Physics Colloquium with Mark Hertzberg on New Physics Beyond the Standard Model and Cosmology

Mark Hertzberg (Hosted by Daylan) from Tufts University will be presenting the colloquium with "New Physics Beyond the Standard Model and Cosmology"

In this talk, I will survey some of the most compelling motivations for physics beyond the standard model, emphasizing ideas from effective field theory and constraints from fundamental principles. This includes modified spacetime symmetries, neutrino masses, early universe inflation, dark matter and axions.
