    Brent Nelson
    06/06/2011, 10:00
    This talk will discuss the connection between string phenomenology, model building and LHC measurements. Topics will be strictly limited to those in which predictions for actual LHC observables are made. We will survey in a brief fashion direct string production at the LHC, anomalous vector boson couplings, new exotic states, quasi-stable supersymmetric particles and MSSM models with...

  22. 274. The LARGE Volume Scenario
    Joseph Conlon
    06/06/2011, 13:30
    I give an overview of the LARGE volume scenario. The focus is on more recent developments involving supersymmetry breaking, sequestering and the structure of soft terms. I describe the current status of the scenario and the main open problems within it.

  27. 277. One-loop Adjoint Masses for Non-Supersymmetric Intersecting Branes
    Pascal Anastasopoulos (Vienna)
    07/06/2011, 15:00
    I am planning to give a solid introduction on 1-loop adjoint masses in intersecting D-brane worlds. I will mainly focus on models with broken supersymmetry in intersecting D-brane configurations by slight deviation of the angles from their supersymmetric values. This was discussed in our recent paper 1105.0591 [hep-th] with Antoniadis, Benakli, Goodsell, Vichi. In the open string...

  31. 275. Goldstino Couplings to Matter
    Emilian Dudas
    08/06/2011, 13:15
    We discuss the low-energy effective action of a light goldstino coupled to SM fields by using a manifestly supersymmetric formalism, in which the goldstino and the matter fields are represented as constrained superfields. We discuss the UV sensitivity of the constraints and work out non-universal goldstino couplings to matter. The latter are important when the heavy superpartner masses...

  45. 297. RR Photons
    Pablo Camara (CERN)
    14/06/2011, 13:30
    Type II string compactifications to 4d generically contain massless Ramond-Ramond U(1) gauge symmetries. I will discuss in detail different avenues by which U(1)_RR bosons may mix with D-brane U(1)'s. The focus will be mostly on Type IIA orientifolds and their M-theory lift, although phenomenological consequences in the context of hypercharge gauge coupling unification in F-theory SU(5)...

  48. 269. Search for TeV Scale R-Parity Conserving Supersymmetry with ATLAS
    Christophe Clément
    15/06/2011, 13:30
    The ATLAS experiment at LHC has already collected many hundreds of inverse picobarns of proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV. Supersymmetry (SUSY) production at LHC is dominated by gluino and squark production. In the scenario of R-parity conservation, the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is stable and can constitute a plausible dark matter candidate. Strong SUSY production...

  52. 300. Yukawas in F-theory
    Fernando Marchesano (Madrid, IFT)
    16/06/2011, 13:30
    I will review the results of the papers 0910.5496 and 1104.2609, that deal with the computation of Yukawa couplings in local GUT F-theory models and with how non-perturbative effects can solve the 'rank-one' problem of these models.

    Henry Tye (IAS Hong Kong)
    17/06/2011, 13:30
    I shall review tunneling in scalar quantum field theory and propose an experimental test of the idea of resonant tunneling.

  61. 320. A Natural Universe Made by a Composite Higgs, Dark Matter and Inflaton
    Francesco Sannino (CP3-Origins)
    21/06/2011, 11:00
    The bulk of the visible component of the universe is constituted by protons and neutrons which are composite particles. It is therefore natural to ask if the missing ingredients such as the Higgs, dark matter particles and inflation can also be composite. We will present the state-of-the-art of this ambitious program.

  64. 298. De Sitter Solutions at Tree-Level
    Paul Koerber (KU Leuven)
    22/06/2011, 13:30
    De Sitter solutions play an important role in cosmology and the construction of realistic vacua. They seem however notoriously difficult to construct in string theory or supergravity. I'll talk about the search for de Sitter solutions in classical supergravity and discuss a relatively simple example in more detail. I'll review the advantages and drawbacks of this approach.

    We will take bus 43 at 16.14 to Räntmästartrappan in Old Town (Gamla Stan), and from there the boat Fjäderholmslinjen leaving at 17.00. It costs 110 SEK -- cash only. It is a round trip ticket so remember to keep the ticket! The boat ride takes 25 minutes. The restaurant is Fjäderholmarnas Krog and on the menu is (naturally) fish, with a vegetarian option. We can take the boat back...

  67. 313. Non-perturbative Effects in Type IIB and F-Theory
    Mirjam Cvetic (Pennsylvania)
    23/06/2011, 13:30
    We address issues of systematic studies of non-perturbative effects in string theory due to string instantons by focusing on Type IIB and F-theory. We point out that the computability of such effects results in systems of diophantine equations, thus reducing to Hilbert's 10th problem. We also address instanton zero modes and non-perturbative superpotential calculations directly in...
