Upcoming Events

Constraints on Quantum Gravity
Hiroshi Oguri, Caltech
Event Type: Physics Dept Colloquium
Date: Thursday, September 21, 2023
Time: 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Location: 726 Broadway, 940, CCPP Seminar
Abstract: Although predictions of quantum gravity are typically at extremely high energy, several non-trivial constraints on its low energy effective theory have been found over the last decade or so. I will start by explaining why the unification of general relativity and quantum mechanics has been difficult. After introducing the holographic principle as our guide to the unification, I will discuss its use in finding constraints on symmetry in quantum gravity. I will also discuss other conjectural constraints on low energy effective theories, collectively called swampland conditions, and their consequences.

(Towards) Cosmology and astrophysics with the Euclid mission
Giulio Fabbian, Cardiff University/Flatiron Institute
Event Type: Astro Seminar
Date: Tuesday, September 26, 2023
Time: 2:00 PM - 3:15 PM
Location: 726 Broadway, 940, CCPP Seminar
Abstract: Euclid is a medium class mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) with contributions from NASA. It was launched in July 2023 and it is currently in its commissioning phase. Euclid will provide high-resolution optical imaging, as well as near-infrared imaging and spectroscopy, over approximately 15 000 deg2 of extragalactic sky. The main goal of the mission is to probe the structure formation paradigm over half the age of the Universe through accurate measurements of gravitational lensing and galaxy clustering. However, its data will be an exquisite resource for a large number of science cases, ranging from the study of the Solar system to galaxy formation. In this talk I will review the status of the mission and its ongoing science activities. I will discuss in more detail a biased selection of topics related to cosmological applications of the Euclid dataset alone and in combination with upcoming Cosmic Microwave Background observations, building on examples of recent studies using current datasets.

The Two Scales of New Physics in Higgs Couplings
Gabriele Rigo, Saclay
Event Type: Informal HEP Talk
Date: Wednesday, September 27, 2023
Time: 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Location: 726 Broadway, 940, CCPP Seminar
Abstract: Higgs coupling deviations from Standard Model predictions contain information about two scales of Nature: that of new physics responsible for the deviation, and the scale where new bosons must appear. The two can coincide, but they do not have to. The scale of new bosons can be calculated by going beyond an effective field theory description of the coupling deviation. I will discuss model-independent upper bounds on the scale of new bosons for deviations in Higgs to WW and ZZ couplings, and explain how any measured deviation at present or future colliders requires the existence of new bosons within experimental reach. This has potentially interesting implications for naturalness.

Tetraquarks, Pentaquarks and Exotic Hadrons
Marek Karliner, Tel Aviv University
Event Type: Physics Dept Colloquium
Date: Thursday, October 12, 2023
Time: 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Location: 726 Broadway, 940, CCPP Seminar
Abstract: In the recent years experiments have observed a plethora of unusual hadrons which do not conform to the usual paradigm of quark-antiquark mesons and three-quark baryons. They always contain both heavy and light quarks. I will discuss the very recent related experimental and theoretical developments regarding such “exotic” states — tetraquark and pentaquark hadronic molecules, doubly heavy baryons and most strikingly, a four quark state which is stable under strong interactions.

Constraining supernovae models using gamma-ray deposition histories
Amir Sharon, Weizmann Institute of Science
Event Type: Informal Astro Talk
Date: Monday, October 16, 2023
Time: 2:00 PM - 3:15 PM
Location: 726 Broadway, 940, CCPP Seminar
Abstract: Supernovae explosions pose numerous challenges when modeling their complex and dynamic nature. I will propose a method to overcome one of the main obstacles in this regard - modeling the observed light through radiation transfer, which is inherently uncertain. The method capitalizes on the fact that the primary energy source of most supernovae consists of high-energy gamma rays emitted by the decay products of Ni56. By studying the incomplete energy deposition of these gamma-ray photons, we can calculate observables that can be derived easily from models utilizing basic, well-known physics. This approach can effectively limit and, in some cases, eliminate certain explosion models more robustly than conventional radiation transfer techniques. We have applied this methodology to various types of supernovae, and have found that in many instances, there are significant disparities between the models and the observations. Notably, this holds true for Type Ia supernovae, where all currently known models are in tension with the observed characteristics.

Tidal Squeezing of Black Holes
Maria J Rodriguez, Utah State University (On sabbatical at BHI, Harvard)
Event Type: HEP Seminar
Date: Wednesday, October 25, 2023
Time: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Location: 726 Broadway, 940, CCPP Seminar
Abstract: Over the past three years, tidal squeezing of black holes has become a topic of debate. Tidal deformation is a significant phenomenon observed in various astronomical scenarios, including black holes, and are a key gravitational-wave observable encoding information about the object's interior. Relying on hidden symmetries, compelling progress has been achieved to explain that Kerr black holes suffer no tidal distortion under a static gravitational external field. How is tidal squeezing of black holes characterized in more general scenarios? An elementary presentation of tidal squeezing of black holes will be given.
