Physics Calendar

The Physics calendar contains High Energy Theory events hosted by the Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University. A condensed version of the calendar is sent to the general Physics mailing list on Friday afternoons. Reminder emails are sent the morning of the event. If you are a local faculty member, postdoc or graduate student and would like to be added to the general Physics mailing list, please contact Lisa Fleischer, lisa@ias.edu

IAS Amplitudes Group Meeting

Surface Gauge Invariance: Soft Limits and the Transmutation of Gluons into Scalars

Jeffrey Backus

2:30pm|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: It is well-known that amplitudes in Yang-Mills theory are severely constrained by the requirement of gauge invariance. In this talk, I will explore two aspects of YM amplitudes where (surface) gauge invariance plays a paramount role. First...

Princeton University Dark Cosmos Seminar

When Stars Explode: New Physics in Supernovae

Claudio Andrea Manzari

4:00pm|Jadwin Hall, Joe Henry Room

Abstract: Astrophysical events such as core-collapse supernovae (SN) and neutron star mergers offer unique opportunities to explore physics beyond the Standard Model. In this seminar, I will provide an overview of the mechanisms underlying these...

Princeton University High Energy Theory Seminar

Graviton Loops and Negativity

Cyuan-Han Chang

2:00pm|Jadwin Hall, PCTS Room 407

Abstract: We consider dispersive bounds on Wilson coefficients of scalar effective field theories (EFT) coupled to gravity in various spacetime dimensions, including the contributions from graviton loops to the sum rules at low energies. Dispersion...
