A brief review of the physics of systems including higher derivatives in the Lagrangian is given. All such systems involve ghosts, i.e. the spectrum of the Hamiltonian is not bounded from below and the vacuum ground state is absent. Usually this leads to collapse and loss of unitarity. In certain special cases, this does not happen, however: ghosts are benign.
We speculate that the Theory of...
Results of investigations into the possibility of stable tetraquarks using both HQET and Lattice QCD calculations are presented. The existence of some stable tetraquarks containing heavy quarks is found. For such tetraquarks, the opportunities for observation at the LHC is explored. In particular, if a $b b \bar b \bar b$ tetraquark exists below $\eta_b \eta_b$ threshold, it would be narrow...
The interpretation of any experiment probing the dark matter distribution inside the Solar System is subject to our ignorance of the local dark matter density and velocity distribution, as well as our ignorance of the nature and strength of the dark matter-nucleon interaction. In this talk we present new ideas to interpret the outcome of direct detection experiments without making assumptions...
The LHC is actively searching for dijet resonances corresponding to physics beyond the standard model.
If a new heavy resonance is discovered, it will be important to understand how best to characterize its properties.
Alternatively, if no new resonance is discovered, it is important to understand what limits are implied across different
classes of models. In this talk I discuss different...
QCD is the first theory to demand that science fully resolve the conflicts generated by joining relativity and quantum mechanics. In attempting to match QCD with Nature, it is necessary to confront the innumerable complexities of strong, nonlinear dynamics in relativistic quantum field theory, e.g. the loss of particle number conservation, the frame and scale dependence of the explanations...

ANDES (Agua Negra Deep Experiment Site) is an underground laboratory proposed to be built inside the Agua Negra road tunnel that will connect Chile (Coquimbo Region) with Argentina (San Juan Province) under the Andes Mountains. The Lab will have 1750 meters of rock overburden, becoming the 3rd deepest underground lab in the world, and the first in South America. ANDES is envisioned as an...
