SEMINAR: Standard Model vacuum stability with a 125 GeV Higgs
December 5 2014, 2:30pm - Seminar room
Speaker: Stefano Di Vita (MPI Munich)
Abstract : The observation at the LHC of a scalar particle compatible with the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson could represent the ultimate success of the SM description of particle interactions.
SEMINAR: Understanding the Large Scale Structure of the Universe through Symmetries
November 28 2014, 2:30pm - Seminar room
Speaker: Toni Riotto (Geneva U)
Abstract : Getting inspiration from what is usually done in high energy physics, we will discuss what kind of knowledge we may get on the large scale structure of the universe from the symmetries of the dark matter dynamics.
SEMINAR: Atomic dark matter
November 25 2014, 12:00pm - Seminar room
Speaker: Kalliopi Petraki (NIKHEF Amsterdam)
Abstract : Observations of the galactic and subgalactic structure of our universe can be explained better if dark matter possesses sizeable self-interactions, rather than if it is collisionless.
SEMINAR: A Higgs or the Higgs ? A detailed look at the anomalous Higgs couplings
November 21 2014, 2:30pm - Seminar room
Speaker: Shankha Banerjee (HRI Allahabad India)
Abstract : Recent results from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has proved the existence of the long-awaited Higgs boson in the Standard Model (SM).
CERN makes public first data of LHC experiments
See press release at http://home.web.cern.ch/about/updates/2014/11/cern-makes-public-first-data-lhc-experiments.
Geneva 20 November 2014. CERN launched today its Open Data Portal where data from real collision events, produced by the LHC experiments will for the first time be made openly available to all. It is expected that these data will be of high value for the research community, and also be used for education purposes.
COLLOQUIUM: TH status after ICHEP2014: Searching for New Physics at the next LHC run
November 24 2014 - Seminar room
Speaker:Toni Pich (IFIC & U Valencia)
Abstract: The LHC data has brought a new perspective on our understanding of particle physics.
COLLOQUIUM: That's the story": Prof. Roy Glauber remembers the making of the atomic bomb
December 15 2014 - Seminar room
Speaker: José Ignacio Latorre (Universitat de Barcelona), Maria Teresa Soto-Sanfiel (UAB)
Abstract: Nobel laureate Prof. Roy J. Glauber is the last alive scientist from the Theory Division of the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos.
SEMINAR: Models with small cosmological constant at finite temperature
November 11 2014, 2:30pm - Seminar room
Speaker: Bithika Jain (Syracuse U)
Abstract : In 5D holographic realizations of spontaneously broken approximate conformal invariance, a naturally light dilaton can be obtained via the introduction of the small dependence of the 5D scalar potential on the field itself.
SEMINAR: Massive gravity from spontaneous symmetry breaking
November 14 2014, 2:30pm - Seminar room
Speaker: Diego Blas (CERN)
Abstract : In this talk I'll present the first proposal to give mass to the gravitons from a spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism. In contrast to massive gauge bosons, both the broken and unbroken phases are not Lorentz invariant.
