In the standard lore the decay of the false vacuum of a single-field potential is described by a semi-classical Euclidean bounce configuration that can be found using overshoot/undershoot algorithms, and whose action suppresses exponentially the decay rate. While this is generically correct, the … Read More

Extracting reliable physical information from collider data requires a combination of mathematical, computational and statistical tools to model observed distributions, often with the help of powerful simulations. But when simulations cannot be fully trusted, data-driven approaches become indispensable. In this … Read More

In this lecture, I will touch upon the development of methods and examples of the use of simulations in studying basic phenomena such as hydration of biomolecules, ligand binding, mechanisms related to biological function. We will also focus on the … Read More

The precise determination of parton distribution functions (PDFs) is essential for accurate predictions of observables at hadron colliders. In this seminar, we will explore two complementary aspects of the future of PDF studies. The first concerns the potential of upcoming … Read More

The most recent searches by the LHC collaborations in final states with soft leptons and missing transverse energy show mild excesses which can result from decays of electroweakinos featuring a compressed spectrum. We demonstrate that while recent searches in the … Read More

We develop a first-principles formalism, based on the transport equation in the line-of-sight approximation, to link the expected number of muons at neutrino telescopes to the flux of neutrinos at the Earth's surface. We compute the distribution of muons inside … Read More
