Description

PosterThe Annual Theory Christmas Meeting will again be held in Durham, 13-15th December, hosted and organised by the Centre for Particle Theory, UKLFT, FPUK and the IPPP. Following tradition, we use the format of three days of talks from world-class speakers reviewing the latest developments in the key areas of our subject. 

Organisation Committee:
Francesca Chadha-Day (IPPP)
Inaki Garcia Etxebarria (Durham)
Simon Hands (Liverpool)
Neil Lambert (KCL)
Arthur Lipstein (Durham)
Simon Ross (Durham)
Michael Spannowsky (IPPP)
Jessica Turner (IPPP)

 

All sessions of the 55th edition of the Annual Theory Meeting can be attended remotely via zoom using this link:

      • a) Partons at the LHC

        The analysis of inclusive processes at the LHC, both in the Standard Model and beyond, relies on precise and accurate information on the distribution of the partons in the proton. In turn, LHC data are increasingly being used as input to the determination of the parton distributions themselves. We will describe how machine learning may be used to eliminate model dependence in these determinations, making them more accurate and precise, and thus enhancing the discovery potential of the LHC.

      • a) $\mathrm{Sp}(N_c)$ gauge theories for Beyond the Standard Model physics

        Gauge theories based on $\mathrm{Sp}(N_c)$ groups are interesting for their role in potentially
        UV complete composite Higgs models in which it is possible to implement fermion
        partial compositeness. Moreover, this family of groups provides an alternative
        to $\mathrm{SU}(N_c)$ to explore the large-$N_c$ regime of gauge theories. In this talk,
        we will review the results obtained on the lattice for these gauge theories,
        with a special focus on the models relevant for BSM studies.

      • a) A challenge to the standard cosmological model

        In the ΛCDM cosmological model the Universe is assumed to be isotropic & homogeneous when averaged on large scales. That the CMB has a dipole anisotropy is interpreted as due to our peculiar motion because of local inhomogeneity. There should then be a similar dipole in the sky distribution of high redshift sources. Using catalogues of radio sources and quasars we find that this expectation is rejected at >5σ, i.e. the distribution of distant matter is not isotropic in the 'CMB frame’. This calls into question the standard practice of boosting to this frame to analyse cosmological data, in particular to infer an isotropic acceleration of the Hubble expansion rate from supernovae, which is then interpreted as due to Λ.
