SUMMARY:Physics and Astronomy Colloquium – Dr. Aaron Vincent
LOCATION:Online
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Physics and Astronomy invites you to a colloquium featuring Dr. Aaron Vincent, Department of Physics, Engineering Physics & Astronomy, Queen’s University. Dr. Vincent will present his talk, “Very small black holes at very large experiments”, via Zoom.\n\nMeet the speaker at 3:10 pm - join us in welcoming the speaker and for an informal chat!\n\nhttps://wsu.zoom.us/j/91067075085?pwd=RUZtZnhEVTUrcFoxM0tOL01iODRtZz09\n\nMeeting ID: 910 6707 5085\n\nPasscode: PhysAstro\n\nABSTRACT: Why is gravity so much weaker than the other fundamental forces? Theories of large extra dimensions (LEDs) propose a possible answer, and lead to an intriguing prediction: that high-energy collisions like those at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can produce microscopic black holes. This requires ever-higher energies, and going beyond the LHC’s 14 TeV reach will take decades. Rather than wait, we can let nature do the work for us: the next generation of neutrino telescopes such as IceCube Gen-2 and P-ONE will see neutrinos with EeV (10^18 electronvolt) energies. I will describe how these cubic-km-scale neutrino observatories work, and how they can detect black holes smaller than a nucleus. Finally, I will discuss a possible connection between these black holes and the elusive cosmological dark matter.\n\nphysics.wsu.edu/colloquium
