Physics colloquium – “Tabletop” Experiments Probing New Physics at TeV to PeV Scales”

CoorsTek Center for Applied Science and Engineering 1523 Illinois St., Golden, CO, United States

Dave DeMille University of Chicago, Department of Physics Abstract: For decades, it had been expected that new fundamental particles, beyond those in the Standard Model, should exist with mass below ~1 TeV. Now, despite many types of experiments probing this scale, no clear evidence has emerged for their existence. This strongly motivates experiments that can […]
