Positivity Constraints on Lorentz-breaking EFTs (Paolo Criminelli, ICTP) @ Aula 500 e online
Gen 1 1970@1:00 am–Feb 7 2106@7:28 am

Seminario di Fisica Teorica-

The coefficients of the operators of an effective field theory (EFT) are constrained to satisfy certain inequalities, under the (mild) assumption that the UV completion satisfies general requirements of causality and unitarity. We begin the extension of these ideas to theories where the Lorentz symmetry is spontaneously broken, as it happens in cosmology and condensed matter physics. Constraints are derived using dispersive arguments for the 2-point function of conserved currents and of the stress-energy tensor.

Gli esperimenti WA82 e WA92: un’eredità di silicio @ online
Giu 9@11:00 am–12:00 pm

Seminario Colloquium (D.Barberis, G.Darbo, C.Gemme, L.Rossi – INFN Sezione di Genova)

La sezione di Genova dell’INFN ha un ruolo leader in Italia, oramai da due decenni, nello sviluppo, nella realizzazione e nell’utilizzo dei rivelatori a Pixel di silicio. Questa attivita’ ha le sue radici negli esperimenti WA82 e WA92 fatti al SPS del CERN nel periodo 1985-1995. Il seminario descrive questi esperimenti, le tecniche utilizzate e i risultati raggiunti e si sofferma infine sui motivi che hanno consentito a Genova di diventare un laboratorio di riferimento per i rivelatori a pixel.

TOTEM and D0: the observation of the Odderon @ on-line
Giu 16@11:00 am–12:00 pm

Colloquium – Dr. Fabrizio Ferro (INFN Sezione di Genova)

The Odderon, first theorized in 1973, represents the C-odd counterpart of the Pomeron, the dominant Regge trajectory in the soft high energy diffractive interactions. The Odderon emerges not only in the Regge framework, but also in QCD theory where it can be modelled as an exchange of a colourless C-odd gluonic compound. States comprising two, three or more gluons are usually called “glueballs”, and their observation represents a key test of the QCD. The TOTEM experiment at LHC has performed total and differentialelastic p-p cross-section measurements at different LHC energies.
Since 2018 a first hint of the presence of the Odderon was found in TOTEM results. Now the discovery has been confirmed after a comparison with the p-bar-p data measured by the D0 collaboration at Fermilab. The comparison of the two experiment results led to the first experimental observation of the exchange of the Odderon with a significance of 5.4σ.

Quantum simulations and computations for Lattice Gauge Theories @ on-line
Giu 23@11:00 am–12:00 pm

Seminario di Fisica Teorica – Dr.ssa Elisa Ercolessi (Università di Bologna)

Quantum technologies offer a platform for analogue simulations and digital quantum computations of Lattice Gauge Theories within a Hamiltonian approach.
We will discuss the theoretical framework necessary to approximate the continuous theory, giving some examples of both abelian and non-abelian discrete models.
We will discuss how this approach allows also for the study of non-perturbative effects and real-time dynamics.

Conformal Colliders Meet the LHC @ on-line
Ott 6@2:00 pm–3:00 pm

Seminario DIFI/INFN di Fenomenologia delle Particelle Elementari – Prof. Ian Moult (Yale University)

Collimated sprays of hadrons, called jets, are an emergent phenomenon of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at high energies. Understanding the detailed energy flow, or substructure, of jets has come to play a central role at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where it has enabled new ways to search for physics beyond the Standard Model, as well as new insights into the strong interactions.

In this talk I will present recent developments in improving our theoretical understanding of jet substructure using insights from conformal field theory. I will show that jet substructure can be formulated as the study of matrix elements of particular lightray operators enabling the use of powerful techniques such as the operator product expansion (OPE), and providing an alternative approach to thinking about jet substructure more closely related to scaling phenomena. I will then show that the remarkable data quality of the LHC allows the scaling behavior predicted by the OPE to be directly measured in data, illustrating an interesting interplay between recent developments in CFT and LHC phenomenology.

Black-Hole Scattering, Eikonal Exponentiation and Gravitational Waves @ Aula 603 e online
Ott 14@11:00 am–12:00 pm

Seminario di Fisica Teorica INFN/DIFI – Carlo Heissenberg (Nordita, Stockholm, Sweden)
The eikonal exponentiation of gravity amplitudes is a non-perturbative re- summation whereby certain high-energy divergent terms, which would naively violate unitarity bounds, combine into a harmless phase factor. Eikonal tech- niques also offer a natural strategy to calculate classical gravitational observables directly from the loop-expansion of scattering amplitudes. In this talk, I will discuss how the eikonal can be applied to obtain the deflection angle for the collision of two non-spinning black holes with generic center-of-mass energies, up to order O(G3). This calculation captures both conservative and dissipa- tive radiation-reaction effects, and yields a deflection angle with a smooth behavior at high energies, where it agrees with the universal massless result. Besides explicit two-loop calculations, I will also illustrate a shortcut to access radiation-reaction effects based on analyticity, unitarity and crossing symmetry. Finally, I will sketch how the classical limit of inelastic five-point amplitudes fits in the eikonal exponentiation of elastic four-point amplitudes and provides the leading-order waveforms for the emission of gravitational waves.
