Massive Black Hole Spin Workshop

Astrophysical black holes can be entirely described by just two properties: their mass and their spin. While masses of black holes have been extensively studied, black hole spin remains poorly understood. This is because spin is both much more difficult to observe and more complex to model. Nevertheless, spin is ...

Standard Model parameters and observables from gradient flow

Gradient flow is a diffusion-like smearing transformation that smoothly suppresses short-distance ultraviolet fluctuations, thus introducing a simple non-perturbative method to renormalise strongly-coupled theories such as Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). It has become an invaluable tool in lattice simulations of both QCD and theories beyond the Standard Model, providing a method for ...
