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 Quantum Aspects of Black Holes Group Meeting

Dirichlet Walls and the End of Time
Gary Horowitz
11:00am|Bloomberg Hall Physics Library

Abstract:  We study evolution in Einstein-Hilbert gravity with Dirichlet boundary conditions imposed on a finite surface. We argue that there are open sets of initial data where such evolutions terminate at finite times due to singularities that...

IAS Phenomenology Lunch and Meet

Information Discussions on Phenomenology and New Theories beyond the Standard Model
12:30pm|Bloomberg Hall Biology Conference Room (1st Floor, Room 113)

This semester, we will be beginning a *very informal* get-together every Monday of people interested in/working on phenomenology and new theories beyond the standard model.  The idea is to discuss over lunch, perhaps meet up around 12.20, grab lunch...

Princeton University High Energy Theory Seminar

Heavy Quark Dynamics at Nonzero Temperature
Bruno Scheihing-Hitschfeld
2:30pm|Jadwin Hall, 4th Floor, PCTS

Abstract: Heavy quarks propagating through quark-gluon plasma provide a unique, experimentally accessible opportunity to study the real-time dynamics of QCD in its strongly coupled regime. In the infinite heavy quark mass limit, the momentum change...

Princeton University High Energy Theory Seminar

Frontiers of CFT Data
Johan Henriksson
2:30pm|Jadwin Hall, 4th Floor, PCTS

Abstract: Conformal field theories are defined by the CFT data: the spectrum of primary operator dimensions and OPE coefficients. Over the last decade, our knowledge of CFT data has accelerated at many frontiers. This has been facilitated by the...
