SUMMARY:SPS Journal Club: 'Generalised anomalies\, QCD\, and holography'
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘Generalised anomalies\, QCD\, and holography’ \nSpeaker: Mohammad Akhond (Dipartimento di Fisica & INFN\, Università di Roma  “Tor Vergata”) \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 \nAbstract: During the last decade\, the notion of an ‘t Hooft anomaly has been generalised to the case of discrete symmetries. An interesting instance\, discussed by Tanizaki\, is the mixed anomaly between the discrete axial symmetry and the flavour and baryonic symmetries in massless QCD. The goal of this talk is to provide a derivation of this anomaly from a top-down holographic dual of QCD. I will show that the topological couplings in the bulk supergravity dual of the D4-D8 system encode Tanizaki’s anomaly\, once fluctuations around the bulk gauge fields are turned on. A technical challenge for this computation is the difficulty in maintaining gauge invariance of supergravity theories in the presence of D-branes. To overcome this issue\, a compact formulation of the flux sector of (massive) type IIA supergravity in the presence of D8 branes is presented.

SUMMARY:Seminar: 'Exploring Effective Theories of Gauged Chiral Symmetries at the LHC and Beyond'
DESCRIPTION:Title: Exploring Effective Theories of Gauged Chiral Symmetries at the LHC and Beyond \nSpeaker: Felix Yu (Mainz U.) \nVenue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 \nAbstract: I discuss theoretical issues with constructing effective theories of gauged chiral symmetries\, taking a quark-universal U(1)_B symmetry as an example.  I will review the phenomenology of the Z-Z’-photon vertex and point out novelties regarding a non-renormalization theorem and connections to electroweak loop calculations and dimensional regularization. I also present the collider signatures from the exotic scalar sector and the characteristic nature of non-decoupling chiral matter.

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Thursday May21st and Friday May 22nd (during the usual coffee time). Both in the cafeteria\n\nThe EDI committee is hosting a small event this coming week to celebrate May 21st as the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development\, recognized by the UN and UNESCO.\n\nThursday:\nWorld map set up with pins and flags to mark our coubtries of origin\n\nFriday\nInternational potluck during Friday coffee.\n\nWhoever feels inspired can bring a small dish\, snack\, appetizer\, or dessert to share – ideally something representative of their own culture or country—so we can all enjoy and discover flavors from around the world together.

SUMMARY:Seminar: 'Weak Particles with a strong impact'
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘Weak Particles with a strong impact’ \nSpeaker: Aritra Gupta (Krea University\, India) \nVenue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 \nAbstract: Dark matter and neutrinos are among the most elusive particles in nature\, yet they play a central role in the evolution of the Universe. Their extremely weak interactions make them difficult to detect\, but also allow them to probe environments inaccessible to ordinary matter. \nIn this colloquium\, I will discuss how astrophysical systems and neutrino observatories can be used to explore the physics of dark matter and neutrinos beyond the Standard Model. I will present scenarios where dark matter and neutrino physics are intimately connected\, leading to observable consequences in cosmology and astroparticle experiments. I will also discuss how dark matter accumulated inside compact stellar environments can significantly modify supernova cooling along with other detectable indirect signatures. Throughout the talk\, I will highlight how compact stars\, neutrino detectors\, and astrophysical observations together provide new windows into the dark sector.

SUMMARY:Seminar by Marco Finetti (U. Aveiro)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘First Order Phase Transitions and Gravitational Waves’ \nVenue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 \nSpeaker: Marco Finetti (U. Aveiro) \nAbstract: The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be the first space-based gravitational wave (GW) detector\, opening a new observational window for both astrophysics and early-Universe cosmology. Operating in the millihertz band\, it will probe a rich superposition of GW signals. Astrophysical population models predict a sufficient number of signals in the LISA band to blend together and form an irresolvable Galactic foreground noise. In addition\, a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) of cosmological origin could add an unknown component to the measured noise. In this talk\, I will assess the bias induced on the parameter estimation of stochastic signals\, arising from the unresolved binaries buried within the cosmological signal. Using a representative SGWB model\, I will quantify the impact of this effect on the reconstruction of the foreground template parameters and\, most importantly\, on those of the SGWB model itself. Neglecting inter-template correlations can lead to significan biases\, and\, for several benchmark cases\, those biases exceed the statistical reconstruction uncertainties. These findings expose a key limitation of existing template-based strategies and indicate that unbiased component separation will likely require additional information\, such as constraints from resolved sources obtained through global-fit analyses.
