ICTP

seminar - Strings and Higher Dimensional Theories

(Lorenzo Di PIETRO and Flavio PORRI) - Gauge Mediation and Holography

Room: Leonardo da Vinci Building Euler Lecture Hall

Abstract: This is a series of two JC's devoted to holographic implementation of (General) Gauge Mediation set up. We will briefly review the basics of Gauge Mediation models and present, as an instance of holographic realization, the work by Benini et al. (arxiv:0903.0619). Then we will introduce the framework of General Gauge Mediation (arxiv:0801.3278) and outline the computation of GGM two-point functions in a 5D background by means of holographic renormalization.

seminar - Cosmology

(Pavlos PROTOPAPAS) - Interdisciplinary Science in Astronomy: A review

Room: Leonardo da Vinci Building Euler Lecture Hall

Are we ready to let machines do the work so we can now concentrate on the science questions? Have we reached the point where statistical and machine learning methods have become useful tools rather than a nuisance and the practice of the few?
I will present four examples where significant progress has been made and the interdisciplinary practices have brought fruitful results. These include, automatic classification, Bayesian parameter inferences, event detection and anomaly detection, and design of surveys and follow ups.

seminar - Phenomenology of Particle Physics

(Alessandro CUOCO) - Dissecting the Diffuse Gamma-ray Background using anisotropies

Room: Leonardo da Vinci Building Euler Lecture Hall

Abstract: The diffuse gamma-ray background is expected to exhibit small scale anisotropies which can carry information on the underlying sources contributing to it. Astrophysical sources as well as more exotic processes like galactic or extragalactic DM annihilation are expected to leave their imprint in the pattern of the gamma-ray anisotropies. I will present the results of an angular power spectrum analysis of the high-latitude diffuse emission measured by the Fermi-LAT, and discuss the implications of the measured angular power spectrum for gamma-ray source populations that may provide a contribution to the diffuse background.
