| Wed 22 Apr 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... |
| Wed 22 Apr 2026 14:00 - 15:30 |  Centre colloquium: Ruth Gregory (King's College London)  Centre for Theoretical Physics and Astronomy Title: Black Hole Spectroscopy from a Giant Quantum Vortex Abstract: Black-hole spectroscopy aims to infer physical properties of black holes by detecting the spectrum of quasi-normal modes (QNMs) they emit while settling towards equilibrium. Gravitational analogs aim to explore aspects of black hole systems by building laboratory experiments that share features of the black hole and its perturbations. A particularly interesting aspect of QNMs is the phenomenon of spectral instability: the... |

| Thu 23 Apr 2026 14:00 - 15:00 | Seminar: Mehregan Doroudiani (Southampton U.) Centre for Theoretical Physics and Astronomy Title: Scattering amplitude of massless closed strings at genus one Abstract: Perturbative calculations of string amplitudes are twofold: an expansion in the string coupling (the genus expansion of the worldsheet) and a low-energy expansion in the momenta. In this talk, I will focus on the low-energy expansion of closed string amplitudes at genus one, specifically for four- and five-point massless states of type IIB superstrings in flat spacetime. Evaluating these amplitudes involves... |

| Wed 6 May 2026 13:30 - 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... |
