内容摘要：Nuclei and hadrons are “laboratories” for exploring nature’s fundamental interactions. In this talk, I discuss the theoretical challenges and advances in the interpretation of experimental tests of fundamental symmetries performed with these strongly interacting systems. This theoretical work has enabled us to exploit such tests to achieve a deeper understanding of the dynamics of Quantum Chromodynamics in the non-perturbative regime and to gain a powerful new tool in the hunt for possible physics beyond the Standard Model.

报告人简介：Michael Ramsey-Musolf is a T.D. Lee Chair Professor at the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute/Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Professor of Physics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1989. His thesis was awarded the American Physical Society (APS) Dissertation Award in Nuclear Physics. He subsequently completed a post-doc at M.I.T. before assuming faculty appointments at several institutions. His theoretical research lies at the interface of particle physics, nuclear physics, and cosmology, with contributions to studies of electroweak baryogenesis, electroweak phase transition, extended Higgs sectors, finite-temperature non-equilibrium quantum field theory, electroweak radiative corrections, tests of fundamental symmetries, neutrino properties, and hadron structure. An APS Fellow, he received the APS 2023 Herman Feshbach Prize in Theoretical Nuclear Physics. To date, he has mentored 70+ Ph.D. students and post-docs, many of whom have gone onto long term careers in basic research.
