Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2019 – Duric
Speaker: Senka Duric Title: Electroweak and Higgs physics at the LHC: The present and the future Abstract: Contrary to all expectations, experiments at the LHC did not discover any fundamentally new particles other than the Higgs boson. However, a lot can be learned from precision measurements of Higgs boson properties and the production of vector

Speaker: Michael Fleischhauer (Univ. of Kaiserslautern) Title: Non-local nonlinear optics using Rydberg atoms Abstract: Photons do not easily interact with each other and nonlinear processes on the few-photon level can usually be realized only under very special conditions. Coupling of weak light fields to atoms involving Rydberg states may change this picture. Under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)

Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2019 – Rorie
Speaker: Jamal Rorie (Rice) Title: Dark Matter, CMS, and the Search for Physics Beyond the Standard Model Abstract: There is compelling observational evidence for the existence of dark matter, but it is not currently included in the Standard Model of elementary particle and their interactions. The recently observed Higgs boson may interact with dark matter
