Shedding light below the Higgs: searches for low mass resonances in ATLAS ¶
Abstract: The discovery of the Higgs boson added a fundamental piece to the Standard Model, but it also opened new questions about the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking and possible connections to hidden sectors. A…
Quantum simulation of quantum field theories ¶
Abstract: It might seem that mainstream in Quantum Computing nowadays is completely focused on beating classical computers -quantum supremacy- in tasks with -quantum utility- or without practical applications. However, i…
[extra] Krypton nuclei as drivers of the new asymmetric fission island in the subactinide region ¶
Abstract: Fission is the nuclear process by which a nucleus splits into fragments. Although this reaction was discovered nearly 90 years ago, it remains a major fundamental challenge, both experimentally, as data are dif…
A Cosmic Warehouse for Astrophysics: What can we learn from Galaxy Clusters? ¶
Abstract: Galaxy clusters are the end products of the hierarchical formation of structures in the universe in the ΛCDM paradigm. Despite their great masses, clusters are relatively young systems -- some of which are viri…
Strings without supersymmetry ¶
Abstract: String theory provides a consistent microscopic framework for gravity and the other fundamental interactions. However, the string-derived models that we understand best differ from our universe in a key aspect:…
Gravitational particle production and leptogenesis ¶
Abstract: In a curved spacetime, the definition of particles depends on the observer's frame of reference. Consequently, in non-stationary spacetimes, such as those present in the Early Universe during and after inflatio…
[extra] Structure and dynamics of the local group galaxies ¶
Abstract: As the expansion of the universe continues to accelerate, the internal secular evolution of galaxies becomes more important as the distance between galaxies generally increases. The largest galaxies in the loca…
[extra] Early (z>=2) massive quenched galaxies: accurate merger tree modelling and insights from COLIBRE ¶
Abstract: Understanding how massive quenched galaxies at z>=2, recently revealed in unexpectedly large numbers by JWST, form and evolve requires accurate models. I will first discuss challenges in semi-analytic models, w…
