Sofie Martins: Computing cross-sections from the lattice — A recent shift in lattice thinking paradigms?
A/1-106 - Seminarska soba fizike (F5)Extracting scattering amplitudes — and consequently cross-sections — from non-perturbative lattice techniques has seen significant advances in recent years. People have so far relied on Luescher's method, which relates Euclidean finite-volume effects of lattice correlators to infinite-volume Minkowskian Scattering Amplitudes. … Read More
Leah Rank, “Hollow microgels: From single particle characterisation to bulk behaviour”
A/1-106 - Seminarska soba fizike (F5) (Jamova)Hollow microgels are elastic polymer shells easily realisable in experiments. Recent works have shown the emergence of buckling events in dilute hollow microgels under the effect of an added osmotic pressure. Here, we perform large-scale simulations to show that these … Read More
Urban Bren, “Biomolecular Simulations as a Useful Tool in a Fight against Cancer”
Seminar room of physics (106) (IJS)The lecture focuses on food safety in the context of chemical carcinogens, which are often present in raw or thermally processed foods and, after initial activation, alkylate DNA, usually guanine at position N7. Recently, important biochemical phenomena have been discovered, … Read More
Aleks Smolkovič – Fast and differentiable EFT likelihoods
F1 tea roomThe Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) has proven to be a valuable framework for studying a broad class of models beyond the SM containing heavy degrees of freedom. The phenomenology of SMEFT can be developed systematically, incorporating essential effects … Read More

Fabian Esser: Higher-dimensional SMEFT operators and UV models for neutrinoless double beta decay
A/1-106 - Seminarska soba fizike (F5)The observation of lepton number violation (LNV) would be clear evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model, and non-zero neutrino masses particularly motivate a study of processes that violate lepton number by two units, like e.g. neutrinoless double beta decay. … Read More
Ana Crnković, “Engineering protein nanopores with genetically encoded noncanonical amino acids”
Seminar room of physics (106) (IJS)Genetic code expansion enables site-specific incorporation of noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins, facilitating the introduction of spectroscopic probes, fluorescent labels, photoreactive groups, enhanced stability, and novel chemical reactivity. Despite the successful incorporation of over 150 ncAAs, the broader application … Read More
Jure Dobnikar, “DNA packing in viral capsids”
Seminar room of physics (106) (IJS)Assembly of viral capsids containing genetic material, is a key process in viral reproduction cycle. The bacteriophages and double stranded DNA viruses assemble their capsids prior to genome packaging and actively push DNA inside by ATP-driven packaging motors. The genome … Read More
