Abstract:

The LEP colliders, operating at CERN during the 90s, provided extensive precision data on the strong nuclear interactions and the weak force. Recently, thanks to heroic experimental efforts, the LEP data has been made available for modern analyses, allowing the application of new theoretical and computing techniques to this data. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the ways that this data is being used. In particular, I will discuss how it has enabled precision measurements of energy correlator observables, providing new insights into strong and electroweak physics.

Speaker Bio:

Professor Moult obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of British Columbia in 2011, and his Ph.D in theoretical particle physics from MIT in 2016. He was then a Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Berkeley/LBL (2016–2019) and SLAC/Stanford (2019–2021) before joining the Yale Physics Department in 2021.
