Wes' FNAL Talk

Another Iteration 31 March 2025 Monday

  • muon pt on the event display
  • s8 would start first with DM
  • then add ν with next slide
  • s11 add the leptons to the z* decay
    • Say that the dM sets the scale of the lepton pT
  • s16 keep the larger legend on the right
  • s24 emphasis how important this is. low pt electron fake modeling!
  • s32 say that this is show this next week at Moriond for first time!
  • s32 add another slide that adds on the ATLAS figure for comparison

Practice Talk 28 March 2025 Friday

  • Start 3:05
  • Kill 1st level of bullet points! / Check spacing on slides / Color theme
  • Add B-tagging work
  • Try to speak more loudly / Add Dynamic Range
  • Put top quark FNAL
  • s5 bullet galaxy?
  • s6 gill the bottom plot / "wimp miracle"
  • s8 would do DM first … Then add the ν line
  • s9 easiest -> obvious
  • s10 point out: (explain a bit more) red is neutrinos + jets
  • s11 one scale sets multiple mass anoother scale sets the splitting
  • s12 walk through plot on the right (Hard to read))
  • s13 looks like other layers are there as well
  • s14 not sure if you need the mll details. highlightthat this is the final var
  • s15: hard to read /… point out gain mass splitting reach (PUT ON SLIDES)
  • Dont say "a little bit"
  • s18: again highlight the reduction in background
  • s19 Event display: remind them of the "obvous seach" and then point out your extension
  • s21: point out the gray is the most important part (CANT get form simulation)
  • s23 does is not have the SF applied ? Maybe used post fit.
  • s24 and s25 Walk through the plots gain.
  • s26 Talk though: before and after /
  • s27 skip
  • Analysis was about 20 mins
  • s29 talk about CMU building the modules
  • s30 27000 sesons
  • s34 give some Big Picture conclusions about the irradiated modules.
  • s35 10 min

round 1 22 March 2025 Saturday

  • Clean up the format: remove the red borders (Read:https://cmu.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01CMU_INST/1feg4j8/alma991010814439704436 )
  • Add intro slide with outline and brief bio: when you joined CMS what you worked on and when you moved to CERN ect.
  • s1: Would add slide about the SM and how it has been so successful
  • s2: Then can introduce DM as a big missing piece
    • The figure on left is more Dark Energy than DM. I would put another experimental evidence plot
  • s3: Reccomend a thoeory slide on WiMPs instead of DM directly
    • (BTW: what are teh non-collider constraints on Higgsino and Wino-Bino models?)
  • s6 Title: Searching for Dark Matter at teh LHC
  • s7 Should check if there is a more recent version of this analysis
  • s8; Should know what the blob on teh left is. (How was this sercher for before LHC?)
  • s9: Too much text. Show in pictures examples of multiplets (know what sets M and ΔM)
  • s11 too much text.
  • s18 too much text. Show Z* decaying to leptons. Trick! -> Hard!
  • s19 too much text. You should say this.. not write it
  • s20: again you dont need the text. Give example of cuts to define Fake-enriched region (better slide spacing/layout)
  • s21(better slide spacing/layout) (Maybe combine 20-21)
  • s22: why MC so far off ?
  • I would but 25 and 26 in backup
  • s27: make a version of this that shows
  • kill s28
  • s31; Add slides
    • Discuss MAC produciton at CMU.
    • Then describe the Silicon lab at CERN
    • Then explain you went to cern and worked in SI lab. and outline what you did there.
    • Then go on to 32
