Cosmological Implications of LARGE Volume String Compactifications
Speaker(s): Fernando Quevedo

Unitary Representations of the Conformal Group for pedestrians
Speaker(s): Benjamin Grinstein
Abstract: We comment on several points concerning unparticles which have been overlooked in the literature. One regards Mack's unitarity constraint lower bounds on CFT operator dimensions,e.g,. d>= 3 for primary, gauge invariant, vector unparticle operators. We correct the results in the literature to account... read more

Phenomenology of Massive Neutrinos

Results from the MiniBooNE Experiment
Abstract: We present the results from the MiniBooNE neutrino oscillations search in which no significant excess of events is observed above background in the energy range from 475 MeV to 3000 MeV. For lower energies an excess of events that is not consistent with a two neutrino oscillation model is observed. ... read more

Negative Curvature
Speaker(s): Leonard Susskind
Abstract: I will discuss the possibilities for a post-standard-cosmological-model phenomenology based on the assumption that our universe was born in a tunneling event from an earlier 'Ancestor' vacuum

Big Bang Nucleosynthesis: Concordance of Theory and Observations

Direct Dark Matter Searches
Speaker(s): Uwe Oberlack
Abstract: Astrophysical evidence indicates that the universe consists to about 25% of non-baryonic, cold Dark Matter, compared to merely ~4% of 'regular' matter, composed of quarks and electrons. The existence of Dark Matter and Dark Energy is striking evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model, and under... read more

Conformal Collider Physics
Speaker(s): Diego Hofman
Abstract: We study observables in a conformal field theory which are very closely related to the ones used to describe hadronic events at colliders. We focus on the correlation functions of the energies deposited on calorimeters placed at a large distance from the collision. We consider initial states produc... read more

Low energy QCD and ChPT tests at the NA48/2 experiment
Speaker(s): Simone Bifani
Abstract: In the last years, the NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS has recorded an unprecedented sample of charged kaon decays. From this, we report very precise measurements of fundamental parameters of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) and the study of low energy pi-pi scattering. Several rare and very rar... read more

dS Minimum without anti-D3 branes and Large Volume Axionic Swiss-Cheese Inflation
Speaker(s): Aalok Misra
Abstract: We first discuss the possibility of getting a non-supersymmetric dS minimum with the inclusion of perturbative and non-perturbative alpha' corrections and instanton contributions in the large volume limit of certain Swiss Cheese Calabi Yau orientifold type IIB compactifications. We then discuss axio... read more
