On Monday, May 19, 2025, at 12:00 c.t., the next meeting of our physics colloquium will take place.
Prof. Dr. Laura Fabbietti, Professor of Dense and Strange Hadronic Matter at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), will give a lecture on "Strong Interaction Among Hadrons and Connections to Astrophysics".
Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have been proven useful to study interactions among hadrons, even considering rare species, and such studies can be linked to indirect searches of dark matter and investigation of neutron star properties. In this talk, I will discuss how the measurement of antinuclei and the modeling of their creation mechanism can be employed as a reference for ongoing indirect dark matter searches and how the study of the hyperon-nucleon interactions can deliver important information on the equation of state of neutron stars. The data discussed in this talk have been measured by the ALICE collaboration at CERN and the analyses and phenomenological models employed to interpret the data have been developed at TUM.
Abstract of the lecture by Prof. Fabbietti.
Prof. Dr. Silvana Botti will give an introduction to the lecture.
The faculty cordially invites all interested parties. The event will take place in lecture hall NB 3/99.
