Past Seminars
High Energy Theory Seminar: Topological defects on the worldsheet
Konstantinous Roumpedakis (Johns Hopkins University)
In this talk, I will discuss the implications of non-invertible topological defects on the worldsheet. I will consider two different setups where such defects arise in string theory. The first setup is toroidal…
Experimental Particle Physics: Searching for Exotic and Rare Physics Processes with Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber Detectors
Daisy Kalra (Columbia University)
Neutrinos are some of the most abundant but elusive particles in the universe. The groundbreaking discovery of neutrino oscillations, recognized by the 2015 Nobel Prize, revealed the existence of non-zero neutrino…
High Energy Theory Seminar: Search for exotic Higgs boson decays with CMS and fast machine learning solutions for the LHC
Ho Fung Tsoi (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
There is still room for BSM physics in the scalar sector, which could manifest as Higgs boson decays to a pair of light pseudoscalars. I will present a search for such decay in final states with two b quarks and two…
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…
