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 stars…
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.
Astronomy seminar: "The Hercules Stream: stars on Trojan orbits visiting the solar vicinity"
Elena D’Onghia (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
The origin of the stars with coherent velocities discovered in the solar neighborhood remains uncertain, but their dynamics and evolution are key to understanding the dynamics of the Galactic stellar disk…
Special Seminar: "This Is Not A Diversity Talk"
John Asher Johnson, Harvard University
The American discourse on the various disparities present in society generally, and academia specifically, focuses primarily on observations of the state of a given situation---e.g. a lack of …
