Search for the Rare Decay of the Kaon, KL→π0 νν
The KOTO experiment located at the J-PARC research facility in Tokai, Japan aims to measure the branching ratio (BR) of the rare decay of the neutral kaon, KL→π0 νν. This talk will focus on the results of the 2016-2018 data set and the current status of the KOTO experiment.

SuperCDMS IMPACT: The Importance and Determination of the Silicon Ionization Yield
This talk will discuss the way in which SuperCDMS sensitivity estimates are determined and how they rely on the ionization yield. This will lead into a discussion on SuperCDMS IMPACT, a neutron scattering experiment that aims to measure the ionization yield in silicon and germanium at sub-keV nuclear recoil energies.

CMS FPIX Phase I Upgrade & Search for ttbar Resonances in Boosted Semileptonic Final States
In this talk, I will discuss the testing and qualification procedures for the modules and half cylinders of the CMS Phase I FPIX detector. I will also present a model-independent search for the production of heavy resonances decaying into top-antitop quark pairs with CMS Run II data.
