I will provide a discussion of open questions surrounding neutrinos and how they connect to particle physics at large. I specifically, will also provide a review of the various low-energy experimental anomalies.
Neutrinos are central to many questions in particle physics, nuclear physics, and cosmology. I will give an overview of what we have learned about neutrino properties, their masses, their mixings, and their symmetries from experiments and what we have to look forward to from future experiments.
I discuss recent and imminent progress in the computation of the nuclear matrix elements that govern neutrinoless double-beta decay. Lattice QCD, effective field theory, and ab initio nuclear structure all play a role in those computations. Bayesian model mixing promises to produce a reliable uncertainty estimate for the computed matrix elements.
The Standard Model of Particle Physics explains many natural phenomena yet remains incomplete. Leptoquarks (LQs) are hypothetical particles predicted to mediate interactions between quarks and leptons, bridging the gap between the two fundamental classes of particles. Vectorlike quarks (VLQs) lie at the heart of many extensions seeking to address the Hierarchy Problem, as they can naturally...
Supersymmetry (SUSY) provides elegant solutions to several problems in the Standard Model, and searches for SUSY particles are an important component of the LHC physics program. This talk will present the latest results from SUSY searches conducted by the ATLAS experiment. The searches target multiple final states and different assumptions about the decay mode of the produced SUSY particles,...
