Speaker: David Maibach (Heidelberg)-Title: “Cosmic Strings and where to find them”
November 17, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Date: Friday, November 17, 2023
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Location: Sessler Conference Room–50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person]
Speaker: David Maibach (Heidelberg)
Title: “Cosmic Strings and where to find them”
Abstract: “A large class of particle physics models beyond the Standard Model admit topologically stable string configurations, so-called Cosmic Strings. If Nature is described by such a theory, a network of strings will form during a symmetry-breaking phase transition in the early universe and leave traceable features in various probes. The search for these signatures provides an interesting interplay between particle physics and cosmology that can constrain particle physics from the high energy end downwards. In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to the intricate world of Cosmic Strings and explore potential probes of string signatures within the regime of electromagnetic and gravitational radiation.”
