47. Exotic searches at the LHC

Alejandro Gomez Espinosa (ETH Zurich (CH))

22/08/2018, 09:00

In this talk, a brief description of the latest results in exotic searches using data collected in 2016 by the CMS and ATLAS experiments at the LHC. This talk focuses on searches using Lorentz-boosted hadronic objects which are enhanced by the current conditions of the LHC.

48. SUSY searches at the LHC

Marija Vranjes Milosavljevic (Institute of Physics Belgrade (RS))

22/08/2018, 09:30

Despite the absence of experimental evidence, weak scale supersymmetry remains one of the best motivated and studied Standard Model extensions. This talk gives an overview of the most recent SUSY searches at ATLAS and CMS experiments using 13 TeV Run2 data.

49. Rare, Exotic, and Invisible Higgs boson at the LHC

Abideh Jafari (CERN)

22/08/2018, 10:00

ATLAS and CMS have rich programs to explore the BSM territories in Higgs physics. The latest LHC results on Higgs rare, exotic and invisible decays are briefly reviewed in this talk.

50. Search for dark sectors and long-lived particles at the LHC

Katherine Pachal (Simon Fraser University (CA))

22/08/2018, 11:00

The search programmes for long-lived and dark sector particles have been gaining momentum at ATLAS and CMS as LHC Run 2 nears its end. These unconventional signatures are well motivated but were often not among the first targets of Run 2 due to requiring complex experimental techniques such as dedicated triggers, reconstruction, or calibration. New results will be highlighted from both...

51. Search for low and high mass resonances at the LHC

Carlos Andres Florez Bustos (Universidad de los Andes (CO))

22/08/2018, 11:30

52. Tests of Lepton Flavor Universality at LHCb

Annarita Buonaura (Universität Zürich (CH))

22/08/2018, 12:00

The Lepton Flavour Universality (LFU) anomalies are currently one of the hottest topics in the particle physics community. LFU can be violated in models beyond the SM by new physics particles that couple preferentially to certain generations of leptons. A combination of recent results from LHCb, Belle and BaBar on the ratio of branching fractions of tree level b->clν processes have shown a...
