SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Boosted Higgs Boson: A Gateway to New Physics
DESCRIPTION:The Higgs boson\, the cornerstone of the Standard Model\, was discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)\, marking a groundbreaking milestone in high-energy physics. Yet\, critical questions—such as the origin of electroweak symmetry breaking and the mass hierarchy—remain unanswered. Precision measurements of the Higgs boson and its interactions\, especially at high energies\, offer one of the most promising pathways to uncover new physics at the LHC.\n\nThe most favored Higgs boson decay to a bottom-antibottom quark pair ($H \to b\bar{b}$) is emerging as a key channel for studying Higgs bosons produced with large momentum\, where the decay products are reconstructed as a single\, large-radius jet. Historically\, hadronic final states have faced significant challenges due to contamination from QCD processes\, but advancements in jet substructure and tagging techniques have made these analyses viable in the boosted topology. In this talk\, I will present the first measurement of Higgs production in association with a vector boson in the fully hadronic ($qqb\bar{b}$) final state.\n\nLooking ahead\, I will discuss opportunities to improve measurements of highly energetic Higgs bosons and explore the physics potential of the High Luminosity LHC\, the ATLAS detector upgrade\, and future collider projects. These advancements will deepen our understanding of Higgs boson properties and their implications for physics beyond the Standard Model\, paving the way for discoveries in the years to come.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG: Siegel-Weil formula and Rallis inner product formula
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In the first part \, I will introduce the classical Siegel-Weil formula\, which expresses an Eisenstein series as a weighted average of theta series associated with lattices in a genus. I will then explore how to interpret it within the framework of the theta lifts. \n\nIn the second part\, I will discuss the Rallis inner product formula\, which relates the Petersson inner product of theta lifts to the special value of an L-function. I will explain how this result is established using a see-saw  argument and the Siegel-Weil formula.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Professors Petra Kuppers\, Sara Forsdyke\, and Jon M. Miller\, Collegiate Professorship Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place both in person and virtually.\n\nProfessor Petra Kuppers\, the Anita Gonzalez Collegiate Professor of Performance Studies and Disability Culture\n\nLecture Title: Disability Culture’s Altered States: Pain\, Suspension\, and Materiality\n\nLecture Abstract: In this talk\, Petra Kuppers shares her career-long engagement with performance and disability culture as an investigation of artful altered states\, connected to experiences of pain\, joy\, and their (feminist) killers. How can we use social justice to reach out\, to touch? How can we try to be open to more than what is easily available to our acculturated senses? How can poetry\, communal time shifts\, and mediated sensory immersion expand and contract our world(s)? Petra will take us on a journey from her native Germany to her current work on the Planting Disabled Futures virtual reality world.\n\nProfessor Sara Forsdyke\, the Josiah Ober Collegiate Professor of Ancient History\n\nLecture Title: Democratic Justice: Democracy and Juries in Ancient Athens and Contemporary America \n\nLecture Abstract: Ancient Athens is famous for its invention of democracy. Less well-known is the fact that ancient Athens created a sophisticated system for trial by jury. This lecture will highlight the unusual features of the Athenian jury system and explore what we can learn from them. \n\nProfessor Jon M. Miller\, the Douglas Richstone Collegiate Professor of Astronomy\n\nLecture Title: A New View of Black Holes\n\nLecture Abstract: Black holes are not cosmic vacuum cleaners\, nor trash compactors. Rather\, they are rampant polluters that forever change their local environment.  The process of gas accretion onto massive black holes in galactic centers may release as much ionizing radiation as all of the stars in the universe.  And\, counterintuitively\, gas consumption by massive black holes leads to gas ejection at incredible speeds.  These winds can scour the central regions of host galaxies\, preventing the formation of new stars.  Although the spatial expanse over which accretion onto (and ejection from) massive black holes occurs cannot be imaged directly\, it can be revealed using X-ray spectroscopy.  The launch of the XRISM telescope in late 2023 - a joint venture of JAXA\, NASA\, and ESA - is revolutionizing our understanding of black hole accretion.  As one of five US \"participating scientists\" with access to early data\, I will describe how this telescope works\, the discoveries that it is making now\, and the incredibly bright future that is on the horizon.\n\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, please click the link below to join the webinar:\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iPad\, or Android:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/91410732768\n\nPhone one-tap:\n+13017158592\,\,91410732768# US (Washington DC)\n+13052241968\,\,91410732768# US\n\nJoin via audio:\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 780 666 0144 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\nWebinar ID: 914 1073 2768\nInternational numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/adRDpC4vcV
