88. Lepton Flavour Universality

Ferruccio Feruglio (University of Padova)

26/11/2018, 09:15

I will review Lepton Flavour Universality (LFU), its meaning in the context of the Standard Model, its relation to Lepton Flavour Violation and the implication of its possible failure.
LFU applies to a wide range of processes, at different energy scales, and to a high degree of accuracy. B meson decays mediated by both charged currents and neutral currents have provided hints of violation of...

87. LHCb: results and future perspectives

Bernardo Adeva (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (ES))

26/11/2018, 10:05

A review of recent results of the LHCb experiment will be made, tentatively covering the current status of the so-called weak anomalies in lepton flavor universality and angular analysis of b--> s ll decays, of CP-violation and b- and c-quark spectroscopy, and of low-mass new particle searches. Future perspectives shall also be outlined

13. ALICE: recent results and future perspectives

Prof. Edmundo Garcia-Solis (Chicago State University (US))

Heavy Ions

Parallel Talk (Experiment)

ALICE is an experiment designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter and the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the CERN’s LHC. During the Run1 and Run 2 data taking (2010-2018), ALICE has collected valuable data for proton-proton, proton-lead, lead-lead and Xenon-Xenon collisions at different energies. In the presentation, we will summarize the main...

90. Neutrino Theory

Hisakazu Minakata (Tokyo Metropolitan University)

92. DUNE: Science, Status and Perspectives

Luca Stanco

27/11/2018, 11:10

We will provide a short introduction to the current status of neutrino knowledge with emphasis on the long-baseline experiments. An extended introduction to the DUNE experiment will follow, addressing the current status of the project, including recent results for its several R&D setups. We will end discussing the overwhelming results DUNE could achieve in general for the neutrino physics.

98. WIMPS and beyond - CANCELLED

juan estrada (fermilab)

28/11/2018, 12:00

I will discuss some of the ongoing experiments for dark matter direct detection, which have a big emphasis on WIMPS. I will also discuss the newly developed experimental techniques that are now making possible the search for dark matter candidates beyond the wimp, providing a new window into the dark sector.

93. pQCD (and SM physics) at the LHC

Daniel Enrique De Florian Sabaris (International Center for Advanced Studies (AR))

29/11/2018, 11:10

The first years of running of the CERN LHC marked a real milestone in particle physics with the discovery of the long sought Higgs boson. The LHC is delivering a wealth of high-quality data at an increased centre-of-mass energy, which, so far, shows and impressive agreement with the expectation from the Standard Model (SM) without clear evidence for new physics signals.

In general, the key...

100. Some Recent Developments in Astroparticle Theory and Phenomenology

Guenter Sigl (II. Institut für theoretische Physik, Universität Hamburg)

30/11/2018, 09:50

I will review two recent developments in astroparticle theory and phenomenology that are not meant to be exhaustive in any way, but are connected to some of the particle physics covered in this conference.

First, cosmic rays have been observed up to macroscopic energies of about 50 Joules, presumably in one elementary particle. The existence of such particles pose formidable challenges and...
