Hello, please join us over Zoom for a special seminar talk on Wed, March 2nd hosted by Assistant Professor candidate Julio Parra Martinez
Date & Time – Wednesday March 2 12:00-1:00pm
Seminar Topic: Black Hole Collider Physics
Abstract: From the flying cannonball of Newton to the free-falling elevator of Einstein, drawing connections between different dynamics has been essential in developing our understanding of gravitational physics. In this talk, I will describe how considering the scattering of black holes and gravitons can shed light on the dynamics of compact binary mergers observed at LIGO/VIRGO, and more generally on the two-body problem in General Relativity. I will explain how using modern ideas from collider and particle physics, such as quantum field theory, scattering amplitudes, and surprising relations between gluons and gravitons, we can calculate and constrain the outcome of such scattering experiments in classical gravity. From such calculations we can produce state-of-art results for current and future gravitational wave observatories, and open the door for further discovery as we enter a new era of precision gravitational physics.
