Abstract: In this talk, I’ll survey some
of the major open questions in particle physics and make the case
that they can best be addressed by a qualitatively new type of
particle accelerator: a high-energy muon collider. Recent
progress on long...
Merging binary neutron stars are an important class of sources
for advanced gravitational wave (GW) detectors such as LIGO and
VIRGO, as well as for searches for transient astronomical events.
In this talk, I will discuss two aspects of the GW...
Understanding the physics of galaxy formation is an outstanding
problem in modern astrophysics. Recent cosmological simulations
have demonstrated that feedback by star formation, supernovae and
active galactic nuclei appears to be critical in...
