Upcoming HET and HEE Seminars



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…

Past HET and HEE Seminars



High Energy Theory Seminar: Free-falling in Quantum Spacetime

Maulik Parikh (Arizona State University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

Gravity is usually regarded classically, obeying Newton's law or Einstein's equations. Here I will show that, when the gravitational field is treated quantum-mechanically, the classical trajectories of freely falling…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Universal Bounds in interface conformal field theories

Andreas Karch (UT Austin)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

Critical phenomena in the presence of interfaces provide a much richer arena than their more studied cousin of boundary critical phenomena. In this talk, I'll review certain observables that are new and unique…



Experimental Particle Physics Seminar: Development of high precision 4D-trackers for future experiments

Artur Apresyan (FNAL)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

I will present recent progress towards the development of 4D-trackers with high granularity in position in time. As future colliders move to higher energy collisions, with increased particle occupancy, the need…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Gravitational waves with astrometry in the Gaia era

Deyan Mihaylov (Case Western Reserve University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

Gravitational waves have a periodic effect on the apparent positions of stars on the sky. This effect can be quantified and ultra-precise astrometric measurements (like the ones from Gaia)…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Comments on the density matrix of the universe in two dimensional quantum cosmology

Finn Larsen (UMichigan)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

I discuss work in progress on obtaining a reasonable density matrix of the universe in two dimensional quantum cosmology. I will do so by comparing aspects of the Hilbert space of closed universes in JT gravity…
