HET and HEE Seminars

Upcoming HET and HEE Seminars



High Energy Theory Seminar: "TBA"

Daniel Harlow (MIT)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2


Experimental Particle Physics Seminar: Taking the low road: extending the reach of collider experiments with low-level detector information 

Grace Cummings (FNAL)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

Even in the time of streaming and industrial big-data, the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider still produce data of staggering size and rate. To combat this, low-level detector information is often…

Past HET and HEE Seminars



Experimental Particle Physics Seminar: LEGEND: new results and future prospects in the search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in 76Ge

Jason Detwiler (University of Washington)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

The Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Double-beta decay (LEGEND) aims to be the first to observe the creation of matter without matter in the form of neutrinoless double-beta decay, an L- and…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Renormalization Group in far-from-equilibrium states

Vladimir Rosenhaus (CUNY)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

We study renormalization group flows in far-from-equilibrium states. The study is made tractable by focusing on states that are spatially homogeneous, time-independent, and scale invariant. Such states, in…



Experimental Particle Physics Seminar: Accelerating the search for Sub-GeV Dark Matter

Christina Mantilla Suarez (UVA)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

Accelerator-based experiments provide a unique opportunity to expand the search for dark sector and rare processes in the MeV to GeV mass range, just below the proton mass. This largely unexplored regime is…



High Energy Theory Seminar: The Quantum Universe from Quantum Gravity

Yasunori Nomura (Berkeley)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

I will discuss issues involved in formulating a quantum theory of the universe, including nonperturbative aspects of quantum gravity. In particular, I will explore how to pose physically meaningful questions in…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Love numbers for astrophysical compact objects in theories beyond General Relativity

Kent Yagi (University of Virginia)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

One can probe nuclear physics with gravitational waves from a binary neutron star merger through measurements of a tidal Love number. The latter is a linear response coefficient of the stellar quadrupole moment…
