| The IKKT model and its relation to D=10 super-Yang-Mills and stringtheorie |
| Speaker: | Timon Salar Gutleb (University of Vienna) |
| Abstract: | Im Rahmen des Seminars für Mathematische Physik: The intention of this talk is to give an introduction to the IKKT matrix model and its connection to SYM gauge theories as well as String Theory. Our main focus will be deriving the IKKT action from the Nambu–Goto action for the string, thus highlighting the relationship between the IKKT matrix model and String Theory. This derivation
will contain and explain various canonical methods like Polyakov’s trick.

| Particle detectors for hadron physics and applications |
| Speaker: | Prof. Kai Brinkmann (Justus-Liebig Universität Giessen) |
| Abstract: | Modern experiments in particle and nuclear physics often rely on detection equipment that is custom designed for optimum performance within a given physics scope. Designed components include everything from detector materials to readout electronics. While many components are commercially available, careful assessment of the physics is required to identify hardware parts where R&D efforts potentially pay off most in the overall detector performance with respect to the key physics features of an experiment. Examples for a number of detector setups will be presented where R&D efforts are ongoing or have been applied to upgrades of existing detector arrays in order to meet modern standards for readout, radiation hardness etc... This involves both charged particle tracking as well as electromagnetic calorimetry, e.g. ... [full abstract: https://indico.smi.oeaw.ac.at/event/174/] |

| Speaker: | Arkadij Bojko (Uni Wien) |
| Abstract: | Im Rahmen des Literaturseminars: The Lagrange densities for metrics give Euler-Lagrange expressions which transform as tensor densities and are symmetric and divergence-free. This, together with requiring the tensor density to depend on only up to the second derivative of the metric, allowed Lovelock to find a general dimension-dependent form of such tensorial quantities. I will go through the derivation of his results in this matter. At the end I will also show that for any such divergence-free, symmetric tensor density there exists an associated L-degenerate Lagrange density. |

| Introduction to Collider Physics and Effective Theory Methods |
| Speaker: | Prof. Iain Stewart (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) |
| Abstract: | zur 1. Vorlesung im Rahmen der Schrödinger-Gastprofessur 2016:
In these lectures I introduce the key conceptual ingredients needed to understand and make predictions for processes like Higgs production at the Large Hadron Collider. This includes
the concepts of factorization, running couplings, parton distributions, and jets.
I will also discuss how the tools of effective field theory can be used to simplify calculations
for colliders, by exploiting universal features of soft and collinear radiation.
