Title: Exploring boosted Higgs-to-bb decays Abstract: In this seminar, we will explore the techniques used to observe the Higgs boson decay to bottom quarks at the Large Hadron Collider. Emphasis will be placed on the Lorentz boosted regime and heavy-flavour tagging, which help reduce the overwhelming Standard Model background. We will also present a few measurements […]

Title: Gravitational Wave Symphony from Oscillating Spectator Scalar Fields Abstract: Spectator scalar fields can be generically present in the early Universe, and are potentially dark matter candidates. We investigate the prospect of such scalars as a generic source of stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) due to parametric resonance during their oscillation phase. By systematically analyzing […]

We meet every Tuesday at 1pm, Eastern time, in the CafeCon (the conference room next to the STScI cafeteria), and also remotely using BlueJeans. We start with a talk by guest speaker for ~30 minutes, followed by paper discussion. Vote for what papers you want discussed on Benty-Fields. Sign up for e-mails by sending a […]
