Modern synoptic sky surveys are typically designed to detect supernovae-like transients, using a tiling strategy to identify objects that evolve on day-to-month timescales. Astrophysical phenomena with sub-hour durations, ranging from galactic stellar flares to optical flashes accompanying gamma-ray bursts, have … Read more
Extreme Photonics with Nanogap Cavities: From Ultrafast Single Photon Sources to Biosensors Maiken H. Mikkelsen Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Duke University, USA Abstract: Nano- and quantum materials with unique optical properties hold the potential for … Read more
The Quantitative Finance Association is having an interest meeting next Tuesday, April 18 at 6:00 p.m., in Phillips 277. Come for free pizza, a a chance to connect with your peers, and to learn more about our new association. ALL … Read more
Altering the Pre-recombination Expansion History with Hidden Sector Decays Many cosmological models introduce a new energy density contribution to the universe before the epoch of recombination in an attempt to alter the expansion history and address the Hubble tension: a 5σ discrepancy … Read more
Julian Munoz, Harvard University Cosmic Dawn: The next frontier in cosmology The last decades have firmly established the existence of a dark sector of our universe. Yet, details of its content have evaded all laboratory probes. In this talk I … Read more
Constraining Dark Matter Candidates in Early Matter Dominated Era Cosmologies An early matter dominated era (EMDE) before the onset of the radiation dominated era (RDE) is a prediction of many early Universe theories. Subhorizon dark matter (DM) density perturbations grow … Read more

Title: Conformal Yangian and Tree Amplitudes in Scalar and Gauge Field Theories Abstract: Scattering amplitudes are intimately related to both experimental and theoretical ongoing efforts of testing the Standard Model of particle physics and our understanding of quantum field … Read more
Red Stars, Green Planets: Evaluating the Habitability of Planets via M-Dwarf Superflares Even though thousands of exoplanets are known, unambiguous evidence of habitable worlds remains elusive. M-dwarfs are the majority of stars in our Galaxy and the majority … Read more
