Title: 'UV completion of extended Higgs models via the confinement of SU(2) gauge' Speaker: Yushi Mura (KEK) Venue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: The extended Higgs sectors are often introduced to explain phenomena beyond the standard model. On the other hand, the existence of multiple scalar fields may cause the Landau pole below […]
Sergio Rodríguez (IFT) will present "Threshold production of heavy top quarks: QCD and the Higgs boson" by Matthew J. Strassler and Michael E. Peskin. Abstract: We calculate the threshold cross section for 𝑒+𝑒−→tt¯ to leading-logarithmic order in QCD, using a nonrelativistic approximation suggested by Fadin and Khoze. We study the mass range 100≤𝑚𝑡≤250 GeV, and show […]
Speaker: Zoltan Fodor (Penn State U.) Venue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 Title: The Muon Magnetic Moment Mystery: a 20-year puzzle in high-energy physics Abstract: In the last two decades or so there have been stronger and stronger disagreements between direct measurements of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and the standard-model prediction. Such a […]
Title: Holographic fluids with higher-form symmetries Speaker: André Oliveira (Heriot-Watt University) Venue & Time: Grey Room 3 / 11:30 Abstract: Higher-form symmetries are ubiquitous in physics. In this talk, I focus on the case where they are continuous and encode the conservation of extended objects. Applications include elasticity, superfluidity and phases of electromagnetism. Using holography, […]
Every Tuesday at 2:00 PM in the discussion room on the 5th floor. Join the IFT cosmology/gravity journal club at benty-fields.com to vote for papers and volunteer to present them.
Yuber Perez-Gonzalez (IFT) will present: 'The Cosmic Neutrino Background is within Reach of Future Neutrino Telescopes' Venue & Time: Gray Room 3 / 12:00 Abstract: The cosmic neutrino background (CνB) can be boosted to high energies due to scatterings with energetic cosmic rays (CRs) across cosmological scales. Previous calculations focused on neutral current incoherent and […]
Léo Veissière (IFT) will present: 'Hilltop quintessence, the LARGE Volume Scenario and varying-tension cosmic strings' Venue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 Recent observational data suggests that the dark energy equation of state parameter wDE is evolving with time, in apparent tension with the ΛCDM standard model of cosmology. Here we review these observational results, […]
Chuying Wang (IFT) will present 'Supersymmetry and morse theory' by Edward Witten J. DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY 17 (1982) 661-692 Venue & Time: Blue Room / 17:00 Abstract: It is shown that the Morse inequalities can be obtained by consideration of a certain supersymmetric quantum mechanics Hamiltonian. Some of the implications of modern ideas in mathematics […]
