While the flat space two-body problem is integrable, the generally-relativistic one is not starting at the next-to-leading order.
In the appropriate classical limit, scattering amplitude-based techniques can yield the classical interaction of massive bodies to all orders in their velocities and to fixed order in…

We describe the coupling of holomorphic Chern-Simons theory at large N with Kodaira-Spencer gravity. This gives a complete description of open-closed string field theory in the topological B-model. We explain an anomaly cancellation mechanism at all loops in perturbation theory in this model. At one loop this anomaly cancellation is analogous…
We construct a general form for an F-theory Weierstrass model over any base giving a 6D or 4D supergravity theory with gauge group SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) / Z_6 and associated generic matter. The concept of 'generic matter' can be rigorously defined in 6D supergravity and generalizes naturally to four dimensions for F…
We present a first-principles derivation of a weak-strong duality between the four-dimensional fishnet theory in the planar limit and a discretized string-like model living in AdS5. At strong coupling, the dual description becomes classical and we demonstrate explicitly the classical integrability of the model. We…
I shall present a series of frontier experiments searching for X rays coming from exotic atoms produced at the DAFNE collider of LNF-INFN (Italy) and from processes violating Quantum Mechanics’ predictions at the Italian Gran Sasso underground laboratory.
In the first part of the talk I shall introduce the studies of kaonic atoms in the…
In the Standard Model the Higgs boson is a very narrow resonance and therefore measuring its width is challenging. How can we constrain the Higgs boson total width at the LHC? Presently, the best limits on the Higgs boson total width at the LHC are set using the off-shell Higgs production and decay to ZZ in the four-lepton or two-lepton-two…
Technical presentation of the planned hardware upgrades for the CMS backend Calorimeter Trigger during Phase-2 that are being developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The current state of electronics will be presented and several of the key technical decisions during design specification will be discussed.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a general purpose high energy particle detector which was installed on the International Space Station (ISS) on May 19, 2011 to conduct a unique long term mission of fundamental physics research in space. To date, AMS has collected more than 130 billion charged cosmic rays with energies up to multi TeV…
Abstract: "With the discovery of the Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS experiments in 2012, the fundamental question “Does the Higgs boson exist?” was replaced by “Is it really the Higgs boson of the standard model?”. In 2017, the observation of Higgs boson decays to tau leptons with a rate compatible with that expected in the standard model…
Abstract
The B factory experiment Belle at the KEKB collider at KEK (Tsukuba, Japan) was built to experimentally investigate CP violation in the B system. Belle and BaBar ultimately confirmed large mixing induced CP violation, leading to the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics for Kobayashi and Maskawa.
The upgrade of the accelerator and…
