Experimental Particle Physics: Expanding Horizons: Novel Strategies in low mass BSM Physics Exploration with CMS

Abhijith Gandrakota (Fermilab)
- David Rittenhouse Labs, 2C6

In the pursuit of Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics, the CMS experiment has employed unconventional techniques to uncover elusive phenomena. This presentation delves into three pivotal aspects of this effort…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Staggered bosons, staggered  clock models and supersymmetry on the lattice

David Berenstein (UCSB)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

I will describe constructions of lattice field theories that assign a single bosonic variable to each site, rather a conjugate pair x,p. The information to realize a non-trivial dynamics is realized by non-trivial…



Astrophysics Seminar: How micro galaxies could help constrain the properties of dark matter

Raphael Errani (Carnegie Mellon University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

Guided by the recent discovery of the faint Milky Way satellite UMa3/UnionsI, in this talk I will present the results of our controlled high-resolution simulations to discuss how ”micro galaxies” could be…



High Energy Theory Seminar: The complex Liouville string

Victor Rodriguez (UCSB)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

I will introduce the complex Liouville string, a solvable critical worldsheet string theory defined by coupling two Liouville theories with complex conjugate central charges c = 13 ± is. By harnessing the non-…



Astrophysics Seminar: What can we learn from the evolution of galaxy sizes?

Kalina Nedkova (Johns Hopkins University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

Galaxies have grown significantly in size since the early Universe. While quiescent galaxies grow primarily through galaxy mergers, star-forming galaxies grow by accreting gas from their surroundings and forming new…
