SUMMARY:Astrophysics Weekly Seminar: Prof. Ludovic van Waerbeke – Can dar
 k energy emerge from the standard model of particle physics?
DESCRIPTION:Title\nCan dark energy emerge from the standard model of partic
 le physics?\nAbstract\nThe discovery of cosmic acceleration established da
 rk energy as one of the central problems in cosmology. In the standard cos
 mological model\, dark energy is described by a cosmological constant\, ye
 t its extremely small value remains difficult to reconcile with expectatio
 ns from quantum field theory. Recent DESI results\, combined with other co
 smological probes\, suggest that dark energy may evolve with cosmic time. 
 In this talk\, I will first review the observational evidence for dark ene
 rgy\, what current data tell us about its properties\, and why evolving da
 rk energy is theoretically challenging. I will then discuss the possibilit
 y that dark energy may not require a new particle or field\, but could ins
 tead emerge from known but overlooked physics within the Standard Model of
  particle physics.

SUMMARY:SPC Seminar – Plasma – Farhat Beg (UCSD)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Farhat Beg (UCSD)\nTitle: Proton Heating in Integrated
  Proton Fast Ignition Experiments\nAbstract: Proton fast ignition (PFI) is
  an alternative inertial confinement fusion (ICF) concept that promises hi
 gh gain suitable for inertial fusion energy applications. In this concept\
 , a short-pulse\, high-intensity laser is used to generate an energetic pr
 oton beam that efficiently couples’ energy into a pre-compressed fuel as
 sembly. This enables ignition conditions to be reached with less stringent
  symmetry and driver energy requirements than in the conventional hot-spot
  approach.\nWe report on the first integrated PFI campaign at the Omega La
 ser Facility that included both the compression and ignition phases to mea
 sure the temperature increase in the compressed core due to proton heating
 . In the recent experiment\, we increased the short-pulse laser intensity 
 by a factor of 6 and observed a 3× improvement in the proton maximum cuto
 ff energy and a 6× enhancement in the yield of >10 MeV protons that prima
 rily heat the core. X-ray spectroscopy data reveal dominant Heα and Heβ 
 features consistent with heating of the compressed core. Implosion traject
 ories obtained from radiation-hydrodynamics simulations agree well with ex
 periments and indicate an implosion velocity of approximately 70 km/s for 
 an implosion energy of 10 kJ. A detailed comparison of the measured implos
 ion trajectories\, velocities\, and proton energy spectra with radiation-h
 ydrodynamics and PIC simulations will be presented.

SUMMARY:String theory seminar: Davide Cassani
DESCRIPTION:Title: Decoupling saddles of the gravitational index and the Fa
 rey tail\nAbstract: The talk explores the relation between gravitational s
 addles computing supersymmetric indices in asymptotically flat and AdS spa
 cetimes\, focusing on the D1-D5 system. Starting from five-dimensional sad
 dles of the gravitational supersymmetric index\, I will describe how a typ
 e IIB uplift and a decoupling limit yield asymptotically AdS_3 × S^3 conf
 igurations. These include horizonless geometries associated with fractiona
 l spectral flow in the dual CFT_2\, and families of black hole saddles rel
 ated by modular transformations. The construction extends the familiar mod
 ular family of BTZ black holes to backgrounds with nontrivial orbifold ide
 ntifications and establishes their asymptotically flat origin. Their on-sh
 ell actions\, including nontrivial modular phases\, precisely match the co
 rresponding contributions to the Farey-tail expansion of the D1-D5 ellipti
 c genus\, providing a sharp connection between gravitational saddles and m
 icroscopic counting.

SUMMARY:HEP seminar: Georgios Melachroinos (NKUA) – Combined measurement 
 of the differential branching fractions and isospin asymmetries in six rar
 e b → sµµ decays with the CMS experiment.
DESCRIPTION:In the standard mode\, rare b → sμμ decays are forbidden at
  tree level. Instead\, they proceed through electroweak penguin and box di
 agrams\, leading to branching fractions of O(10⁻⁷). Over the past deca
 de\, measurements performed by several experiments have revealed an intrig
 uing pattern: the observed branching fractions of particles decaying via t
 he specific transition tend to be lower than many of the most precise theo
 retical predictions. In this talk\, we present the measurements of the CP-
 averaged differential branching fractions as functions of the squared dimu
 on invariant mass\, q² = m²(μμ) of six rare decays\, B⁺ → K⁺μμ
 \, B⁺ → K*⁺μμ\, B⁰ → K⁰μμ\, B⁰ → K*⁰μμ\, B⁰s →
  ϕμμ\, and Λ⁰b → Λμμ. The results are derived using pp collisio
 ns collected by the CMS detector in 2022–2024 at a center-of-mass energy
  of 13.6 TeV\, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 172 fb⁻¹. T
 he branching fractions are measured through a simultaneous fit to the six 
 decay modes\, normalized to decays containing the J/ψmeson. The results a
 gree with previous measurements and improve their precision. The isospin a
 symmetries of pseudoscalar B → Kμμand vector B → K*μμdecay modes a
 re also measured as functions of q² with improved precision and are consi
 stent with zero\, as expected in the standard model. Ratios of branching f
 ractions for the corresponding ψ(2S) and J/ψ channels are measured and a
 gree with the world-average values.

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium: How many new particles remain to be discovered?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Department of Physics colloquium entitled “How 
 many new particles remain to be discovered?” with Professor Mikhail Shap
 oshnikov\, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)\nPlease note
  – The lecture will run from 16:00-17:00\, followed by refreshments fro
 m 17:00-18:00 in the Level 8 Common Room of the Blackett Building.\nAbstra
 ct\nNature contains several seemingly unrelated mass scales\, ranging from
  neutrino masses to the Planck scale associated with gravity. At the same 
 time\, the Standard Model of particle physics and Einstein’s general the
 ory of relativity provide a remarkably successful description of almost al
 l phenomena observed in Nature\, with only a few notable exceptions. In th
 is presentation\, Professor Shaposhnikov will discuss whether the existenc
 e of these widely separated scales\, together with the known shortcomings 
 of the Standard Model\, points to a rich spectrum of new particles or to a
 n economical extension of known physics\, and address the question posed i
 n the title.\nBiography\nMikhail Shaposhnikov studied at Moscow State Univ
 ersity and received his PhD from the Institute for Nuclear Research of the
  Russian Academy of Sciences in 1982. After serving as a research scientis
 t at the Institute for Nuclear Research in Moscow (1982–1991) and a staf
 f physicist at the CERN Theory Division (1991–1998)\, he became Full Pro
 fessor of Physics at the University of Lausanne (1998–2003). In 2003\, h
 e moved to EPFL\, where he headed the Laboratory for Particle Physics and 
 Cosmology until becoming Professor Emeritus in 2021. His research focuses 
 on theoretical particle physics and cosmology\, particularly the origin of
  the baryon asymmetry of the Universe\, neutrino physics\, dark matter\, i
 nflation\, gravity and the early Universe.

SUMMARY:QFT-gravity Seminar: Arttu Rajantie
DESCRIPTION:Constraint effective potential and stochastic theory in de Sitt
 er spacetime\nAbstract: The effective potential is a powerful and widely u
 sed tool in quantum field theory. However\, in de Sitter spacetime\, which
  is a good approximation for the inflationary era\, it does not have a uni
 que definition. I will discuss the constraint effective potential introduc
 ed by O’Raifeartaigh et al. in 1986\, as an alternative to the usual tex
 tbook definition. I present the complete one-calculation of both potential
 s in scalar field theory\, showing that the constraint effective potential
  does not suffer from the infrared problem that plagues perturbative calcu
 lations in de Sitter for light scalar fields. I further demonstrate that w
 hen the constraint effective potential is used in the stochastic Starobins
 ky-Yokoyama effective theory\, it reproduces correctly the infrared behavi
 our of QFT correlation functions and the vacuum decay rate at one-loop ord
 er.

SUMMARY:Universe Community Colloquium: Neil Cornish – The Gravitational W
 ave Landscape: A Decade of Discovery and a Look Ahead
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Gravitational Wave Landscape: A Decade of Discovery and a
  Look Ahead\n\n\nThe first decade of gravitational wave astronomy has brou
 ght a remarkable series of discoveries. The first detection of a binary bl
 ack hole merger in 2015 was followed just two years later by observations 
 of a binary neutron star merger in both gravitational waves and light. In 
 2023\, pulsar timing arrays announced evidence for a gravitational wave ba
 ckground at nanohertz frequencies. Ongoing improvements to ground-based de
 tectors and the planned launch of the space-based LISA observatory in the 
 2030s promise a wealth of new science. They also present new challenges: e
 xtracting information from increasingly rich data containing many overlapp
 ing signals. I will review some highlights of the first decade and explore
  the discoveries we hope to make in the decades ahead\, along with their i
 mplications for our understanding of gravity\, cosmology\, and astrophysic
 s.

SUMMARY:String theory seminar: Silvia Georgescu
DESCRIPTION:Title: Gravity in a conformal box\nAbstract: We investigate gra
 vitational dynamics in the presence of finite timelike boundaries with con
 formal boundary conditions. We focus on the limit in which the conformal b
 oundary approaches a black hole or cosmological horizon. In this regime\, 
 potentially exponentially growing perturbations are attenuated\, and we fi
 nd a hierarchy of modes localized near the conformal boundary. In particul
 ar\, we uncover sound and shear modes that admit an interpretation in term
 s of a conformal fluid with shear-viscosity-to-entropy-density ratio \\eta
 /s=1/(4\\pi). For the AdS4 black brane\, we track these modes numerically 
 as the boundary is moved from the near-horizon region towards the asymptot
 ic AdS boundary\, and find that they continuously connect to the hydrodyna
 mic sound and shear modes of the fluid/gravity correspondence.

SUMMARY:HEP seminar: Samuel Eriksen (Bristol) – Search for high-energy da
 rk matter interactions with the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment
DESCRIPTION:The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter search experiment\, a dual-phas
 e xenon time projection chamber operating at the Sanford Underground Resea
 rch Facility in Lead\, South Dakota\, USA\, has demonstrated the world’s
  leading sensitivity to searches for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles 
 (WIMPs). LZ’s exceptional sensitivity enables this new search for dark m
 atter interactions that can produce high-energy (O(100) keV) nuclear recoi
 ls\, a region where LZ’s modelled backgrounds produce much less than one
  event in the investigated 2.84 tonne-years exposure. Through a model-agno
 stic non-relativistic effective field theory (NR-EFT) framework\, signals 
 arising from vector\, axial\, and dipole WIMP-nucleon couplings are probed
 . This seminar will describe the experiment and the results from the most 
 recent NR-EFT analysis of nuclear recoils up to 270 keV.

SUMMARY:SPC Seminar – Space – Domenico Trotta (ESA)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Particle acceleration in the Heliosphere\, from its most
  extreme shocks to its quietest times\nSpeaker: Domenico Trotta\nAbstract:
  Energetic particles pervade the heliosphere\, from violent solar eruption
 s to the quietest solar wind\, making it a unique in situ laboratory for p
 rocesses that operate in distant astrophysical accelerators. Yet a fundame
 ntal question remains open: how does particle acceleration start in the fi
 rst place? With this injection problem as a common thread\, I will show ex
 amples that address it by leveraging new missions such as Solar Orbiter\, 
 from the most extreme acceleration events to the quietest background.\nI w
 ill first present Solar Orbiter observations of more than 170 interplaneta
 ry shocks\, stressing key aspects of how shocks energise protons\, from th
 eir overall acceleration efficiency to extreme events that approach regime
 s typical of astrophysical accelerators. I will also present a strong\, qu
 asi-perpendicular shock that accelerated electrons up to 15 MeV\, the high
 est energies ever measured for locally accelerated electrons at a heliosph
 eric shock. Starting from this event and combining observations from sever
 al missions\, I will then show why a complete picture requires bringing to
 gether local acceleration processes and global\, mesoscale effects.\nI wil
 l then turn to quiet times\, when the solar wind still carries a persisten
 t population of suprathermal “superhalo” electrons whose origin remain
 s unresolved\, and discuss how it connects to the processes seen during ac
 tive periods. Finally\, I will outline my research plan at Imperial as a R
 oyal Society University Research Fellow from January 2027: tackling the in
 jection problem by combining a unique set of heliospheric missions with nu
 merical simulations\, with the goal of turning injection from a free param
 eter of acceleration models into a predictable quantity.

SUMMARY:String theory seminar: Xiang Li
DESCRIPTION:Title: Entanglement bootstrap for (edge) conformal field theori
 es\nAbstract: Entanglement bootstrap (EB) aims to uncover the universal da
 ta and structural properties of quantum many-body systems from local entan
 glement properties. In this talk\, I will discuss our past progress on EB 
 for 1+1D conformal field theories\, including anomalous CFTs that can aris
 e only as boundaries of 2+1D topological quantum field theories. Explicitl
 y\, I will discuss a locally checkable condition for 1+1D CFT ground state
 s\, as well as the reconstruction of Virasoro generators directly from the
  wavefunction. This allows us to diagnose if a given state is a CFT ground
  state or not\, and if it is then how to extract CFT data from it.\nAlthou
 gh these results are motivated by continuum field theory\, they are also a
 pplicable to critical lattice systems. This opens the possibility of using
  entanglement bootstrap as a systematic framework for enumerating and pote
 ntially discovering new CFTs

SUMMARY:HEP seminar: Michael Revering (Cambridge) – Extending the LHC rea
 ch to very long lifetimes: the design concept and current status of the AN
 UBIS experiment
DESCRIPTION:Many beyond-the-standard model theories propose the existence o
 f new ‘long-lived’ particles (LLPs) with macroscopic decay lengths tha
 t may be produced in high energy collisions at the LHC. While extensive se
 arches for LLPs have been performed by existing LHC experiments such as AT
 LAS\, CMS\, and LHCb\, their sensitivity to very long-lived models (ct>~10
  m) is constrained by the physical size of the detectors. The proposed ANU
 BIS experiment is designed to significantly extend experimental sensitivit
 y to these very long-lived models by instrumenting the ceiling of the ATLA
 S detector cavern with RPC detectors. In addition to extending the decay v
 olume\, the transverse positioning provides sensitivity to LLP models with
  high-mass mediators\, complementing the sensitivity of existing forward d
 etectors to lower-mass models. In this talk\, the physics case for ANUBIS 
 proposal will be presented alongside its expected backgrounds\, projected 
 physics reach for several benchmark LLP models\, and the latest results fr
 om the proANUBIS demonstrator within the ATLAS cavern.

SUMMARY:QFT-gravity Seminar: Thomas Apostolidis
DESCRIPTION:Toward the CompactHedron: Bounds on Neutron Stars from Microsco
 pic Principles\n\nAbstract: Much is still unknown about neutron stars\, in
 cluding their equation of state\, which describes the matter in their inte
 rior. Next-generation gravitational-wave detectors can help shed light on 
 this question by measuring the so-called Love numbers\, which encode the t
 idal response of a compact object to an external perturbation. In this tal
 k\, I will investigate the implications of causality and positivity for th
 e tidal Love numbers of gravitating objects. I will work within the framew
 ork of point-particle effective field theory\, where the Love numbers corr
 espond to the Wilson coefficients of operators constructed from the curvat
 ure tensor. I will show that requiring the tidal response to be retarded a
 nd to decay at high frequencies\, together with the assumption of passivit
 y\, leads to nontrivial bounds on the Love numbers. I will then outline th
 e computation of dynamical Love numbers through fourth order in the freque
 ncy expansion\, using dimensional regularization\, for a representative se
 t of neutron-star equations of state\, and show that\, in the low-compactn
 ess regime\, the bounds translate into constraints on the fundamental osci
 llation mode of the star. While the focus is primarily on conservative sys
 tems\, I will also discuss how the bounds are modified in the presence of 
 dissipation. These results lay the groundwork for a systematic framework t
 o derive bounds on compact objects from fundamental principles.
