The quest for new particles: ATLAS Experiment Searches Updates and Outlook
- Flavia de Almeida Dias
10:45 - 11:30
Room: de Werelt The ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) continues to push the boundaries of particle physics, seeking to unravel the mysteries of the universe beyond the Standard Model. This talk will provide an overview of the most recent results obtained during Run 2 of the LHC, focusing on our relentless quest for new physics. In addition, I will outline the plans and prospects for Run-3 and the upcoming HL-LHC searches.

Room: de Werelt The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) has been in operation on the International Space Station since May 19th, 2011, and it will continue its mission for the duration of the space station's operational lifespan. Throughout its data-taking period in space, AMS-02 has successfully registered a remarkable count of over 200 billion cosmic-ray events. AMS-02 has been primarily designed to fulfil two significant objectives. Firstly, it aims to explore the presence of antimatter and dark matter within the cosmos. Secondly, it is dedicated to the exquisite measurement of cosmic-ray composition and flux within the energy range of GeV to TeV. The instrument has provided precise data concerning cosmic-ray nuclei, spanning from Hydrogen to Silicon, and even Iron. Furthermore, this data has enabled comprehensive discussions regarding the associated spectral characteristics.

Room: de Werelt In this talk I will present a tasty quantum dessert selected from the extensive quantum trilogy -- Power of the invisible: the quantessence of reality —a three part book that I have completed and that will appear in December. I hope to share the pleasure of finding out how this rock solid and yet elusive show piece of physics actually works.
