Title: Around the forces in 80 microseconds Abstract: With large amounts of data, a Higgs boson discovery, and world-leading constraints on an enormous amount of parameters and interactions, the Large Hadron Collider has been a phenomenal tool. However, it is going through a mid-life crisis. More data, more Higgs bosons, and more constraints are not bringing the same […]

Title: Dark QCD: the Next Frontier in Dark Matter Abstract: There has been a surge of interest in hidden valley models with new, strong forces, sometimes called "dark QCD". These models propose asymmetric, composite dark matter in the form of "dark hadrons" that would evade direct and indirect bounds as well as typical collider DM searches for […]

TITLE: Photonic Band Gap R&D for Next Generation Axion Haloscopes ABSTRACT: Axions are a well-motivated dark matter candidate particle, which have the potential to simultaneously solve multiple problems in particle physics. As a dark matter candidate, large scale haloscopes, such as ADMX and HAYSTAC, aim to detect axions in the galactic halo by measuring the […]
