Particle Physics Seminar

"Top Quark Precision Physics and the Fate of the Universe"

Presented by Andreas Jung, Purdue University

Thursday, October 1, 2015, 3:00 pm — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

The talk will discuss recent measurements in the top quark sector, the heaviest known elementary particle known so far, performed at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider and at the LHC. I will highlight Tevatron results that are competitive to those at the LHC, especially regarding the top quark mass and production asymmetry. The talk will also present CMS results on the top quark mass and Yukawa coupling. I will discuss the implications for the standard model electroweak sector regarding the vacuum stability. I will conclude with an outlook towards the high luminosity phase of the LHC and the CMS silicon detector upgrades required for the high luminosity phase.
