Lepton Flavor Universality tests with semileptonic b-hadron decays

Por Antonio Romero Vidal (USC).

Lepton flavour universality is a key feature in the Standard Model. Currently, several measurements in b-hadron decays show some tension with respect to theoretical predictions. In this talk, I will summarize the experimental situation with special emphasis in measurements performed by LHCb with semileptonic b-hadron decays.

The shadow of a Black Hole (2019) and the problematc measurement of light defecton by the sun in 1919

Por Rui Agostinho (FCUL).

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has published in 2019 the first ever image of an Event Horizon, from the very massive central black hole in the M87 galaxy. The team has chosen to publicize it 100 years after the first measurement of light deflection by a strong gravitacional field, which was a landmark for the Theory of Relativity in 1919. This new image did not require a technological revolution and neither did the images taken in 1919, however they all imprint the History of Physics.

Some new perspectives on moments of random matrices

Por Fabio Deelan Cunden (University College Dublin).

Abstract: The study of ‘moments’ of random matrices (expectations of traces of powers of the matrix) is a rich and interesting subject, mainly due to its connections to enumerative geometry. I will give some background on this and then describe some recent work which offers some new perspectives (and new results).

This talk is based on joint works with Antoine Dahlqvist, Francesco Mezzadri, Neil O’Connell and Nick Simm.
