10th KSETA Plenary Workshop 2023

Mar 27, 2023, 8:00 AM → Mar 29, 2023, 5:50 PM Europe/Berlin

Dorint Hotel Durbach/Schwarzwald

All Fellows and Principal Investigators are cordially invited to participate in the tenth plenary workshop of the whole school. The aim of the workshop is to learn more about all the research fields in KSETA and to strenghten cooperation and team building.

The programm includes talks from external speakers and the new PIs will introduce themselves. The PhD students are invited to contribute with a talk or a poster. On Tuesday afternoon the PI session will take place. A preliminary timetable is already available. The final timetable will be published after the registration deadline in order to appropriately consider all fellow presentations.

Registration is open until 28 February.

5 Calorimeter R&D for Higgs Factories - Inspiration for LHC Upgrades

The proposal of energy-frontier electron-positron colliders, now referred to as Higgs Factories, has triggered a broad R&D program to establish detector technologies required to fully exploit the physics capability of such a facility. One such example is highly granular calorimetry, which has been developed by the CALICE collaboration over the last two decades, and forms the central element of several detector concepts for future facilities. This technology has also been adopted for the CMS Phase II endcap calorimeter upgrade, the HGCAL. I will discuss the physics motivation for the development of highly granular calorimeters, summarize key steps towards the establishment of the technology as a viable solution for collider detectors, and discuss the challenges in transferring it from lepton colliders to LHC.

8 Looking for Axion Dark Matter with Flavor

Standard Model extensions with light axions are well-motivated by the observed Dark Matter abundance and the Peccei-Quinn solution to the Strong CP Problem. In general such axions can have large flavor-violating couplings to SM fermions, which naturally arise in scenarios where the Peccei-Quinn symmetry also explains the hierarchical pattern of fermion masses and mixings. After a pedagogical introduction to these topics, I will discuss how these couplings allow for efficient axion production from the decays of SM particles, giving the opportunity to probe axion Dark Matter with precision flavor experiments, astrophysics and cosmology.

9 Per Aspera ad Astra - Precision calculations for quark flavour physics

Quark flavour physics offers the possibility to test the Standard Model of particle physics and to search for extensions of it, which might also explain open questions like the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe or the existence of dark matter in the Univers. We will give an overview of the main concepts and some very recent developments.

10 Simulating the radio emission from air showers with CORSIKA 8

Speaker: Nikos Karastathis (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

11 Bread and Butter Physics

The talk will cover the most recent development in the field of electroweak precision physics at the Large Hadron Collider. Special emphasis will be placed on the measurement of the W boson mass at the ATLAS experiment and its tension to the latest result of CDF. However, maybe the talk will be on axion-like particle searches at the LHC and beyond. The final choice depends on the properties of bread and butter.
