| Description: | [DPS Seminar] Dr. Pankaj Sharma (University of Adelaide) -- High Energy Physics@LHC: A TOP Perspective |
| Date: | Wednesday, Jan 20, 2016 |
| Time: | 2 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. |
| Venue: | G02, Lecture Hall Complex |
| Details: | The ultimate goal of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is to reveal the secrets of electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) and discover the new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. The top quark has been believed to be a key to uncover the veil over EWSB and new physics. The top quark is unique in the sense that it decays before it can form a bound state and thus allows a possibility to measure its polarization. In this seminar, I will discuss various ways to measure the top quark polarization and its usefulness in constraining various new physics models at the LHC. I will also discuss how the top quark can be utilized to characterize the properties of the newly discovered Higgs boson at the LHC. |
