W2-10 Exploring the Energy and Precision Frontier IV (PPD) / Frontière d'énergie et de précision IV (PPD)
- Heather Russell (CERN)
The observation of neutral long-lived particles (LLPs) at the LHC would reveal novel physics beyond the Standard Model. LLP signatures are well motivated and can appear in many theoretical constructs that address the Hierarchy Problem, Dark Matter, Neutrino Masses and the Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe. With the current experimental program at colliders, no search strategy will be able to...
The rare $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \overline{\nu}$ decay is an ideal probe for exploring physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) at very high energy scales. This loop-dominated weak decay is heavily suppressed in the SM with a predicted branching ratio (BR) of $\left(8.4 \pm 1.0\right) \times 10^{-11}$.
The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS is designed to study precisely the $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu...
As a part of the Phase-1 upgrade to the ATLAS muon spectrometer, Canada has taken a leading role in the construction, testing, and commissioning of small-strip Thin Gap Chambers or sTGCs, one of two detector technologies to be used in the ATLAS New Small Wheel. This presentation will detail the process in which sTGCs are built to their integration into the ATLAS detector. A focus will be given...
