 Wed 6 May 202613:30 - 15:00 |  [Colloquium] Gravitational Waves: An Interface Across Scales and Disciplines - Gianluca Inguglia - RESCHEDULED TO A DIFFERENT DATECentre for Theoretical Physics and Astronomy Since the first experimental detection of gravitational waves in 2015, observations in this field have profoundly transformed our understanding of the Universe, leading to discoveries that were once only anticipated and are now being realised. In this presentation, I will offer a personal (and admittedly biased) overview of gravitational wave science, emphasising how this field naturally operates at the interface of multiple disciplines, ranging from astrophysics and cosmology to particle... |
| Wed 6 May 2026 13:30 - 15:00 |  Seminar: Prof Jeff Hartnell - LiquidO opaque scintillator detectors and the physics opportunities  Centre for Experimental Physics and Quantum Technology Radiation detectors enable many aspects of our modern lives, from the light sensors in our smartphone cameras to PET scanners that inform treatment of cancer. Particle physicists have often led the development and exploitation of cutting edge radiation detectors to identify particles while measuring their energies, positions and directions. Many radiation detectors use scintillators, which traditionally have nearly always been transparent to allow detection of the light. Our new counter... |
| Wed 13 May 2026 14:00 - 15:00 | Seminar: Dr Ilham El Atmani - Neutrino–nucleus interactions and systematic uncertainties in next-generation oscillation experiments Centre for Experimental Physics and Quantum Technology The next generation of long baseline experiments, DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande, aim to measure CP violation and mass ordering with high precision. However, the sensitivity of these experiments is currently limited by systematic uncertainties related to interactions between neutrinos and nuclei. In this talk, we will examine the impact of nuclear effects, in particular multi-nucleon correlations (2p2h) and final-state Interactions (FSI), on energy reconstruction and parameter extraction. We will... |

| Mon 29 Jun - Fri 3 Jul 2026 |  Conference: Amplitudes 2026Centre for Theoretical Physics and Astronomy The Centre for Theoretical Physics and Astronomy at the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences is delighted to announce that Queen Mary University of London will host Amplitudes 2026, the international conference on scattering amplitudes, from 29 June to 3 July 2026. Amplitudes is an annual international conference series focused on scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory, string theory, and related areas of high-energy theoretical physics. The series has become since its inception in... |
