Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2019 – West
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Chris West (UA) Title: Exploring MeV to TeV Scales with Photons at the CMS Experiment Abstract: The CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider can measure photons with energies ranging from hundreds of MeV to several TeV, enabling the exploration of a broad range of topics--from standard model physics to searches for new physics.
Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2019 – Palmer
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Chris Palmer (Princeton University) Title: Observation of the Higgs boson decaying to bottom quarks at CMS Abstract: The Higgs boson decay to a bottom quark-antiquark pair has been sought for decades by the high energy community (i.e. at LEP and Tevatron). LHC experiments built analyses based on the experience of Tevatron experiments' analysis techniques.

This sensitivity trend is expected to continue during the next
Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2019 – Narayan
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Gautham Narayan Title: From Tens to Tens of Thousands: Supernovae Science in the Big-Data Era Abstract: Despite observations of thousands of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), we still do not have a clear understanding of the progenitor systems of these explosions. Our limited understanding of these events restricts our understanding of the nature of
Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2019 – Visbal
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Eli Visbal Title: Revealing the First Billion Years of the Universe Abstract: How the first stars and galaxies formed is an exciting open question in astrophysics and cosmology. Answering this question will shed light on the earliest stages of galaxy evolution and test models of dark matter particle physics. In this talk, I shall
