Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2019 – Palmer
Speaker: 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.

Speaker: Sergei Gleyzer Title: Opportunities for New Physics with Modern Deep Learning Methods for the CMS Experiment Abstract: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has achieved unprecedented levels of sensitivity to new particles at the TeV scale with on-going searches for new physics, including dark matter. This sensitivity trend is expected to continue during the next

Speaker: 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
