Pheno Journal Club: ‘Is the Strong CP Problem Really a Problem?’
Gray Room 3 Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainJournal clubs_enSpeaker: Giulio Barni (IFT) Venue & Time: 14:30 – 15:30 Abstract: The vanishingly small value of the QCD θ-angle inferred from neutron EDM bounds is usually taken as evidence for the Strong CP Problem, prompting a wide range of proposed solutions. In this talk, I will first review what the Strong CP Problem is: why […]

EDI Trainings: ‘Intersectionality. Reflection on identity, privilege and positioning in academia’
Blue Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) - C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainScientific activities_enSpeaker: Shannah Khan. Director of Intersect Madrid Venue & Time: Blue Room / 3:30 PM Abstract: This workshop offers a space for reflection and dialogue to explore how our personal identities, experiences, and social positions influence the way we participate in academic contexts. Through participatory activities, it seeks to foster a deeper understanding of intersectionality […]

String, Pheno and the Swampland Journal Club: ‘Anomaly-induced vanishing of brane partition functions’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainJournal clubs_enSpeaker: Michelangelo Tartaglia (IFT) Venue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: In the presence of 't Hooft anomalies, backgrounds for the symmetries of a quantum field theory can lead to non-conservation of Noether currents, or more generally, to the presence of charged insertions in the path integral. When there is a net background charge, […]

Seminar: Constraining Muon decay parameters from CEvNS measurements at Spallation Sources
Scientific activities_enSpeaker: Suraj Prakash, IFIC (Valencia) Venue&Time: Red Room / 3:00 PM Abstract: The talk will present a study of the sensitivity of COHERENT-like experiments to non-standard neutrino interactions within the vWEFT framework, i.e. low-energy EFT with additional right-handed Dirac neutrinos. Our analysis incorporates, for the first time, flavor-general New Physics effects in both neutrino production […]

PhD dissertation: ‘Shedding light on extended scalar sectors’
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainPhD Dissertation_esBy Víctor Enguita Venue & Time: Red Room / 12:00 Abstract: The Standard Model has a number of traits which are surprising from the theoretical perspective and may hint the presence of some underlying hidden structure beyond the SM. In this thesis, we explored some of the open problems which materialize from those traits and […]

Seminar: Quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories with Rydberg atom arrays
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainSeminars_esSpeaker: Daniel González Cuadra (IFT) Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: Lattice gauge theories (LGTs) describe a broad range of phenomena in condensed matter and particle physics. A prominent example is confinement, responsible for bounding quarks inside hadrons such as protons or neutrons. When quark-antiquark pairs are separated, the energy stored in the string of […]

Holo Club: ‘Complexity equals anything for multi-horizon black holes’
Gray Room 3 Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) -C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, SpainJournal clubs_enSpeaker: Hong-Yue Jiang (Lanzhou University) Venue&Time: 11:30 / Gray Room 3 Abstract: We investigate the ``complexity equals anything" proposal with codimension-one and codimension-zero gravitational observables for multi-horizon black holes, using the Bardeen-AdS class black hole as an example. In particular, we compare the results with the ``complexity equals volume" (CV) proposal and find that the […]
