Latest Episodes:

A Status Report on the Observability of Cosmic Bubble Collisions Apr 01, 2011

Show notes

Anthony Aguirre gives a talk at the Bubbles in the Sky workshop.

N-subjettiness Mar 23, 2011

Show notes

Jesse Thaler describes a new jet shape, N-subjettiness, designed to tag boosted hadronically-decaying objects and reject the background of QCD jets with large invariant mass.

Bounds on 4D Conformal and Superconformal Field Theories Mar 21, 2011

Show notes

David Poland derives general bounds on operator dimensions, central charges, and OPE coefficients in 4D conformal and N=1 superconformal field theories.

Discovering Gauge Mediation with Leptons/Photons at the Tevatron or LHC Mar 18, 2011

Show notes

Josh Ruderman talks about Tevatron limits and LHC discovery potential for a wide class of GMSB scenarios in which the next-to-lightest superpartner (NLSP) is a promptly-decaying neutralino.

Predictions from a Tevatron Anomaly Mar 07, 2011

Show notes

Jared Kaplan examines the implications of the recent CDF measurement of the top-quark forward-backward asymmetry, focusing on a scenario with a new color octet vector boson at 1-3 TeV.

Effective Conformal Theory and the Flat-Space Limit of AdS Mar 04, 2011

Show notes

Liam Fitzpatrick develops the idea of an effective conformal theory describing the low-lying spectrum of the dilatation operator in a CFT.

Discrete R Symmetries and Low Energy Supersymmetry Feb 28, 2011

Show notes

Mike Dine talks about generalizing gaugino condensation and constructing large classes of models which are classically scale invariant and which spontaneously break discrete R symmetries (but not supersymmetry).

SuperTopcolor Feb 14, 2011

Show notes

Ryuichiro Kitano considers a supersymmetric QCD with soft supersymmetry breaking terms as the dynamics for the electroweak symmetry breaking.

A Smoking Gun for Supersymmetry Feb 07, 2011

Show notes

Howie Haber discusses that by examining the monojet signature at a high luminosity LHC, we can estimate the precision with which supersymmetric coupling relations can be experimentally established.

A Duality for the S-Matrix, or, What is Quantum Field Theory? Feb 02, 2011

Show notes

Nima Arkani-Hamed presents a new approach to quantum field theory that relies on dualities to avoid Feynman graphs.
