Searching for the Higgs Boson decaying to Dark Matter at the LHC |
To date the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has proven incredibly accurate in its predictions, but it falls short in its ability to account for a vast portion of non-electromagnetically interacting mass in our Universe. The numerous astrophysical observations that corroborate the existence of this non-interacting dark matter (DM) point to the need for a theory Beyond the SM (BSM) to explain its abundance. The discovery of the Higgs boson provides a new particle that couples to mass through Yukawa couplings, which might include new undiscovered DM particles through BSM physics. I will present the latest search results for the Higgs boson coupling to DM from the ATLAS Collaboration using 139 fb-1 of 13 TeV center-of-mass pp collision data. I will also show comparisons to direct-detection experiment results for DM cross-sections as well as future prospects for Higgs to invisible searches. |

Hunting for new physics using long-lived particles with ATLAS at the LHC |
We have a great mathematical model for how the known elementary particles interact, but there are phenomena such as dark matter that it doesn't explain. New particles light enough to be created at the LHC could resolve many of these issues. We have been looking in LHC data for dark matter and other new particles for years, and found nothing, but we have been looking in the most obvious places. There are equally plausible but harder to access corners where we are only starting to search. The most interesting involve "long-lived" particles (LLPs): particles that can travel a measurable distance in the detector before decaying to dark matter and/or other objects. Our search program looking for LLPs is still young and growing, with many places where investment in technical improvements could pay off with big leaps in discovery potential. This colloquium will discuss the methods and challenges involved in doing these searches and what makes them the most exciting targets for the LHC Run 3. |

Theory and applications of random Poincaré maps |
For deterministic ODEs, Poincaré maps (also called return maps) are useful to find periodic orbits, determine their stability, and analyse their bifurcations. The concept of Poincaré map naturally extends to the case of stochastic differential equations, where it takes the form of a discrete-time, continuous-space Markov chain.The talk will first present a motivation for random Poincaré maps, through the problem of describing interspike interval statistics for the stochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo equation. Then we will discuss spectral-theoretic results that allow to quantify the metastable long-time dynamics of systems with several periodic orbits, as well as some directions for future research.Based on joint works with Damien Landon and Manon Baudel.
