16. Memory-triggered supernova neutrino detection

Mainak Mukhopadhyay (Arizona State University)

5/27/22, 10:50 AM

When a burst of neutrinos from a core-collapse supernova (CCSN) passes by the Earth, it causes a permanent change in the local space-time metric, called the gravitational wave (GW) memory. Long considered unobservable, this effect will be detectable in the near future, at deci-Hertz GW interferometers. I will present a novel idea, where observations of the neutrino GW memory from CCSNe will...

26. New Strategies and Targets for Probing of Velocity-Dependent Dark Matter Annihilation

Jason Kumar

5/27/22, 11:13 AM

We consider the well-motivated scenario of dark matter annihilation with a velocity-dependent cross section. At higher speeds, dark matter annihilation may be either enhanced or suppressed, which affects the relative importance of targets like galactic subhalos, the Galactic Center, or extragalactic halos. We consider a variety of new strategies for determining the associated J-factors, and...

54. UV/IR Mixing, EFTs, and Origami: Calculating the Higgs Mass in String Theory

Keith R. Dienes

5/27/22, 11:36 AM

In this talk, we shall present a non-technical method of understanding UV/IR mixing from a field-theoretic perspective. We will then discuss how these ideas are ultimately realized in string theory, providing a self-contained introduction to relevant string ideas as we proceed. Finally, we shall present a fully string-theoretic framework for calculating one-loop Higgs masses directly from...
