The Institute for Theoretical Physics (IFT) and the Department of Theoretical Physics (DFT) would like to invite you to the “2 Minutes Meeting”, which will take place on Monday, November 24 at 10:00 AM in the Aula Polivalente (UAM). This event is open to all DFT and IFT members and aims to help us get to […]
Speaker: Miguel Zumalacárregui from Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute). Venue&Time: Red Room / 3:00 PM Abstract: Gravitational lensing, the bending of light by gravity, is essential for interpreting astronomical observations and provides key insight into astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. A new frontier in gravitational lensing intersects with another key prediction […]
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.
Speaker: 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 […]
Speaker: 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 […]
Defensa de la memoria anual 2025 del programa Momentum "Técnicas Computacionales en la frontera de la Transición Digital para Física de Partículas y Cosmología" Speaker: Emilio Ambite
Speaker: 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, […]
Speaker: 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 […]
By 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 […]
Speaker: 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 […]
