The Effects of Limited Resources and Opportunities on Women’s Careers in Physics: Results from the Global Survey of Physicists

PIRSA:13030082

The results of the Global Survey of Physicists draw attention to the need to focus on factors other than representation when discussing the situation of women in physics. Previous studies of women in physics have mostly focused on the lack of women in the field. This study goes beyond the obvious shortage of women and shows that there are much deeper issues. For the first time, a multinational study was conducted with 15000 respondents from 130 countries, showing that problems for women in physics transcend national borders. Across all countries, women have fewer resources and opportunities and are more affected by cultural expectations concerning child care. We show that limited resources and opportunities hurt career progress, and because women have fewer opportunities and resources, their careers progress more slowly. We also show the disproportionate effects of children on women physicists' careers. Cultural expectations about home and family are difficult to change. However, for women to have successful outcomes and advance in physics, they must have equal access to resources and opportunities. An article based on these findings can be found at: http://www.physicstoday.org/resource/1/phtoad/v65/i2/p47_s1

Creating Great Scientific Workplaces for Men and Women: From Practice to Theory and Back Again

Carla Fehr University of Waterloo

PIRSA:13030085

In this presentation Dr Fehr will discuss the results of ISU ADVANCE, a $3.3 million National Science Foundation supported research project designed to test strategies for improving the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women and members of underrepresented minority groups in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In particular, this talk will address barriers to, and strategies for, improving the work climate in scientific communities. These improvements benefit both men and women scientists and support research excellence.

High Energy Physics
I briefly summarize the potential of the LHC to produce boosted objects and that of the experiments to recognize them as such analyzing jet substructure. Then, I consider boosted top quarks in some detail, the boosted object that has probably been most extensively studied. I evaluate ATLAS ttbar resonance searches to understand how and why dedicated algorithms outperform more classical techniques. Finally, I discuss a number of analyses where boosted techniques are likely to make a difference

General Relativity & Quantum Cosmology
Gravity Induced Grand Unification
Motivated by the lack of evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model in the TeV region, we discussed an alternative path for grand unification. We show that simple grand unification models based on e.g. SU(5) can work successfully even without low scale supersymmetry. In particular quantum gravitational effects could easily modify the unification conditions for the gauge and Yukawa couplings.

Testing the consistency of quantum gravity with low-energy properties of the standard model
Testing quantum gravity is possible by using, e.g. the available data on the properties of the standard model. I will discuss how a parameterisation of quantum gravity fluctuations in terms of metric fluctuations can be used to test the compatibility of quantum gravity with the observed low-energy properties of the standard model, such as the existence of fermions with masses much below the Planck mass.
______________________________

The Asymptotic Safety program
The effective average action approach to Quantum Einstein Gravity (QEG) is discussed as a natural framework for exploring the scale dependent Riemannian geometry and multifractal micro-structure of the effective spacetimes predicted by QEG. Their fractal properties are related to the functional RG flow on theory space, and the special role of the running cosmological constant is emphasized. The prospects of an experimental verification will also be discussed.
Experimental tests of CPT symmetry

The three discrete symmetries of Quantum Mechanics, charge conjugation, parity, and time reversal, are all violated, singly or in pairs. CPT is the only combination of these symmetries which appears to be conserved in Nature. Even though this result is in agreement with the well known CPT theorem, that holds for standard quantum field theories, CPT violation in some cases might be expected and justified in the framework of a quantum theory of gravity. Here the last and more refined experimental searches for CPT violation effects will be reported with a special focus on the tests performed on neutral meson systems and the interplay between CPT symmetry and the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics. No deviation from the expectations of CPT symmetry and quantum mechanics is observed, while the precision of the measurements, in some cases, reaches the interesting Planck scale region. Finally, prospects for this kind of experimental studies will be presented.

Non-thermal quantum black holes
Motivated by the lack of evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model in the TeV region, we discussed an alternative path for grand unification. We show that simple grand unification models based on e.g. SU(5) can work successfully even without low scale supersymmetry. In particular quantum gravitational effects could easily modify the unification conditions for the gauge and Yukawa couplings.

Searches for Nonperturbative Gravitational States at the LHC
Searches for black holes and string balls have recently be performed by LHC experiments. Upper limits have been placed on the production crosssections time experimental acceptance. Hard-disk production of thesestates have been ruled out over most of the current LHC energy reach.However the LHC has said little about nonperturbative states producedin model with reduced cross sections. I will discuss some popularmodels that have not yet been ruled out by the LHC experiments.

Models of new physics beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics
Models of new physics beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics suggest that the quantum scale of gravity could be as low as the electro-weak or TeV energy scale. If so, they offer the exciting possibility that quantum gravity becomes accessible, experimentally, at particle colliders such as the LHC. From the theory side, low-scale gravity scenarios often require extra dimensions, or a large number of additional particle species.
I propose to discuss the possibility for signatures of low-scale quantum gravity, the feasibility of concrete (quantitative) predictions based on eg. specific processes and quantum gravity set-ups, and options for experimental tests.

General Relativity & Quantum Cosmology
The LHC has been running for over 2 years and the different experiments have accumulated enough data to find a new particle which could well be the Higgs boson, achieve Standard Model measurements with precision at the percent level, and seriously constrain a large variety of new physics scenarios, giving important hints on what the physics beyond the Standard Model can be and what it cannot be. This presentation will focus on ATLAS and CMS latest searches for new physics in events featuring signatures relevant to theories of quantum gravity. Will be presented the results on searches for large extra dimensions (direct graviton emission, virtual graviton propagation, Kaluza-Klein Randall-Sundrum resonances, etc.) and other TeV-scale gravity phenomena such as black holes (rotating and non-rotating) and string balls production and decay. Results will be reported on each of the various final states investigated for each signals. The results of some searches that are not typically interpreted into bounds on quantum gravity signals, but which could provide complementary information such as the number of possible matter fields compatible with LHC data will also be presented. An attempt to present plausible future reach of the LHC will finally be briefly discussed.
