DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Maria Mironova (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. (US)
 )\n\nHigh-energy particle colliders provide our most direct access to fund
 amental physics\, probing the Standard Model (SM) with unprecedented prec
 ision. While the discovery of the Higgs boson has confirmed the theory wit
 h remarkable accuracy\, compelling evidence indicates that it is incomple
 te. As we enter the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) era\, a central challenge
  will be to probe the Higgs boson through a programme that combines preci
 sion measurements\, searches for unconventional signatures\, and continued
  innovation in detector technology.\nIn this seminar\, I will present rece
 nt ATLAS measurements of Higgs boson decays to heavy-flavour final states\
 , with a particular focus on progress and outlook towards constraining th
 e Higgs-charm Yukawa coupling - one of the fundamental parameters of the S
 tandard Model that remains unmeasured. I will then discuss the role of th
 e Higgs boson as a possible portal to new physics\, focusing on searches f
 or long-lived particles that give rise to displaced signatures and extend
  the experimental reach beyond conventional approaches.\nFinally\, I will 
 turn to the detector developments that enable this physics programme\, foc
 using on the upgrade of the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) for the HL-LHC. In p
 articular\, I will highlight work on the ITk pixel detector upgrade\, incl
 uding the development and characterisation of radiation-tolerant pixel re
 adout ASICs within the RD53 collaboration. I will conclude by outlining fu
 ture directions in detector R&D\, including thin-film sensor technologies
  aimed at low-mass\, high-precision tracking for next-generation Higgs fac
 tories.\nhttps://cern.zoom.us/j/61585612649?pwd=FoLJQF7A3uVaG1ss9JoguyXrFe
