  2. 37. The Higgs and the excessive success of the SM
    Guido Altarelli (Universita' di Roma Tre/CERN)

  3. 63. Dark Z' : from direct detection to LHC
    Yann Mambrini (LPT Orsay)
    21/05/2014, 10:15
    In this talk, I will review the main theoretical motivations to build an extension of the Standard Model by a new Gauge group. I will then study the phenomenological consequences of the presence of the new gauge boson Z' on dark matter phenomenology and the perspective of discovery at LHC, underground laboratory or indirect detection experiments.

  4. 51. LHC results and the interpretation of cosmic ray data
    Ralph Engel (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT))
    21/05/2014, 10:40
    Measurements of particle production at LHC have given us a better understanding of high-energy multiparticle production. This has lead to a reduction of the uncertainties of model predictions. Still there are some surprising observations that are difficult to describe even with models tuned to give a good description of LHC data. After giving an introduction to the relation between air shower...

  5. 58. Hadronic cross sections in extensive air showers and at accelerators
    Ralf Ulrich (KIT)
    21/05/2014, 11:25
    The measurement of the proton-air cross section of hadronic particle production with the Pierre Auger Observatory is reviewed. In this context the relation of the proton-air to the proton-proton cross section is discussed in detail, and the underlying modelling problems of this conversion are highlighted. It is shown, how a combination of accelerator and cosmic-ray measurements could help to...

  6. 4. LUNA: from Sun to Novae and beyond
    Carlo Broggini (INFN-Sezione di Padova)
    21/05/2014, 11:50
    LUNA started underground nuclear astrophysics more than twenty years ago in Gran Sasso. The 1400 meter thick overburden of dolomite has allowed nuclear physics experiments with very small count rate, down to a few events per month. Thanks to this, the key reactions of the proton-proton chain and of the CNO cycle have been studied down to very low energies. As a consequence, it is now...

  7. 11. The TeV Cosmic-Ray Anisotropy from Local Dark Matter Annihilation
    J. Patrick Harding (Los Alamos National Laboratory)
    21/05/2014, 12:15
    Several experiments including Milagro, IceCube, and HAWC have reported regions in the TeV sky with an excess of cosmic rays above the expected isotropic background. I will discuss the consistency of these cosmic-ray excesses with dark matter annihilations in a nearby subhalo. The dark matter explanation of the TeV cosmic-ray excess naturally explains both the spatial and spectral features of...
