PERIMETER INSTITUTE RECORDED SEMINAR ARCHIVE
 | UV Sensitivity of Dark Matter Speaker(s): Scott Watson
Abstract: In this talk I will present evidence that accounting for the presence of hierarchies in string compactifications naturally leads to a UV sensitivity of dark matter in contrast to what is usually assumed. In particular, we will see that the existence of cosmological moduli may lead to a non-... read more

NEC Violation and String Inspired Alternatives to Inflation Speaker(s): Scott Watson
Abstract: Inflationary cosmology provides a causal mechanism for the generation of super-Hubble cosmological fluctuations. There have been many alternative proposals suggested to accomplish this feat, however these all seem to share the need to violate at least the Null Energy Condition. I will attempt to mak... read more

CDM / LHC: How Robust is the Connection? Speaker(s): Scott Watson
Abstract: One of the most compelling hints for physics beyond the standard model is the cosmological observation that nearly a quarter of our universe consists of cold dark matter. In the next few years, LHC shows the promise of producing these elusive particles and possibly measuring their microscopic proper... read more
