Title: Flavor Physics and EDM Probes of the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry

Abstract: Electroweak baryogenesis is one of the most theoretically well-motivated and experimentally testable mechanisms for explaining  the matter-antimatter asymmetry. Beyond Standard Model CP-violation is a key electroweak baryogenesis ingredient. In this talk, I discuss how searches for permanent electric dipole moments and heavy flavor physics CPV studies provide complementary probes of this baryogenesis scenario.

 

Here is the bio:

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.
