Abstract:  The DarkSide collaboration aims for a dark matter direct detection using Argon-based dual-phase Time
Projection Chambers (TPCs), capable of observing both the scintillation and the ionization signals of
recoiling nuclei. The DarkSide “zero-background” strategy exploits the pulse shape discrimination
intrinsic of…

Abstract:

Lithographed superconducting detectors have found many applications in millimeter and submillimeter astronomy including observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). A major goal of modern cosmology is to make precise measurements of the polarized fluctuations in the CMB with science goals such as a measurement of…

Light reception to be held afterwards in the Ballantine Lounge.

In the first part of the talk, I’ll explore whether EE’s of subalgebras not organized by position space in a holographic CFT may be useful for bulk reconstruction. In particular I'll explain how the lengths of non-minimal geodesics in AdS3 conical defect backgrounds can be interpreted as the EE's of certain subalgebras in the dual CFT. This…

I will discuss kinematic space--the space of pairs of points in a CFT. Basic objects living in kinematic space are OPE blocks--contributions to the OPE from a single conformal family. In holographic theories, OPE blocks are dual at leading order in 1/N to integrals of effective bulk fields along geodesics or homogeneous minimal surfaces in AdS…

Art and science mesh together in this free, live-radio event featuring Princeton Laptop Orchestra. Scientific American opinion editor Mike Lemonick and Princeton neuroscientist Sabine Kastner will take the stage…

I will review the lightcone bootstrap and explain how it can be used to describe analytically some new numerical results for the 3dIsing CFT.
