Title: Photonic Pseudomagnetism and Landau Levels Abstract: When electrons moving in a two-dimensional plane are subject to a perpendicular magnetic field they move in circles called cyclotron orbits as a result of the Lorentz force. Treated quantum mechanically, these orbits become quantized like the orbitals of an atom, forming highly degenerate states called Landau levels. In this talk, […]
High Energy Physics Theory Seminar: Monica Kang Bloomberg 447 April 26, 2024 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Informal science discussions and coffee, open to the entire department.
We meet every Tuesday at 1pm, Eastern time, in the CafeCon (the conference room next to the STScI cafeteria), and also remotely using BlueJeans. We start with a talk by guest speaker for ~30 minutes, followed by paper discussion. Vote for what papers you want discussed on Benty-Fields. Sign up for e-mails by sending a […]
Title: “Higgs-Confinement Transitions in QCD from Symmetry Protected Topological Phases” Abstract: In gauge theories with fundamental matter, such as QCD, there is typically no sharp way to distinguish confining and Higgs regimes because there are no suitable order parameters. It is standard lore that these two regimes are continuously connected. In this talk I will […]

Title: de Sitter as an Axion Detector Abstract: Axions, scalar fields with compact field spaces, are some of the most well-motivated candidates for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this talk, I will explain how inflationary correlations are uniquely sensitive to the topology of a scalar's field space, and can thus be used to distinguish […]
Title: The Dawn of Multi-Messenger Collider Physics Abstract: The recent detection of neutrinos at the LHC has ushered in a new era of multi-messenger collider physics. Up to 2022, neutrinos had never been directly detected in the 50-year history of particle colliders. In 2023, the first 153 neutrinos were detected at FASER, a small, inexpensive […]
