High Energy Theory seminar: "General hot attractors"
Vishnu Jejjala, University of the Witwatersrand
Non-extremal black holes such as the astrophysical black holes we encounter in the sky remain mysterious objects. As solutions to general relativity, they possess certain invariants. We extend prior investigations of…
Condensed Matter seminar: "Patterning Superconductivity in a Topological Insulator"
Nina Marković, Goucher College
Topologically protected states in combination with superconductivity hold promise for quantum computing applications, but the progress on electrical transport measurements in such systems has been impeded by the…
Experimental Particle Physics Seminar: "Coherent neutrino scattering"
Kate Scholberg, Duke University
Astronomy seminar: "Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter Candidates"
Cristiano Germani (ICC, Barcelona)
In this talk I will overview the physics of primordial black holes formation from single field inflationary models and discuss their statistical distribution.
High Energy Theory seminar: "Conformally Soft Photons and Gravitons"
Laura Donnay, Harvard University
In this talk, the four-dimensional S-matrix is reconsidered as a correlator on the celestial sphere at null infinity. Asymptotic particle states can be characterized by the point at which they enter or exit the…
Advances in Biomedical Optics seminar: “Traumatic microvascular injury: A potentially treatable endophenotype of TBI"
Ramon Diaz-Arrastia, University of Pennsylvania
Pizza will be served at 11:45 am.
Primakoff Lecture: "Dark Matter, Neutron Stars, and Gravitational Waves"
Ann Nelson, University of Washington
The recent observation of gravitational waves from merging neutron stars opens a new era for neutron star physics and astrophysics. I discuss the dark matter mystery and some of my work on
possible ways neutron…
Special Condensed Matter seminar: "Anomalous charge and thermal transport in antiferromagnetic Weyl semimetals"
Binghai Yan, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel
Topological Weyl semimetals provide a new stage to examine exotic transport phenomena such as the chiral anomaly and the anomalous Hall effect. In the ordinary longitudinal transport, the Wiedemann-Franz law links…
Joint High Energy Experiment/Theory seminar
Zack Lasner, Yale University
Condensed Matter seminar: "Delving Into the Nanoscale World With Thin-Film Nanofluidic Devices"
Jason R. Dwyer, University of Rhode Island
Thin film nanofluidic devices offer a diverse range of platform architectures and capabilities for nanoscale sample characterization and single-molecule sensing.
