Jason Bono (Fermilab) – Muon Anomalies and Their Future Investigations

50A-5132- Sessler 50A-5132 Sessler Conference Room, CA

The muon is 200 times heavier than the electron and still lighter than any hadron, which make it’s interactions, at once, potentially sensitive to undiscovered phenomena, and predictable to high […]

Ana Bonaca (Harvard-CfA) – What are the tidal streams constraining?

50A-5132- Sessler 50A-5132 Sessler Conference Room, CA

Cold stellar streams, remnants of tidally disrupted globular clusters, have been employed as exquisite tracers of dark matter in the Milky Way. Because of their different positions in phase space, […]
