The spectacular success of the Higgs boson discovery has further elevated the expectation for new physics at the LHC. However, the biggest challenge in finding new physics is model dependence, which limits the scope and coverage of typical searches. To address this challenge, I will outline a path to discovery through a search program that covers a broad and inclusive range of signatures. Finally, I will discuss how new detector technologies with picosecond timing precision have the potential to enhance the discovery and understanding of new physics at the LHC and future colliders.
Si received his PhD from MIT in 2012 completing the first search on the Higgs boson at CMS in the WW decay channel. Since then, he has been a Millikan Fellow at Caltech, where he played a leading role in the discovery of the Higgs boson in the four-lepton decay channel at CMS and subsequent measurements of its properties. More recently, he has focused on searches for supersymmetry and on the R&D of future detector technologies with pico-second timing capabilities.
