The seminar of the Theory Section takes place Fridays in E3-128 and on zoom, starting normally at 12.15. If you would like to suggest a seminar speaker or want to be added to the email list, please contact the organizer (Michael.Kachelriess@ntnu.no).
A list of seminars in the previous and the current years can be accessed in the sidebar; the (planned) seminars in 2021 are
- 22.01., Marco Stein Muzio (New York University): Closing in on the sources of UHECRs: A multimessenger approach
Abstract: Today ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), with energies in excess of an EeV (or 10^18 eV), provide us with a glimpse both into the most extreme astrophysical environments in the universe and into fundamental interactions beyond LHC energies. However, the source of these particles has long remained a mystery. In this talk, I will focus on progress made in characterizing the sources of UHECRs by combining a phenomenological model of these sources with multimessenger measurements. Recent elaborations of our model have allowed us to make more concrete statements about the types of environments required to explain UHECR data, and possibly astrophysical neutrino data. I will present these constraints and their implications for astrophysical sources. - 19.02., Alessandro Mirizzi (INFN, U Bari):
