SUMMARY:The quest for top partners at the LHC
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Tobias Golling\, Yale University\nHosted by: Tulika B
	ose\n\nPart of the HEE Seminar Series.\n\nAbstract:\nNot only has the Higgs
	 discovery established the LHC as a discovery machine\, a light Higgs also 
	manifests the so-called hierarchy or naturalness problem - the striking inc
	ompatibility between the electroweak (EW) scale of the observed Higgs boson
	 mass and the natural mass scale of the Higgs boson\, the Planck scale. The
	 most common extensions of the SM are designed to address this hierarchy pr
	oblem by introducing new physics at the TeV scale\, which most importantly 
	is in reach of the LHC. The main destabilization of the EW scale comes from
	 a top-quark loop. Thus\, the key to addressing the naturalness problem is 
	to search for light "top partners" that\, due to some symmetry mechanism\, 
	precisely cancel the top quantum quadratic divergence. I will discuss the A
	TLAS searches for these top partners.
