Title: Exploring Effective Theories of Gauged Chiral Symmetries at the LHC and Beyond Speaker: Felix Yu (Mainz U.) Venue & Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: 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 […]

Title: 'Weak Particles with a strong impact' Speaker: Aritra Gupta (Krea University, India) Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: 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 […]

Title: 'First Order Phase Transitions and Gravitational Waves' Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 Speaker: Marco Finetti (U. Aveiro) Abstract: 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 […]

Title: 'Classical Krylov probes and chaotic semiclassical strings' Speaker: Saskia Demulder (CUNEF) Venue&Time: Red Room / 15:00 Abstract: Quantum chaos is a central theme in string theory, but classical chaos is also a generic feature of semiclassical string dynamics. Motivated by the need to explore the broad landscape of non-integrable string dynamics, I will introduce […]
