13. The physics potential of the SHiP experiment at CERN

Walter Bonivento (INFN Cagliari)

SHIP is a new general purpose fixed target facility, whose Technical Proposal has been recently reviewed by the CERN SPS Committee, who recommended that the experiment proceeds further to a Comprehensive Design phase. In its initial phase, the 400GeV proton beam extracted from the SPS will be dumped on a heavy target with the aim of integrating $2\times 10^{20}$ pot in 5 years. A dedicated...

14. Role of dark Higgs boson in DM phenomenology

18. CP Violation, Fermion oscillations and Baryogenesis

Ann Nelson (Washington)

14/07/2016, 09:30

I discuss some recent work on oscillations of heavy neutral fermions, including neutral baryons. I discuss how to obtain sizable CP violation in such oscillations, and possible connections with baryogenesis and with dark matter.

19. Faking The Diphoton Excess (?) by Displaced Dark Photon Decays

Yuhsin Tsai (Maryland)

14/07/2016, 10:20

When passing identification cuts, a particle beyond SM can fake an SM object in a collider experiment. In this talk, I show how a light and meta-stable dark photon which decays into e+e- can fake an SM photon, either converted or unconverted, at the LHC. Using the recent hint of 750 GeV diphoton signal as an example, we discuss the distinct feature of the fake photon signal and how the signal...

23. Light Dark Matter and Neutrinos

Ernest Ma (Riverside)

15/07/2016, 09:30

The possible connection between neutrinos and light dark matter is explored. There are a number of interesting scenarios, including (I) the scattering of light dark matter off neutrinos in the Universe, (II) the radiative generation of neutrino masses from warm dark matter, and (III) the emergence of warm dark matter in left-right symmetry.

24. Searching for Light Dark Matter with Proton-Beam Fixed Target Experiments
