On higher-spin gauge theories
Speaker:Stefan Fredenhagen (Golm & Berlin)
Abstract:Joint Theory Physics Seminar: I first give an introduction to higher-spin gauge theories. I will discuss the free theory, and the difficulties that arise when one tries to introduce interactions and how they can be overcome. Finally I discuss asymptotic symmetries of higher-spin theories on AdS_3 and their role in the higher-spin AdS/CFT correspondence.

Location:Währinger Straße 17, Kavalierstrakt, 1. Stock, Victor-Franz-Hess-Hörsaal
Contact:P.T. Chrusciel, A. Hoang

25 years of R&D on inorganic scintillator and their applications in the crystal clear collaboration
Speaker:Dr. Etiennette Auffray (CERN)
Abstract:The Crystal Clear Collaboration (CCC) has been created in 1991 in the frame of the DRDC program at CERN. Its initial goal was to identify the most suitable inorganic scintillators as candidates for an electromagnetic calorimeter at the future Large Hadron Collider. The R&D carried out led to the choice of PbWO4 as material for the electromagnetic calorimeter of the CMS detector. Moreover, for 25 years the Crystal Clear Collaboration has also carried out intense R&D on inorganic scintillating materials for novel ionizing radiation detectors for use in high-energy physics, medical imaging and industrial applications. Such R&D covers generic activities such as the understanding of the scintillation mechanism, to the conceptual design, test, implementation and integration of large detector systems. The main results achieved by the CCC and the current domains of activities will be presented.

Probing non equilibrium quantum fields with cold atoms
Speaker:Jörg Schmiedmayer (TU Wien)
Abstract:Joint Theory Physics Seminar: Ultra cold quantum gases are an ideal system to probe many body physics and quantum fields. In this talk I will give an overview of the different possibilities and what we were able to learn about many body systems and their underlying quantum description.
