Past Seminars
High Energy Theory Seminar: Two dimensional QCD as a string theory
Ofer Aharony (Weizmann Institute of Science)
50 years after the duality of large N gauge theories to string theories was suggested, we still do not have a constructive method to find the string dual of a given gauge theory. I will review work in progress (in…
Astrophysics Seminar: High-resolution images of light dark matter — First results of the DAMIC-M experiment
Radomir Smida (University of Chicago)
The DAMIC-M experiment will exploit the sub-electron resolution capabilities of skipper charge-coupled devices (CCDs) to search for light dark matter particles in a broad range of masses from 1 eV to 10 GeV. A…
High Energy Theory Seminar: Making massive spin-2 particles from gravity during and after inflation
Andrew Long (Rice University)
The phenomenon of cosmological gravitational particle production (CGPP) occurs during and after inflation as quantum fields “feel” the cosmological expansion are excited out of their ground state. CGPP is a…
Astrophysics Seminar: SPHEREx: An all-sky near-infrared spectral survey
Howard Hui (Caltech)
SPHEREx, an upcoming NASA medium-class Explorer Mission, will perform the first all-sky near infrared spectral survey. With a targeted launch date in early 2025, SPHEREx will map the entire sky at 6.2 arcsec from 0.…
High Energy Theory Seminar: Black Holes as the 21st century laboratory: New Tools and Prospects
Alfredo Guevara González (Harvard)
Recent breakthrough observations of black holes call for a new conceptual framework that unifies their analysis, from gravitational wave production to VLBI imaging of the photon ring. I will show how this is achieved…
