aspects, starting with the latest results from the ATLAS collaboration involving jets, dijets, photons in association with heavy flavors and vector bosons in...
An overview of the latest Higgs physics results obtained with the CMS experiment using proton-proton collision data collected during LHC Run 2 at $\sqrt{s} = 13 $ TeV will be presented.
Rare decays are powerful probes for Physics beyond the Standard Model
(SM), as new particles can have a large impact on physics observables.
Recent results on lepton universality tests and measurements of
branching fractions and angular distributions of rare b->sll decays have
shown tensions with the SM predictions. The LHCb experiment is ideally
suited for the study of the these flavour...
Precision measurements of CP violating observables in b hadron decays
are powerful probes to search for physics effects beyond the Standard
Model. The most recent results on CP violation in the decay, mixing and
interference of b hadrons obtained by the LHCb Collaboration will be
presented, with particular focus on results obtained exploiting the data
collected during the Run 2 of LHC.
The CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider has measured events
with two energetic jets and searched for dijet resonances, signals of new
physics beyond the standard model. The coupling of the resonance to jets
determines whether it has a natural width that is narrow or broad when
compared to the experimental resolution. I will present a search for narrow
dijet resonances and compare with...
Abstract:
We study the non-perturbative superpotential in $E_8 \times E_8$ heterotic string theory on a non-simply connected Calabi-Yau
manifold $X$, as well as on its simply connected covering space $\tilde{X}$.
The superpotential is induced by the string wrapping holomorphic, isolated, genus 0 curves.
According to the residue theorem of Beasley and Witten, the non-perturbative ...

Basic ingredients: "gauging vector- and axialvector currents" or "gauging charges"

As opposed to Wald's cosmic no-hair theorem in general relativity, it is shown that the Horndeski theory (and its generalization) admits anisotropic inflationary attractors if the Lagrangian depends cubically on the second derivatives of the scalar field. We dub such a solution as a self-anisotropizing inflationary universe because anisotropic inflation can occur without introducing any...
Texture Zero Mass Matrices will be used to
describe the flavour mixing of the leptons
and quarks. The mixing angles are calculated in terms
of the mass eigenvalues. The neutrino masses
can be calculated - they are very small
and display a normal hierarchy. An application to double beta decay is discussed.
MoEDAL, is a pioneering LHC experiment designed to search for anomalously ionizing messengers of new physics such as magnetic monopoles or massive (pseudo-)stable charged particles, that are predicted to existing a plethora of models beyond the Standard Model. It started data taking at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, in 2015. Its ground breaking physics program defines a number...
The Belle II experiment is a substantial upgrade of the Belle detector and will operate at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider. The accelerator has already successfully completed the first phase of commissioning in 2016. First electron positron collisions in Belle II are expected for April 2018. The design luminosity of SuperKEKB is $8 \times 10^{35}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ and the...
Curent neutrino oscillation data tell us that what is behind the observed neutrino mixing pattern should at least be an approximate mu-tau flavor symmetry. This suggests that there may exist an exact mu-tau flavor symmetry in the neutrino sector at a superhigh energy scale (e.g., the scale that the seesaw mechanism works), and it will be spontaneously broken due to the renormalization-group...
The T2K long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment measures muon neutrino disappearance and electron neutrino appearance in an accelerator produced neutrino and anti-neutrino beams. We report on the analysis of our data from 2.6E21 protons on target exposure. Results for oscillation parameters including the CP violation parameter and neutrino mass ordering are shown.
Super-Kamiokande (SK), a 50 kton water Cherenkov detector in Japan, is observing both atmospheric and solar neutrino neutrinos and is searching for supernova (relic) neutrinos, proton decays as well as dark matter like particles. The installation of new front-end electronics in 2008 marks the beginning of the 4th phase of SK (SK-IV).
A three-flavor oscillation analysis was conducted with the...
The 760 ton ICARUS T600 detector performed a successful three-year physics run at the underground LNGS laboratories, searching for atmospheric neutrino interactions and performing with the CNGS neutrino beam from CERN a sensitive search for LSND like anomalous nu_e appearance which contributed to constrain the allowed parameters to a narrow region around Δm2~eV2, where all the experimental...
The Telescope Array (TA) is the largest experiment in the northern
hemisphere to study origin of extremely high energy cosmic rays,
which is one of unsolved puzzles in the nature.
TA is a hybrid detector system consisting of surface detector (SD)
array and atmospheric fluorescence detectors (FDs).
507 SDs are arranged on a 1.2km grid over an area of about 700 km$^2$.
Three FD stations...
The Pierre Auger Observatory is the world's largest operating ultra
high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) detection system.
It combines a surface array to measure secondary particles at ground
level together with a fluorescence detector to measure the development
of air showers in the atmosphere above the array. The detector allows
a detailed measurement of energy spectrum, the mass...
We show a new way to produce heavy relics right during inflation. The suggested mechanism
might be responsible for Dark Matter and/or Baryon asymmetry of the Universe.
A fundamental question in hadron and nuclear physics is how the
mass scale for protons and other hadrons emerges from QCD, even in
the limit of zero quark mass. I will discuss a new approach to the
origin of the QCD mass scale and color confinement based on "lightfront
holography", a formalism which relates the bound-state
amplitudes in the fifth dimension of AdS space to the...
LHCb continues to expand its world-leading sample of charmed hadrons
collected during LHC’s Run 1 and Run 2. With this data set, LHCb is
discovering many previously unobserved charmed states and making the
most precise determinations of the properties of these states. LHCb’s
latest work on the spectroscopy of charmed hadrons is presented.
