Abstract:
The unification of electroweak interaction took us step closer to Einstein's dream of a unified theory of nature. However, the details of the electroweak unification have remained elusive. Now, with the discovery of the Higgs boson, the studies of electroweak interaction at the LHC is in full swing. This talk will discuss the recent developments in expansions of the final states being studied for electroweak interaction at the LHC in order to advance our knowledge of the electroweak symmetry breaking. Finally, I will briefly discuss the challenges that lie ahead for the electroweak physics at the LHC, and the steps being taken to address them.

Philip Chang is an assistant professor of physics at the University of Florida. After receiving his PhD at University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign as a member of ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of CERN in Geneva, he started his postdoctoral fellow position at UC San Diego as a member of the sister experiment, Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS), at the LHC. His primary focus is on the investigation of the electroweak and the Higgs sector of the Standard Model (SM) through studying production of multiple massive particles. He also focuses on developing parallel charged-particle tracking algorithm with GPUs also using machine learning, and data reduction acceleration through Data Processing Units (DPUs). He is a recipient of 2022 LHC Physics Center Distinguished Researcher Fellowship at the Fermi Laboratory.
