| Title: | Solitons and Spin Chains in Gauge/String Dualities | |
| Abstract: | The Anti-de Sitter space/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence offers a unique possibility for the nonperturbative investigation of gauge theories, through their conjectured equivalence to string theories. In the past years, there has been tremendous progress in the computation of the anomalous dimensions of local gauge theory operators, or equivalently energies of string states, thanks to the integrable structures that emerge in the 't Hooft limit. In this talk, we will review the main manifestations of integrability in AdS/CFT, namely spin chains on the gauge theory and solitons on the string theory side. We will focus on the case where the gauge theory is a 4-dimensional maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, and present results on certain solitonic solutions of the corresponding string theory, known as "giant magnons". | |

| Title: | The Higgs Search in the H->WW Decay Mode at LHC | |
| Abstract: | 2011 has been the year when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) became the world's leading experimental facility in the area of the fundamental particle interactions. The amount of data available for analysis is increasing exponentially. The search for the Higgs boson is entering its final phase and it is very likely that we will know for sure if it exists within a year or two. Results from the summer conference season look intriguing. The Atlas and CMS experiments exclude a wide range of possible Higgs masses, finding an excess at low mass, the favored mass region for the standard model Higgs. I will present results of the Higgs search at CMS in the WW leptonic final state, the most sensitive channel in the search for the Higgs. | |
