Exploring the Higgs potential and its impact on the evolution of the early Universe

Information about the Higgs potential from the self-couplings of the detected Higgs boson is crucial for a better understanding of the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and of the electroweak phase transition in the early Universe. The latter is of particular importance in the quest for explaining the observed asymmetry between matter and anti-matter in the Universe. It will be shown that although the present bounds on the trilinear Higgs self-coupling from Higgs pair production at the LHC are still relatively weak, they already provide a new way for probing so far unconstrained parameter regions of extended Higgs sectors. The parameter region of extended Higgs sectors giving rise to a strong first-order electroweak phase transition in the early Universe and potentially detectable gravitational wave signals is typically correlated with a certain mass splitting among the additional Higgs bosons, giving rise both to to a significant enhancement of the trilinear Higgs-boson self-coupling compared to the SM value and to a characteristic “smoking gun’’ signature in the search for additional Higgs boson. The prospects for exploiting the process of triple Higgs-boson production at the LHC for constraining both the trilinear and quartic Higgs boson self-couplings are briefly discussed.

SATIF-16 Shielding aspects of Accelerators, Targets and Irradiation Facilities

The 16th workshop on Shielding aspects of Accelerators, Targets and Irradiation Facilities (SATIF-16) will take place on May 28-31, 2024 at the National Laboratories of Frascati of the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics.The SATIF workshop aim is to promote information exchange among experts in the fields of radiation physics and the application of ionizing radiations in different fields of science and technology. This series workshops are experts’ meetings addressing important aspects related to the modeling and design of accelerator shielding, including updates on new and emerging features of the computation tools including FLUKA, MARS, and PHITS, high resolution radiological assessments for large scale areas with automated run-time optimization for the simulation of deep penetration of radiation in shielding structures, machine learning driven design optimizations, and comprehensive benchmarking exercises. Main objectives of SATIF meetings are:promoting the information exchange among experts in the field of accelerator shielding and related topics;identifying areas where international cooperation can be fruitful;creating task forces in order to achieve progress in specific priority areas. SATIF workshops have been held once every two years since 1994, rotating between the US, Europe, and Asia. In addition to organizing these workshops the SATIF group also coordinates analysis and proposes action items.Following the SATIF tradition, there is no registration fee for this event.   A Zoom link will be provided for remote attendance of the workshop as a spectator only. The presentation of talks and posters will be reserved for in-person participation (special requests due to unexpected events will be reviewed by the Local Organizing Committee …

The Vcb puzzle: status and progress

The discrepancy between the inclusive and exclusive determination of Vcb is one of the unresolved puzzles in flavour physics. The interplay between theory prediction and experimental data is the key element to better understand the source of this discrepancy, and ultimately resolve it. In this talk, I will review the latest developments both from the theoretical and experimental point of view and the future prospects. Join Zoom Meetinghttps://infn-it.zoom.us/j/96498352862?pwd=K3ZoWHY3YnZDM3lEc3A1c3M2UTc2dz09Meeting ID: 964 9835 2862Passcode: 732651

Natural SUSY, string landscape and implications for LHC

The emergence of the string landscape in the early 2000s provided a setting for Weinberg’s anthropic solution to the cosmological constant problem. But what does the landscape imply for LHC physics? Rather general considerations yield probability distributions for sparticle and Higgs boson masses where the Higgs mass peaks around 125 GeV and sparticles somewhat or well-beyond present LHC bounds.I briefly review the most promising LHC discovery channels to emerge from natural SUSY. Applying naturalness to the strong CP problem, we expect mainly axion dark matter to emerge, with a smattering of higgsino-like WIMPs. Join Zoom Meetinghttps://infn-it.zoom.us/j/97176607357?pwd=eDB1amh4Zmxmdm83RDF6SEJ0S2ZIQT09Meeting ID: 971 7660 7357Passcode: 908879
