Die Teilchenphysik befasst sich mit einigen der grundlegendsten Fragen im Zusammenhang mit der Struktur der Materie bei kleinsten Abständen und stößt dabei an die Grenzen unseres Wissens. Unser besonderes Interesse gilt der theoretischen Interpretation der Ergebnisse von Experimenten am Large Hadron Collider (LHC) am CERN und dem Flavour-Physikexperiment BELLE II am KEK (Tsukuba/Japan).
Unsere Gruppe ist bekannt für sehr präzise Vorhersagen für Collider- und Flavour-Observablen innerhalb des Standardmodells der Teilchenphysik, die auf perturbativen und nicht-perturbativen quantenfeldtheoretischen Methoden basieren. Der Vergleich unserer Berechnungen mit experimentellen Ergebnissen liefert Erkenntnisse über mögliche Erweiterungen des Standardmodells, mit denen sich offene Fragen wie der Ursprung der Materie-Antimaterie-Asymmetrie im Universum oder die Natur der dunklen Materie beantworten lassen könnten.

    Trapped Ion Clocks – Relativistic Effects and Collective Dynamics
    ENC-D114 (ENC)

    Speakers: Klemens Hammerer (Leibniz Universität Hannover)

    Optical atomic clocks have achieved record-breaking stability, with accuracies corresponding to a drift of less than one second over the age of the universe. Among the leading platforms realizing this performance are cold trapped ions, which offer exceptional quantum control and coherence. At this level of precision, new questions emerge at the intersection of quantum optics and relativistic physics. In this talk, I will present our recent work on relativistic and collective effects in trapped ion clocks. Relativistic corrections induce a coupling between the ions‘ internal clock states and their collective center-of-mass motion in the trap, a phenomenon that has recently been captured in a rigorous theoretical framework. I will discuss the implications for systematic uncertainties in atomic clocks and the experimental challenges in controlling, cooling, and probing the collective dynamics of Coulomb crystals.

    A TeV scale origin for Higgs and Flavour
    ENC-D308

    Speakers: Joe Davighi (CERN)

    The hierarchy problem remains a strong theoretical motivation for there being new physics close to the TeV scale, such as compositeness or supersymmetry. Precision flavour measurements, on the other hand, probe scales up to 10^6 TeV, which tell us that any solution to the hierarchy problem must have a special flavour structure. For example, the new physics might be ‚minimally flavour violating‘, which reconciles the flavour bounds, but is now probed up to 10 TeV by LHC data. We discuss an alternative flavour structure, viable closer to 1 TeV, in which new physics couples preferentially to the third family. Moreover, this non-universal approach points to BSM models in which the hierarchy problem and the flavour puzzle are solved together near the TeV scale. Theories in this class predict a rich phenomenology in electroweak, flavour, and high pT observables, that can be probed from many directions in present and future colliders.

    Speakers: Marina Artuso (Syracuse University, NY)

    The fundamental building blocks of the subatomic particles that we study are characterized by a property called flavor that leads to intriguing  patterns that are still baffling our understanding. Two quarks having beauty and charm promise to unveil interesting new discoveries if we persevere in the effort of uncovering subtle deviations from the current canon of our understanding, the so-called Standard Model. 
    The LHCb experiment is the first experiment designed to study interesting decays of the b and c quarks at a hadron machine. Currently it is taking data in its “Upgrade I” design and has successfully demonstrated the capabilities of the innovative software trigger, that allows to enhance the physics reach beyond the prospects o;ered by an increase in luminosity. The data set from its first data taking cycle is still being exploited, while many physics results from the upgraded detectors are under way. In addition, an ambitious upgrade is planned for operation at the HL-LHC. Highlights from the recent physics results, immediate prospects and upgrade plans will be presented.

    Exploring New Physics with LHC Data
    ENC-D114 (ENC)

    Speakers: Benjamin Fuks (CNRS – Sorbonne Université)

    In this colloquium, I will explore the current status and future prospects for new physics in light of recent and upcoming results from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The presentation will begin with an overview of how generic simplified models for physics beyond the Standard Model are constructed in order to search for signature of new phenomena. I will then discuss the latest experimental results from the LHC and examine implications and constraints on a variety of models including, among others, supersymmetry, dark matter, additional symmetries and top-philic states.

    Symmetric Mass Generation: a new paradigm
    ENC-D308

    Speakers: Anna Hasenfratz (U. Boulder)

    Symmetric Mass Generation (SMG) is a new paradigm to generate massive bound states from massless fermions without breaking any continuous symmetries. The SMG phase is confining but chirally symmetric, without Goldstone bosons. The necessary condition for such a phase is the cancellation of all, continuous and discrete, ‚t Hooft anomalies.SMG was originally discovered in lower dimensional condensed matter systems, but by now we have evidence that it also occurs in 3+1 dimensional gauge-fermion systems.If confirmed, SMG could provide a new UV completion of the standard model and give rise to new scenarios for beyond standard model physics.In this talk I review the basic properties of SMG and show evidence of UV complete SMG phases both in SU(2) and SU(3) gauge-fermion systems. While the results are from lattice simulations, this is not a lattice talk. I will not discuss details of the simulations.
