If the supernova is not powered by the core but rather, e.g., by collapse-induced thermonuclear explosion, then a prolonged period of accretion-do… text/html 2019-09-12T11:42:21+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://particlevm.physics.ucdavis.edu/seminars/doku.php?id=2019:mar:zhang&rev=1568313741&do=diff Zhenkang Zhang Reshaping effective field theory analyses: new challenges at the LHC and new tools for one-loop matching Mar. 18, 2019 The lack of new physics discoveries has not only motivated increasing use of effective field theory (EFT) techniques to connect beyond Standard Model ideas and experiment, but also pushed us to think harder about how to interpret data and perform calculations within the EFT framework. As a result, progress has been made in at least two aspects: limitations and … text/html 2019-09-16T11:35:23+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://particlevm.physics.ucdavis.edu/seminars/doku.php?id=2019:mar:zhao&rev=1568658923&do=diff Yue Zhao Searching for Dark Photon Dark Matter with Gravitational Wave Detectors Mar. 11, 2019 If dark matter stems from the background of a very light gauge boson, this gauge boson could exert forces on test masses in gravitational wave detectors, resulting in displacements with a characteristic frequency set by the gauge boson mass. We outline a novel search strategy for such dark matter, assuming the dark photon is the gauge boson of U(1)_B or U(1)_{B-L}. We show that both ground-based and…
