Title: Precision measurements are having a moment: recent results in leptons and why they matter, Abstract: The past three years have seen three dipole-moment measurements of record-breaking accuracy – the magnetic dipole moments (aka “g-2”) of the muon and of the electron, and the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron. I will focus at first […]
TITLE: New perspectives on the cold neutral interstellar medium: from the Milky Way to nearby galaxies, ABSTRACT: The neutral interstellar medium (ISM) is a vital player in the star formation process, based on its major contribution to the ISM's mass, and bears the brunt of the stellar feedback. In particular, the diffuse ISM is not […]
Mysteries of the Higgs Boson, ABSTRACT: Thirty-five years after it was postulated as a key component of the theory of weak interactions, the Higgs boson was discovered at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2012. Since that time, the major couplings of the Higgs boson have been measured at the LHC, with results in good […]
