Photon accumulation near a black hole
Speaker:Volker Perlick (Bremen) (joint seminar with the Pauli Institute GPRS Workshop)
Abstract:In the first part of the talk a Schwarzschild black hole is considered. We assume that light sources are distributed on a (big) sphere of radius R that emit, at an instant of time, photons isotropically. We calculate the resulting photon distribution and find that in the long-time limit the density becomes infinitely large near the photon sphere at r=3m. This suggests that every Schwarzschild black hole in nature should be surrounded by a shell of very high photon density which could be detrimental to the health of any observer who comes close to this region. In the second part we discuss how the situation changes if a Kerr black hole is considered. -- The first part is based on the Bachelor Thesis of Dennis Philipp and the second part is ongoing work with Arne Grenzebach.

Hadronic contributions to the muon g-2
Speaker:Richard Williams (University of Graz)
Abstract:A several year old discrepancy at the 2-3 sigma level between precision Standard Model computations of the muon‘s magnetic moment and experimental measurement defies theory. I quickly review the last measurements, the various contributions to the theory estimate that include a mind-boggling 5-loop QED calculation as well as high-order QCD and electroweak corrections, and concentrate especially on the hadronic contributions. I will show how progress in the Dyson-Schwinger formulation of Chromodynamics provides a cross-check, extension and improvement over future lattice and existing quark model and effective Lagrangian estimates, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches.
