We invite you to post below any suggestions you have for topics of upcoming LHC Results Forum Talks. The main focus of the LHC Results Forum is the discussion of recent experimental results. The discussion of connections to theoretical models, in the context of motivation, constraints etc., can definitely be an important part of the talk, but should be considered a secondary aspect.
6/14/17: Tim Linden (Ohio State University) will review the pulsar and DM interpretations of the Galactic Center gamma ray excess, with a focus on the recent analysis by the Fermi-LAT collaboration aiming to characterize the population of pulsars in the Galactic bulge. Tim’s slides can be found at the forum website.
5/3/17: Jorge Camalich (CERN) will give a talk on the recent results from LHCb and their implications. Jorge’s slides are posted at the forum website.
4/26/17: Mauricio Bustamante (Ohio State University) will talk about “Overview of Recent IceCube Results”. Mauricio’s slides are at the forum website.
4/19/17: Manoj Kaplinghat (UC Irvine) will give a review of recent developments related to galactic velocity curves. Manoj’s slides can be found at the following link.
