Galaxies in extreme environments
Abstract: Galaxies are a lot like people. If you pay attention to someone’s accent, mannerism, music taste, and cuisine preference — you can infer something about their culture, their heritage, their ancestry. On the same vein, by inspecting a galaxy’s morphology, kinematics and chemical composition — one can infer information about its assembly history, its interaction history. The first part of this talk will focus on extreme galactic collisions, where a small satellite crashes onto the baryonic body of a massive neighbor and survives.
Search for New Physics with Electron Dipole Moments
A major goal of modern particle physics is to search for phenomena that are in conflict with our best theoretical understanding of nature, the Standard Model (SM). One approach in the search occurs at the laboratory scale where the SM’s most precise predictions are tested by the most precise measurements of fundamental particles. Deviations at this high-precision frontier would inform the search for Beyond the SM (BSM) physics.
