Description

My seminar will focus on how modern LHC data analysis and data collection can help the CMS experiment improve its physics reach. I will show examples from data scouting to examples in the state-of-the art of analysis such as the study of four top quark production. This seminar is aimed to also be understandable to particle physics colleagues from experiments beyond the LHC community.

Short Bio: Freya Blekman is currently a lead scientist at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) with joint appointment at the University of Hamburg via the Helmholtz Distinguished Professor Recruitment Initiative. In addition to full-time professorship, Blekman is also a visiting professor at Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the University of Oxford. Her future work includes searching for signs of new physics by using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Future Circular e+e- Collider (FCC-ee) at CERN.
