Upcoming HET and HEE Seminars



High Energy Theory Seminar: CMB limits on decaying dark matter: going beyond the ionization threshold

Wenzer Qin (NYU)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

The temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have been used to set constraints on decaying dark matter models down to keV masses. In this talk, I will discuss recent work to…

Past HET and HEE Seminars



High Energy Theory Seminar: Holography and symmetries of supersymmetric Chern-Simons theories

Oren Bergman (Israel Institute of Technology)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

I will derive the symmetry theories of the 3d N=6 and N=5 supersymmetric Chern-Simons-Matter theories from holography.

Focusing on a specific variant of the N=5 theory that has a non-abelian…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Gravitational-wave memory effects from binary-black-hole mergers

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

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration has detected nearly one hundred black-hole mergers in its first three observing runs and is finding several candidate mergers every week during its ongoing fourth run. These mergers…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Averaged null energy and the renormalization group

Tom Hartman (Cornell University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

The averaged null energy condition, or ANEC, is a fundamental bound on negative energy in quantum field theory. It has applications ranging from black holes to quantum information to the 3D Ising model,…



Experimental Particle Physics: The Future of Thermal Relic Dark Matter

Matthew Baumgart (ASU)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

The idea that dark matter is nothing more than a “heavy neutrino” that froze out after reheating has long been a seductive one. Indirect detection experiments are just now entering an era where the simplest candidate…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Milky Way satellite galaxies as probe for dark matter

Ariane Dekker (University of Chicago)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

Small-scale dark matter structures provide an important window into primordial density fluctuations and the microphysical properties of dark matter. Deviations from the standard LCDM model can significantly alter the…
