Effective Field Theory BootstrapHenriette ELVANG

Effective field theory offers a way to parameterize unknown high energy physics systematically in a low-energy effective action. In the talk I will describe how the operator couplings in effective field theory can be bounded using basic assumptions about unitarity, analyticity, and high energy behavior of the 2-to-2 scattering amplitude ...

Imaginary Biology: Exploring Long-range Structures in DNA-Based CondensatesOmar A. SALEH

Biological cells have evolved to create elaborate internal partitions, which allow them to control biochemical and genetic processes in space and time. Increasing evidence indicates that some of these partitions are created by the phase separation of large biological molecules, in which complex mixtures of RNA and protein associate to ...

Higgs School on Advances in Computational Active Matter

Active matter has emerged as a field with strong ties to non-equilibrium soft condensed matter and biological physics. Successes of the field include describing the dynamics of motile microbes and flocks of birds, defect self-propulsion in liquid crystals, wound healing and tissue fluidization, modeling of colony growth, and much more ...

Spatial Analysis across scales and domains: yt user/developer workshop

yt is a community-driven Python package for analyzing and visualizing complex spatial data. Since 2007, the yt package has expanded from supporting just a single astrophysical simulation data format to more than three dozen formats across several domains, including astronomy, seismology, nuclear engineering, molecular dynamics, oceanography, and satellite imaging. This ...
