Title: Scalar Relics from a Hot Big Bang in Theories of Fifth Forces, Abstract: Fifth force and equivalence principle tests search for new interactions by precisely measuring forces between macroscopic collections of atoms and molecules and their properties under free fall. In contrast, the early Universe plasma probes these interactions at a more fundamental level. […]
ML x Astro/Cosmo meetings are geared towards discussing new methods/ideas at the intersection of machine learning and astrophysics/cosmology.
TITLE: Microgels: Heroes or Villains in Soft Matter Science? ABSTRACT: to be announced Host: Bob Leheny
"Thinking about 10 TeV pCM Colliders," Abstract: Today, we have a "Standard Model" of particle physics that is in excellent agreement with experiment. In particular, a central feature of this model -- a phase transition in the early universe to a state of spontaneously broken symmetry --- was confirmed by the discovery of the Higgs […]

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 […]

After a hiatus of several years, the William H. Miller III Department of Physics & Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University is excited to announce the revival of the Physics Fair! Join us on Saturday, April 26 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for a day of fun, interactive exhibits and activities that explore the fascinating […]
Space@Hopkins is excited to invite you to our upcoming Seed Grant Symposium, on Tuesday, April 29 in Olin Hall Room 305 on the Johns Hopkins Homewood campus. This event will highlight recent innovative research supported by Space@Hopkins Seed Grants, with a series of brief “flash talks” from recipients representing a range of divisions across the […]
Title: Flowing behind the horizon, Abstract: Considering an analytic continuation of holographic Renormalization Group flows opens up the possibility of defining a monotonic a-function along all the flow, including the region behind the horizon. While the precise field-theoretical interpretation of such a monotonic function is an open question, holographically, thermal RG flows offer a natural […]
Title: Tracing light: on Linear and Nonlinear Terahertz Polaritonics in Quantum Paraelectrics, Abstract: The advancement of high-speed data processing and signal manipulation technologies has pushed the frontier into the terahertz (THz) frequency range, raising a fundamental challenge: how to efficiently control electromagnetic fields at these frequencies. This issue, often referred to as the "THz gap" in optical and […]
