TITLE: A first search for massive non-resonant leptoquarks coupling to first and second generation fermions using the CMS detector ABSTRACT: I present an overview of the first search for nonresonant leptoquarks (LQs) that couple up and down quarks to electrons and muons using the CMS detector. The nonresonant exchange of LQs presents the opportunity to […]
Introductory talks by incoming Space Telescope Science Institute postdoctoral fellows.
Talk titles will be available on the CAS wiki page.
TITLE: Quasi-normal modes of rotating black holes beyond General Relativity ABSTRACT: In this talk, I will summarize the recent advancements of quasi-normal modes in alternative theories of gravity. I will explain the main issues in computing the characteristic frequencies of rotating black holes and what are the most prominent strategies to tackle this problem. The […]
Condensed Matter & Biological Physics Seminar: Matthieu Wyart (EPFL and JHU)
TITLES: Utilizing off-shell Higgs Boson production at the LHC in H* ->ZZ->4l: (i) measuring its properties and (ii) novel extensions. ABSTRACT: The Higgs boson is the last observed addition to the Standard Model, and due to its couplings to other fundamental particles, provides a promising portal through which we can potentially probe new physics. The […]
Title: White Dwarf Supernovae JHU/STScI Joint Colloquium: Saurabh Jha (Rutgers)
TITLE: The Many Frontiers of High Magnetic Field Research, ABSTRACT: The National MagLab in the United States exists to provide magnetic fields that are more than a million times stronger than the Earth’s magnetic field to thousands of visiting researchers every year. Why would anyone want to do such a thing? It turns out that magnetic […]
TITLE: Decoding Astrophysics from inspiraling LISA Massive Black Hole Binaries ABSTRACT: Our current understanding is that an environment – mainly consisting of gas, stars, or a third massive black hole (MBH) – is required to bring MBH binaries (MBHBs) with total mass ∼ MSun to near-merger from parsec separation. The final inspiral is driven by […]
Talk titles will be available on the CAS wiki page.
TITLE: CMB limits on decaying dark matter: going beyond the ionization threshold ABSTRACT: The temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have been used to set constraints on decaying dark matter models down to keV masses. In this talk, I will discuss recent work to extend these limits down into the sub-keV […]
