Hi guys, so Lorenzo Calibbi from Nankai University will visit us in the week from the 2 to the 6 of October. Lorenzo is an expert on flavour physics and dark matter. I will organize a seminar of him for Tuesday 3 October (in the usual JC time slot). Ah, by the way, I will soon send an email to restart our JC in October, after Lorenzo's visit.

In light of recent experimental progress, the EDMs connected to electron spin (paramagnetic EDMs) are calculated. The limit on QCD theta angle is 2 * 10^(-8) and somewhat subdominant to neutron EDM, but can be improved. The Kobayashi-Maskawa phase contributes to paramagnetic EDMs at the level of 10^{-35} e cm in units of equivalent electron EDM, which is much larger than what was previously estimated. > ———————————————— > > Seminars and Journal Clubs agenda: http://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/PAI/month.php <http://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/PAI/month.php> > > ================ > ULB PhysTH Seminar by Maxim Pospelov (U. of Minnesota), 'Standard Model and EDMs', Room 2.N7.110 [BEL-center:pheno] > Dates : 1 sept. 2023, 11:00-12:00, UTC+2 > ================ > > > You're receiving this message because you're a member of the GRP_ULB_Sem_Add group from Université Libre de Bruxelles.

The school is aimed to provide a pedagogical introduction to lattice field theory techniques and their use to simulate the classical dynamics of interacting fields in an expanding background. The lectures will serve as an introduction to COSMOLATTICE, a public code developed for lattice simulations of early Universe scenarios. The use of CosmoLattice as a tool to simulate scalar and gauge field non-linear dynamics in an expanding universe will be presented in full detail. Modern applications to inflation, preheating, gravitational wave production, non-minimally coupled scalar field dynamics, axion-like field dynamics, and possibly others, will also be covered. The school is aimed to anyone who would like to learn (or simply improve their knowledge on) how to simulate in a lattice the dynamics of early Universe field theory scenarios. > > Registration will be open till Sept. 5th 2023, see > > https://indico.ific.uv.es/event/7055/ <https://indico.ific.uv.es/event/7055/> > > Observations: The school will be held ONLINE, during 25-29 Sept 2023.
