Past Seminars



High Energy Theory Seminar: Cornering axion(s) with direct detection and stellar probes

Edoardo Vitagliano (Hebrew U.)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

Feebly interacting particles (FIPs), such as axions, scalars, dark photons, and majorons, are often theoretically well motivated, and a dark sector including one or more of them can both have the…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Coherence in the sky: from precision astrometry to black holes and hidden particles

Masha Baryakhtar (U. Wash)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4N12

In the era of a wealth of data from the sky, new perspectives can lead to parametric improvements in discovery reach.  I will discuss two ideas that make use of surprising properties of coherent radiation to open new…



Astrophysics Seminar: Constraining Galaxy Formation And Baryonic Effects On LSS With Observations Of The Thermal And Kinetic SZ Effects

Nick Battaglia (Cornell University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4E19

A new window into the growth and evolution of large-scale structure has opened up with the recent observations of the thermal and kinetic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effects. I will…



High Energy Theory Seminar: de Sitter as an Axion Detector

John Stout (Harvard)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3W2

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…



High Energy Theory Seminar: Squaring Charges and finding Black Holes

Mariana Carrillo Gonzalez (Imperial)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 2E17

Nowadays, we have an outstanding grasp of gauge theories on both experimental and theoretical fronts. Meanwhile, our understanding of gravitational physics has advanced greatly, but many mysteries remain…
