Final PhD Oral Exam - Seminar
New Probes of Hidden Sectors: From Colliders to Cosmology.
The Standard Model faces numerous challenges on both experimental and theoretical fronts that suggest the existence of as-yet undiscovered particles. In this talk I will review the motivations and features of a class of models of new physics known as hidden sectors, and present three studies of their signatures in existing and future collider experiments and cosmological observations.
