DESCRIPTION:Geant4\, a cornerstone in particle physics simulation\, has de
 monstrated remarkable versatility across diverse fields\, including medic
 al physics\, space exploration\, and beyond. However\, its reliance on C+
 + programming and command-line operation has hindered its accessibility t
 o a broader audience.\n\nTo address this challenge\, we propose a paradig
 m shift in Geant4 deployment. By encapsulating the complex simulation eng
 ine within a user-friendly\, web-based interface\, we aim to create a pow
 erful yet accessible platform. This democratization of Geant4 will empowe
 r researchers\, students\, and professionals from various disciplines to 
 harness its capabilities without the need for extensive C++ expertise.\n\
 nFurthermore\, integrating immersive visualization techniques\, such as v
 irtual reality\, can transform the way we interact with and communicate s
 imulation results. This approach not only enhances the user experience bu
 t also opens new avenues for engaging the general public with the wonders
  of science.\n\nBy lowering the barrier to entry and expanding the user b
 ase\, we envision Geant4 as a ubiquitous tool\, driving innovation and di
 scovery across multiple sectors.

DESCRIPTION:Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are well-known distance indicators
 . Through the distance measured from SNe Ia\, it is possible to recover t
 heir host galaxy's peculiar velocities (PVs). The PV field measured by SN
 e Ia enables us to constrain the growth rate of cosmic structure and\, in
  turn\, test General Relativity and different dark energy models. Using a
  realistic simulation of SNe light curves\, as expected from the LSST sur
 vey\, we have analyzed the bias due to selection effects and contaminatio
 n from core-collapse SNe. Utilizing the Maximum Likelihood method\, we re
 covered the growth rate constraints from LSST SN Ia PVs. We produced fore
 casts for LSST depending on the survey observing time. We find that LSST 
 can constrain the growth rate with 10% precision in the redshift range 0.

DESCRIPTION:In a recent paper in Nature\, the MINERvA neutrino cross secti
 on experiment presented a measurement of the axial form factor of the nuc
 leon using anti-neutrino reactions on protons (hydrogen nuclei).   This i
 s the first new nucleon data since the 1980's bubble chamber measurements
  that used neutrino + neutron (in deuterium) reactions.  Phenomenological
  nucleon form factors are essential information for two customers.  They 
 are used in the calculation of the baseline event rates for neutrino + nu
 cleus interactions used in the search of other phenomena\, such as neutri
 no oscillation parameters and CP violation.   They can also be calculated
  using QCD lattice techniques\, where calculations may in principle be mo
 re precise than the existing measurements.   This talk will split between
  celebrating the 50 year history of the deuterium measurements and descri
 bing the new MINERvA measurement\, with implications for current and upco
 ming neutrino experiments such as T2K\, NOvA\, SBN\, and DUNE.

DESCRIPTION:In the Standard Model (SM)\, the Higgs field spontaneously bre
 aks electroweak symmetry and generates mass for fundamental particles. Th
 is mechanism is driven by the wine-bottle shape of the Higgs potential. T
 he discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC tells us that the Higgs field 
 exists\, but determining the shape of the Higgs potential remains a centr
 al goal of the LHC physics program. Observed differences in the shape of 
 this potential from the SM expectation would have implications for early 
 universe cosmology and the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry. The
  shape of the Higgs potential is best determined by measurements of the H
 iggs trilinear self-coupling accessed through searches for rare Higgs bos
 on pair (HH) production. This seminar will present the search for HH prod
 uction in the bbyy decay channel with 308/fb of pp collisions at 13 and 1
 3.6 TeV with the ATLAS experiment. This is the first LHC search for HH pr
 oduction with Run 3 data collected at record center of mass energy. It is
  also the first ATLAS physics analysis to use more than 300 fb-1 of pp co
 llision data. The search leverages highly efficient photon triggers and t
 he exquisite photon energy resolution to resolve the Higgs mass peak. Bot
 tom quark jets are identified using a transformer-based flavor tagging al
 gorithm to identify H->bb decays over the enormous continuum photon+multi
 jet and significant resonant H(yy)+jets backgrounds. The analysis enhance
 s the resolution of the H(bb) mass using a kinematic likelihood fit of th
 e transverse momentum balance against the di-photon system.\n\nI will pre
 sent these new results interpreted as new physics in the trilinear Higgs 
 self-coupling and in the context of the effective field theory formalism\
 , which probes alternative scenarios for the role of the Higgs boson in e
 lectroweak symmetry breaking and anomalous interactions between the Higgs
  boson and top quark.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE)\, a 
 next-generation long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment\, aims to m
 ake precision measurements of fundamental neutrino properties\, including
  leptonic CP violation and the neutrino mass ordering. Achieving the perc
 ent-level precision required for these goals demands an accurate understa
 nding of neutrino-nucleus interactions. In this talk\, I will present new
  measurements of multi-differential cross sections for charged-current mu
 on-neutrino interactions on argon without final-state pions\, performed w
 ith the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) detector
 . These results probe the GeV-scale regime relevant to DUNE's oscillation
  program and provide important constraints for refining models of neutrin
 o-nucleon interactions and nuclear effects. While DUNE's primary focus li
 es at GeV energies\, its physics program can extend to lower energies tha
 nks to the low threshold of LArTPCs. In this region\, supernova neutrinos
  and other low-energy phenomena could be studied. I will briefly discuss 
 ongoing R&D aimed at improving LArTPC performance at these energies. Usin
 g a small prototype detector\, TinyTPC (2.5 kg active mass)\, the use of 
 photosensitive dopants is explored to enhance charge collection and energ
 y resolution. Collectively\, these efforts\, from precise GeV-scale cross
 -section measurements to novel approaches for improving energy resolution
  at the MeV scale\, support DUNE's broader mission to advance our underst
 anding of the fundamental nature of neutrinos.

DESCRIPTION:Neutrons pose a significant challenge in neutrino experiments 
 where energy reconstruction is critical. The behavior of neutrons is part
 icularly model-dependent because they can take away interaction energy th
 at is largely unseen owing to their non-ionizing nature. As a result\, we
  must devise systematic uncertainties to quantify our understanding of bo
 th neutron production from a neutrino interaction and neutron propagation
  through the detector medium. Here\, I will discuss two experiments based
  at Fermilab that seek to constrain both of these uncertainties: 1) the l
 ong-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment NOvA and 2) the Accelerator 
 Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE). In NOvA\, we have implem
 ented a supplementary neutron-on-carbon inelastic scattering model for me
 dium energy neutrons that has shown an improved agreement between data an
 d simulation. While ANNIE is a gadolinium-doped water Cherenkov detector 
 with a rich R&D program and a primary physics goal of measuring neutron p
 roduction from neutrino interactions.

DESCRIPTION:Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is the next-genera
 tion accelerator neutrino experiment\, aiming to solve the mysteries of n
 eutrinos. To assess and verify the future operations of the DUNE 17-kilot
 on liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) Far Detector modules\, P
 rotoDUNEs are built and operated at CERN.\n            In this talk\, I w
 ill present my work on Michel electrons -- the decay products of stopping
  cosmic muons detected in ProtoDUNE. Michel electrons have well-character
 ized energy and timing structures (typically < 60 MeV)\, making them valu
 able low-energy calibration sources relevant for solar and supernova neut
 rino detection. Michel electrons also carry charge-sign information: stop
 ping mu^+ always decay\, whereas only ~25% of stopping mu^- decay\, with 
 the rest being captured by nucleus. This asymmetry enables data-driven se
 paration of mu^+ and mu^- in liquid argon detectors\, with implications f
 or atmospheric nu_mu / anti-nu_mu identification.\n            I will sho
 w the light-charge joint reponse of Michel electrons\, with particular em
 phasis on their optical signatures. Michel electrons are first identified
  using TPC charge information\, and their corresponding optical signals a
 re obtained through precise timing matching with the photon detection sys
 tem (PDS). This procedure isolates PDS activity within the Michel time wi
 ndow and reveals the capability of the PDS to independently identify Mich
 el electrons. The final dataset provides a high-purity sample with well-c
 haracterized optical features. Using this sample\, I will also show a pre
 liminary measurement of the mu^- decay lifetime in liquid argon.

DESCRIPTION:The Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) Experiment is a long baseline neutr
 ino oscillation experiment located in Japan. T2K searches for muon neutri
 no disappearance and electron neutrino appearance oscillations at its far
  detector\, Super-Kamiokande (SK). When performing the neutrino oscillati
 on analysis in T2K\, the SK detector performance and reconstruction must 
 be well understood in order to be certain of the number of muon and elect
 ron neutrino events observed. The T2K event reconstruction algorithm fiTQ
 un does well to classify simulated electron and muon events in the detect
 or\, however differences in reconstruction performance between simulated 
 and real data events can bias the T2K analysis results. In this seminar\,
  the methods for estimating the T2K-SK detector reconstruction uncertaint
 y will be discussed\, including significant upgrades that include events 
 with multiple visible particle final states in the T2K analysis for the f
 irst time.
