I will proceed by summarizing detection techniques and prospects with future interferometers. The bulk of my seminar focuses on describing some of my recent work (e.g., 2203.00566, 2112.06903) that show the ability of GWs to constrain fundamental/high-energy physics. The last part of my seminar will be devoted to conclusions and future perspectives for the research field. | 5 , HEP Journal Club (12:30 PM - 1:30 PM) Daniel Kapec, Soft Particles and the Geometry of the Space of Celestial CFTs (2:00 PM - 3:00 PM) + Abstract: | 6 , Equity & Inclusion Committee (12:30 PM - 2:00 PM) | 7 Massimiliano Riva, Gravitational Scattering in the Worldline Effective Field Theory Approach (2:00 PM - 3:15 PM) + Abstract: Zare (3:30 PM - 5:30 PM) |
