Colloquia

Colloquium Friday, September 7, 2018 3:30 PM Physics Building, Room 204 Evelyn Thomson [Host: Chris Neu] University of Pennsylvania "Searching for Supersymmetry with the ATLAS experiment" ABSTRACT: The ATLAS experiment is searching new territory for evidence of new particles produced in proton collisions at the highest energies.  Questioning assumptions is important in these searches. I will compare selected results from searches for supersymmetry with and without the assumption of R-Parity, a quantum number derived from the spin and type of particle.  I will also present some of the detector-related challenges associated with measuring charged particle momenta, including the planned upgrade of the detector to cope with up to 200 proton collisions every 25 nanoseconds.
