Because of the sheer distance at which Quasars are found, the methods employed to measure the mass of their central black hole are very indirect. One such method is reverberation mapping, which achieves this by analyzing the spectrum of these...[Read More]
Semester Talks
Dark Matter Models
Cosmology
By Soorya NarayanThis will be an introductory level talk about the various dark matter models physicists use to explain astrophysical observations. The change in the microphysics of dark matter particles can lead to very different cosmological observations. The talk will mostly be...[Read More]
Supersymmetric CFT in 3D
Particle Physics
By Shivang YadavI will explain what is CFT, what is supersymmetry?. Why do we want to use supersymmetry in CFT? Is there actually any supersymmetry in this universe? Even if it's not, how can this help in our understanding of CFT or...[Read More]
HIKE - CERN's New Kaon CP Violation Experiment
Experimental High Energy Physics
By Harrsh GoyalCP violation was first discovered in Kaons which shattered the 'mirror' of physics once again, and since then Kaons have become synonymous with the concept of CP violation. To measure the same, a new experiment has been proposed at CERN...[Read More]
CMS Collisions Exposed
Experimental High Energy Physics
By Soumya SarkarCompact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is one of the four detectors at the Large Hadron Collider(LHC) at CERN, where protons are collided at record COM energies of 13.6 TeV. At CMS, we try to find answers to some of the questions...[Read More]
