Abstract
Oct 4 2024 - 11:00 to 12:00 Jonathan Machado Journey through the ALPs

This thesis investigates the phenomenology of axion-like particles (ALPs), hypothetical pseudo-Goldstone bosons (pGB) which are the telltale of hidden spontaneously broken global symmetries.

Sep 23 2024 - 11:00 to 13:00 Arturo de Giorgi The Phenomenological Landscape of Leptophilic ALPs

In this thesis, we consider model-building and phenomenology related to the simultaneous presence, alongside the Standard Model, of an Axion-Like Particle (ALP) and Heavy Neutral Leptons (HNLs).

Sep 17 2024 - 12:00 to 14:00 Alberto Castellano Mora The Quantum Gravity Scale and the Swampland

This thesis investigates the role of the quantum gravity cut-off for effective field theories (EFTs) coupled to Einstein gravity, with an emphasis on the Swampland program.

Sep 17 2024 - 10:00 to 12:00 Matilda Delgado Bordisms and Probes of Quantum Gravity

Our understanding of high-energy physics is rooted in quantum field theory defined over a background spacetime.

Sep 16 2024 - 16:00 to 18:00 Matteo Zatti Exploring String Theory Solutions: Black hole thermodynamics with α′ corrections and type II compactifications

String theory is the best example we have of a quantum theory of gravity.

Sep 16 2024 - 11:00 to 13:00 Alejandro Sáez Hadronic Physics and Scale Setting from Lattice QCD with Wilson-type fermions

We present a lattice QCD setup aimed at high-precision calculations of light- and charm-quark physics.

Sep 12 2024 - 10:00 to 12:00 Santiago Jaraba Gómez Stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds from primordial black holes

The field of gravitational waves has made a huge progress over the last decade, especially since their first detection by LIGO in September 2015.

Jul 1 2024 - 11:00 to 13:00 Alejandro Bris Cuerpo Precision in Event Shapes with Massive Quarks

In the quest of searching for physics beyond the Standard Model, increasing the control and precision on the theoretical predictions is of utmost importance to understand the origin of the discrepa
