Welcome

The Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics was established by the University of Edinburgh to seek answers to fundamental questions about the universe. We do this by creating opportunities for researchers and students from around the world to come together to formulate new theoretical concepts, taking us beyond the limitations of current paradigms.

First Edinburgh-Copenhagen Joint Workshop: Seeding Joint Studies of the First Galaxies with JWST

The recently-launched James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is ushering in a new era in studying the earliest epochs of the Universe. Dubbed the “First Light Machine”, JWST is already revealing unprecedented insights and unexpected mysteries about the first galaxies that lit up the Universe during the so-called Epoch of Reionisation ...

The Fox and the Hedgehog Series - “The breakdown of perturbation theory: physics in strong fields”—Anton ILDERTON

Perturbation theory (expanding interesting quantities in a power series of some small parameter) is a physicist’s go-to tool for solving pretty much anything. It’s enormously useful. Mathematically, there is a huge body of literature on the summation, convergence, and resummation of possibly divergent series. In this talk I ...

Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics Workshop - Heavy Flavours at High pT

The precision level reached by the LHC experiments gives us the unique chance to test the Standard Model (SM) to its limit. To observe any deviation from the SM, a solid and rigorous understanding of QCD processes is paramount. In this context, the least known strongly-interacting objects are the beauty ...

New Frontiers in Landau Analysis

The last few years have seen a renewed interest in the analytic structure of scattering amplitudes. One of the consequences has been a revival of old methods from the S-matrix program of the sixties, which can now be coupled with our deeper understanding of the types of functions that appear ...
