Online and In-Person Event
Energy Operators in Particle Physics, QFT, and Gravity
Ian Moult,
Yale University,
Detector operators, of which the average null energy operator provides the most famous example, arise as direct theoretical models of asymptotic measurements in collider experiments. In QFT, detector operators are expressed in terms of "light-ray operators", whose correlation functions provide an interesting class of non-perturbatively well-defined observables. It has recently become possible to directly measure the <JEEJ> four point function using archival e+e- data, providing access to the correlator in all kinematic regions. I will give an overview of this, and its connections to ongoing studies of the correlator in different theories.
The talk is in 469 Lauritsen.
