The development of higher spin gravities as extensions of Einstein's theory of gravity by infinite towers of massless higher spin fields governed by the gauge principle, has triggered a novel formulation of relativistic quantum field theories in terms of infinite towers of differential form fields making up topological sigma models (TFT) in which the standard […]

Nuclear pasta is a phase of matter that appears organized in some ordered structures when a large number of Baryons is confined in a finite volume, such as in the crust of neutron stars. The relevant low-energy limit of QCD, whose strong non-linear inter- actions inhibit exact solutions, is then usually analyzed numerically within the […]

This workshop of the University UBB at Chillan aims to gather experts working in the fields of cosmology and elementary particle physics.

Jaime Ortéga (Universidad de Chile): Resumen: En esta charla conversaremos sobre el programa satelital Europeo Copernicus y como las ima ́genes satelitales nos ayudan cada d ́ıa en nuestro diario vivir, discutiremos los diferentes tipos de satelites de este programa y diferentes usos principalmente en aplicaciones asociadas al cambio clim ́atico y la observaci ́on […]

Bruno Scheihing (MIT/CTP (Boston, USA): “Quarkonium transport in weakly and strongly coupled plasmas”. Abstract: Suppression of open heavy flavors and quarkonia in heavy-ion collisions is among the most informative probes of the quark-gluon plasma. Interpreting the full wealth of data obtained from the collision events requires a precise understanding of the evolution of heavy quarks […]
