Description

This year's "QCD Meets Gravity" will be hosted by the Leung Center for Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics (LeCosPA) and the Center for Theorical Physics (CTP) at National Taiwan University (NTU). This is the tenth in an annual series of meetings for researchers interested in Yang-Mills theory, in gravity, and in the connections between them. It is the first time the conference will be held in Asia.

In addition to the conference, LeCosPA will be hosting a workshop on "Cosmological Correlators" from Dec 2 to 6, 2024.

      Nonrelativistic Conformal Field Theory and Nuclear Reactions 45m

      Conformal symmetry plays an important role in quantum field theory and statistical mechanics. A nonrelativistic version of the conformal symmetry, also called Schrödinger symmetry, is approximately realized in various physical systems, including neutrons in nuclear physics and ultracold atoms. Nonrelativistic conformal field theories realize Schrödinger symmetry and possess many interesting properties. After reviewing some facts about nonrelativistic conformal field theory, we describe how it can be applied to the physics of nuclear reactions with several neutrons in the final state.

      Colloquium: QCD Meets Gravity in Taipei 1h

      The annual QCD Meets Gravity conference is being held the week of December 9-13, 2024 at the National Taiwan University.  In this colloquium, I will explain some of the basic ideas being discussed at this conference, highlighting the theory of quantum scattering amplitudes. I will explain the application of these ideas to various topics including elementary-particle collider physics, the relation of gravity with the other forces, and basic questions on gravity and related theories.  I will also explain recent developments showing that the quantum nature of gravity is a very useful as a starting point for obtaining state-of-the-art precision predictions for interacting black holes and other compact astrophysical objects.
