Fermilab Colloquium: Daniel Carney, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
- When:
- Wednesday, October 2, 2024 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
- Where:
- 1 West, Wilson Hall, Fermilab, Rd a-1, Batavia, IL 60510
- Speaker:
- Daniel Carney, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
- Title:
- Terrestrial tests of quantum gravity
- Description:
-
I will give an overview of recent activity based on the idea that we can test quantum properties of the gravitational field in experiments. I will emphasize the need to state precisely what hypotheses are being tested, discuss some explicit models of low-energy gravity that violate the usual rules of effective quantum field theory, and discuss some of the basic experimental challenges to getting these tests done.
