Coherent-spin amplitudes and Classical Observables The quantum field-theoretic approach to classical observables due to Kosower, Maybee and O’Connell provides a rigorous pathway from on-shell scattering amplitudes to classical perturbation theory. In this talk, I will describe how we promote this formalism to general classical spinning objects by using coherent spin states. Our approach is fully
New Predictions for Processes with >= 2 Jets at the LHC The vast amount of data taken by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) means it has become a precision experiment in very many channels. This is good news for sensitive tests of the Standard Model, but presents theory with a big challenge. Many effects which
Title: Weapons of statistical instruction Speaker: Rhys Christopher Jones We are living in an increasingly data-centric world, where it is essential for everyone to have a statistical awareness and build upon their statistical senses. The need for statistics has never been greater. With rapidly changing times, and a world saturated with data and interesting variables,
Schwinger pair production of magnetic monopoles Electromagnetic duality implies that strong magnetic fields will produce magnetic monopoles by the dual Schwinger effect, if indeed magnetic monopoles exist. As a consequence, strong magnetic fields provide perhaps the best avenue to search for magnetic monopoles: the existence of any given strong magnetic field provides a lower bound
Resurgence and Extreme Field QFT I propose a new approach to multi-loop QFT computations in strong background fields, based on an application of resurgent asymptotics to the extraction of strong-field and non-perturbative information from a limited number of terms of a weak-field expansion. The proposed method is demonstrated explicitly with the one-loop and two-loop expressions
My career path to clinical trial senior statistician My name is Milensu and I completed an undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Statistics at Plymouth University in 2009 followed by a Master’s degree in Medical Statistics at Southampton University. Following this, I worked as a statistician in cancer clinical trials. I am now a PhD candidate
