Experimental Particle Physics: Search for leptonic CP Violation: Insights from the contemporary experiments

Zoya Vallari (Caltech)

Once an unlikely hypothesis not foreseen by the Standard Model, the existence of non-zero neutrino mass is now a well-accepted, experimentally verified fact. The extraordinary smallness of the neutrino mass and the…

Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: Hybrid superconducting photonic circuits and quantum frequency conversion

Hong Tang (Yale University)

Microwave-to-optical converters represent an indispensable component for quantum networks. Integrating photonics with superconductors is challenging because optical excitations lead to excess…

High Energy Theory Seminar: Perturbations of Gibbons-Maeda Black Holes in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton Theories

Christopher Pope (Texas A&M University)

The study of perturbations around black hole backgrounds in general relativity and Einstein-Maxwell theory has a long history, going back to Regge and Wheeler in the 1950s. In view of more recent developments in…

Astrophysics seminar: "TBA"

Fiona McCarthy (Cambridge and CCA)

Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: Topology, Spin and Orbital in DNA-type Chiral Quantum Materials

Binghai Yan (Weizmann Institute of Science)

In chemistry and biochemistry, chirality represents the structural asymmetry characterized by non-superimposable mirror images for a material like DNA. In physics, however, chirality commonly refers…

Abraham Kahn

High Energy Theory Seminar: Testing Beyond Slow-Roll Inflation Across Large and Small Cosmic Scales

Matteo Braglia (NYU)

Inflation is widely recognized as the leading theory for explaining the origin of the Big Bang. While the simplest slow-roll models predict a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of primordial density perturbations,…

Astrophysics seminar: The James Webb Space Telescope: A New Era for Space Exploration

Mike McElwain (NASA)

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, infrared
space telescope designed to transform space science by observing targets
from within our own Solar System to the first light in the Universe (and…
