  1. 1. Synergic cosmology across the spectrum
    Prof. Stefano Camera (Torino U.)
    12/12/2025, 11:00
  2. 2. Quantum Scattering Amplitudes for Gravitational Waves

  3. 3. Effective Field Theory for Thermal Phase transitions
    Mikael Chala (Universidad de Granada)
    30/01/2026, 11:00

    I will present recent progress in applying effective field theory (EFT) to the precise computation of thermal phase transition parameters and the associated gravitational wave spectra. I will also briefly comment on byproducts of this work, including new methods for two-loop renormalization in EFT that avoid gauge-breaking counterterms and infrared rearrangement.

  4. 7. Introduction to LISA, its data analysis challenges, and modelling of extreme mass ratio inspirals

  5. 8. The LISA mission and its distributed data processing center

  6. 9. Listening to the millihertz universe: LISA data analysis and the challenge of extreme mass ratio inspirals
    Lorenzo Speri (ESA)
    30/01/2026, 16:00

    The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will open a new window onto the gravitational wave Universe by observing millihertz signals from massive black hole mergers, compact galactic binaries, and extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs). Extracting these signals from a data stream shaped by instrumental noise and astrophysical confusion requires advanced data analysis strategies. In this...

  7. 4. Baryogenesis from electroweak textures
    Dr Simone Blasi (DESY)
    27/02/2026, 10:00

    The matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe represents one of the main open questions in particle physics and cosmology. In this talk, we will present a novel realization of cold baryogenesis (a mechanism involving the formation and decay of topological defects associated with the gauge group of the Standard Model known as SU(2) textures) that relies on the out-of-equilibrium dynamics...

  8. 12. Quantum Observables and Their Sensitivity to Fundamental Interactions at Polarized Lepton Colliders
    Priyanka Lamba
    27/02/2026, 11:30

    High-energy colliders probe fundamental interactions through direct searches and precision measurements. Yet conventional observables, such as total cross sections and asymmetries do not fully exploit the intrinsically quantum nature of multi-particle final states. A density matrix based description of scattering processes provides access to genuinely quantum observables, offering...

  9. 11. Geometric resonances for high-frequency gravitational-wave detection
    Jan Heisig
    27/02/2026, 14:00

    Gravitational waves at kilohertz and higher frequencies provide a unique window onto the early Universe at energy scales far beyond those accessible through the cosmic microwave background, potentially probing physics well above the electroweak scale. Yet existing detector concepts fall many orders of magnitude short of the big-bang nucleosynthesis bound on a stochastic gravitational-wave...

  10. 10. Bridging the microhertz gap in the gravitational-wave landscape
    Alex Jenkins
    27/02/2026, 15:20

    Over the past decade, LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA have given us abundant evidence for gravitational waves emitted by binary systems. But binaries can also absorb gravitational waves, leaving potentially detectable imprints on their orbits. In this talk, I will describe how this effect can be used to search for gravitational waves at frequencies that are inaccessible to all other current and future...

  11. 5. Neutrino mass bounds from cosmology: How strong? How robust?
    Julien Lesgourgues (RWTH Aachen university)
    27/03/2026, 10:00

    Neutrinos of cosmological origin are the second most numerous particles in the universe since billions of years. They are very difficult to measure directly, but we have several indirect (although very clear) indications of their presence. The strongest upper bounds on neutrino masses come from cosmological observations. I will discuss their model-dependence and robustness, given the existence...

  12. 14. Shockwaves and Time Delays in Einstein-Maxwell Effective Field Theory
    Christophe Grojean (DESY (Hamburg) and Humboldt University (Berlin))
    27/03/2026, 11:30

    We derive the shockwave metric in four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell effective field theory (EFT) by performing an ultra-relativistic boost of the charged black hole solution accompanied by a rescaling of its mass and charge, including leading order EFT corrections. In contrast to the neutral (Schwarzschild) case, where higher derivative operators leave the shockwave geometry unchanged, we show...

  14. 20. New physics in the strong field regime
    Katy Clough (Queen Mary University London)
    27/03/2026, 14:45

    Our recent numerical work has shown the importance of including non-linear effects that modify the gravitational sector in the strong field regime in beyond GR theories and dark matter environments. Advances in mathematically well posed formulations, numerics and data analysis mean that we can now extend our studies and stress-test current diagnostic and modelling tools with fully consistent...

  15. 21. Numerical-relativity, fundamental bosonic fields, and compact objects
    Nico Sanchis-Gual (University of Valencia)
    27/03/2026, 16:00

    Bosonic stars are hypothetical compact objects composed of ultralight bosonic fields and have been proposed as viable dark matter candidates. In this talk, I will present recent advances in our understanding of their stability properties and nonlinear dynamics based on numerical-relativity simulations. In particular, I will discuss gravitational synchronization effects that can arise when...
