Search for Extra Dimensions and Black Holes at LHC

Speaker Dr. Patrick K.V. Tsang

Time 4:00 p.m.
Venue Room 522, 5/F, Chong Yuet Ming Physics Building, HKU

Abstract

Searches for extra spatial dimensions are one of the most popular new direction in the quest for physics beyond the Standard Model. I will present several searches in different extra dimensions models, including signatures from gravitons, and black holes production and evaporation at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The results are based on data taken by ATLAS and CMS experiments on 2010 and 2011, which reached an unprecedented sensitivity to TeV-gravity physics, and offer the most stringent constants on the existence of extra spatial dimensions.

Coffee and tea will be served 20 minutes prior to the seminar.
