Charting the Uncharted: Hamiltonian Truncation and Real-Time Dynamics in Strongly Coupled Field Theories

Room 112 (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Brian Henning (Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics/UCSB) Strong-coupling phenomena—ranging from exotic meson structures to the rich QCD phase diagram impacting heavy ion collisions, neutron stars, and early-universe transitions—pose challenges that have long eluded our conventional perturbative and lattice tools. In this colloquium, I will present a novel nonperturbative approach based on Hamiltonian truncation (HT), ... Read more

New Physics from New Paradigms

Room 417A (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Gilly Elor (University of Texas, Austin) I will present an overview of my short and long term research plans. I will begin by presenting more background behind my colloquium topic: mesogenesis. The goal of my 4-year mesogenesis research plan is to enable the discovery (or complete exclusion) of all variations of this mechanism. I ... Read more

Mesogenesis

Room 112 (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Gilly Elor (University of Texas, Austin) What is the Universe made of?  Why do complex structures such as ourselves exist?  I will present my proposal for simultaneously solving both these outstanding mysteries of particle physics: Mesogenesis, which generates both the observed asymmetry of matter over antimatter in the early Universe, and the population of Dark ...

Quantum Discord at the Large Hadron Collider

Room 417A (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Matthew Low (University of Pittsburgh) The treatment of outgoing particles at high-energy colliders as qubits in a quantum system has recently enabled the application of quantum information tools to high-energy physics. This began with the study of quantum entanglement between a top quark and an anti-top quark, which has already been measured in experiments ... Read more

Hidden Naturalness in Cosmology and at Colliders

Room 420 (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Matthew Low (University of Pittsburgh) One of the enduring mysteries in particle physics is the lightness of the Higgs mass which is known as the electroweak hierarchy problem. Traditionally, colliders have been the leading tool to search for theories that solve this problem. In recent years, however, data from the Large Hadron Collider has ... Read more

Confining Dark Sectors: from Novel Dynamics to Rich Phenomenology

Room 417A (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Pouya Asadi (University of Oregon) Potential non-minimal dynamics governing the dark matter interactions can have drastic implications for their phenomenology and can inform our search strategies. In this talk I advocate for meticulous studies of a broad class of next-to-minimal models, namely Confining Dark Sectors. I will argue that such dark sectors establish a ... Read more

Beyond Minimal Dark Matter Models and their Novel Dynamics in the Early Universe

Room 112 (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Pouya Asadi (University of Oregon) The particle nature of dark matter is currently one of the biggest open questions of particle physics. In this colloquium I will review some of the evidence for the existence of the dark matter and discuss the need for its non-gravitational interactions with the Standard Model. I will also ...

Dark Matter and Graviton Freeze-in from Warm Inflation

Room 420 (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Barmak Shams Es Haghi (University of Texas, Austin) In this talk, I will present a novel perspective on the role of inflation in the production of Dark Matter (DM). Specifically, I will explore the DM production during Warm Inflation via ultraviolet Freeze-In (WIFI). After a brief review of DM production from a thermal bath, ... Read more

Application of FPGA devices in experimental high-energy physics

Room 112 (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Yun-Tsung Lai (KEK) Abstract: In the high-energy experiments, especially for those with high luminosity collider, the data acquisition system is designed to be capable of handling large event rate and data size. Electronics devices with Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and Field-Programmable-Gate-Array (FPGA) are essential to perform real-time processing on the data from particle ... Read more

New Detection Channels for Sub-GeV Dark Matter

Room 420 (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Bhaskar Dutta (Texas A&M university) In this talk, I will present new detection channels for light dark matter, with a particular focus on utilizing proton beam dump–based neutrino facilities. The high-intensity beams at these experiments open up the possibility of probing previously unexplored regions of light dark matter parameter space. These detection strategies are ... Read more

Publish, Don’t Perish! “Writing for Academic Publication” Workshop

Room 112 (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Issac Wang, Siobhan K. H. Brimhali Come all! This highly interactive workshop, presented in coordination with the Writing Center, is designed to enhance some of the foundational tools needed to successfully present your research to an academic journal audience. Some of the topics that will be covered are "structuring a paper for journals in ... Read more

Public lecture: “How to Know a Neutrino from a Hole in the Ground!” by Nobel Laureate Professor Emeritus Art McDonald, SNOLab

Bildger Hall 152

To understand what’s above, some particle physicists are seeking answers below the Earth. Nobel Laureate and Queen’s Professor Emeritus Arthur McDonald will lecture on the topic of how researchers are uncovering the nature of the Universe and neutrinos from underground laboratories including  SNOLAB in Sudbury, Canada. Dr. McDonald received the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics ... Read more
