The IceCube Neutrino observatory has established the existence of a high energy cosmic neutrino flux. The origin of this flux remains elusive, and its discovery is instrumental in understanding cosmic particle accelerators. KM3NeT ARCA is a water cherenkov neutrino telescope aiming at finding high energy cosmic neutrino sources. The new multi-pmt optical module design and water medium gives an...

67. CNN fo inspiral detection: going down in frequency

Gravitational waves play an essential role in multi-messenger astronomy. In principle, they could be detected before the other channels. This is particularly important for binary neutron star mergers, where electromagnetic counterparts can be observed. To issue alerts, one would require the detection in the early inspiral part of the signal, well before the maximum frequency is reached. Our...

73. Investigating exotic decays of the radon-222 chain with a contaminated liquid xenon detector

In the search for dark matter, detectors have been built using liquid xenon as a detection medium. One of their most crucial background source is radon-222 and its daughter nuclides, as they can cause signals which look like those expected from dark matter particles. Consequently, it is important to understand how the radon-222 decay chain signals can be identified and suppressed from the dark...

63. Search for Higgs boson pair production in bbll final states

Alessio Pizzini (ATLAS)

The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations was one of the major achievements of particle physics in recent times.
However, the discovery of this particle was only the first step of its characterization, as the confirmation of the Higgs mechanism requires the determination of its quantum numbers, widths and couplings. Playing such a key role in the the...
