On December 8th, TUM-IAS Fellow Alumnus Prof. Andrzej J. Buras, former Professor of Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics at TUM, will talk at our TUM-IAS Wednesday Coffee Talk.

Title: Searching for New Elementary Particles and Forces with Quantum Fluctuations

After the completion of the Standard Model (SM) through the Higgs discovery in 2012 particle physicists are waiting for the discovery of new particles either directly with the help of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN or indirectly through quantum fluctuations causing certain rare processes with the change of quark flavour to occur at different rates (probabilities) than predicted by the SM. While the latter route is very challenging, requiring very precise theory and experiment, it allows a much higher resolution of short distance scales than it is possible with the help of the LHC. In fact in the coming flavour precision era, in which the accuracy of the measurements of rare processes and of the relevant theory calculations will be significantly increased, there is a good chance that we may get an insight into the scales as short as 10^{-21} m (Zeptouniverse) or even shorter distance scales. The main strategies for reaching this goal and the present status of this search will be explained and summarized in simple terms. Indeed there are some hints for new forces and new particles at such short distance scales. Prof. Buras made an effort so that non-physicists and non-scientists can follow this talk.

Date: December 8, 2021

Time: 13:00 (until approx.14:00)

Location: online
