Coarse-Grained Holography: Chaos, Eigenstate Thermalization, and 3D Gravity / Liška, Diego (speaker) (EPFL/U. Geneva)
In recent years, it has become clear that the path integral of semiclassical 3D gravity offers a "coarse-grained" description of its holographic 2D CFT. This relationship is particularly transparent when considering the statistical moments of operator product expansion (OPE) coefficients in the CFT. [...]

Timing RPCs: 25 years / Fonte, Paulo (speaker) (Department of Radiation Oncology, Yonsei Cancer Center, Heavy Ion Therapy Research Institute, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea Coimbra Institute of Engineering, Polytechnic University of Coimbra, Portugal LIP - Laboratory of Instrumentation and Experimental Particle Physics, Coimbra, Portugal)
About 25 years ago, in the framework of the ALICE TOF R&D effort, the time resolution of the RPC detector technology was extended to sub-100 ps by decreasing the gap width by about one order of magnitude and adopting the multigap construction method. This resolution range is interesting for particle tagging or identification by time-of-flight and opened the way to practical very large time-of-flight detectors for HEP and nuclear physics. The 1999/09/27 an EP Detector Seminar was given on this matter, covering the main results and the first explorations in the physics of this detector. In the present seminar we will revisit the preceding related detectors and the discovery process, summarize the applications that have meanwhile emerged and the status of the theoretical understanding of these detectors..

Renormalization of the primordial inflationary power spectra / Pla Garcia, Silvia (speaker) (King's College London)
In this talk, I will explore the effects of renormalization on the amplitude of the inflationary spectra at scales measurable in the cosmic microwave background. Via a gauge-invariant analysis, I will explain why the standard prediction for the spectra on superhorizon scales is a late-time attractor while they are UV finite at all times. [...]

The Born regime of gravitational amplitudes / Isabella, Giulia (speaker) (UCLA)
I will discuss 2 -> 2 scattering in the regime where the wavelength of the scattered objects is comparable to the impact parameter but much larger than any Compton wavelength in the QFT. In this regime - which differs from the eikonal - the Feynman diagram expansion organizes itself naturally in terms of a geometric (or Born) series that iterates an effective “quantum mechanical” potential [...]

Physics of and from the large-scale structure of the Universe / Lewandowski, Matthew (speaker)
It is expected that measurements of the large-scale structure of the Universe will soon become our leading sources of fundamental cosmological information. In this talk, I will review some of the major progress, both theoretical and data-oriented, that we have made in understanding the physics of galaxy clustering, as well as what we might hope to learn about new physics (including primordial non-Gaussianities) from these measurements.

Stochastic inflation: key insights, latest advances and future directions / Animali, Chiara (speaker)
During inflation, quantum vacuum fluctuations are stretched beyond the Hubble radius, modifying the large-scale dynamics of the universe. Although typically negligible in the perturbative regime, this backreaction can become significant in regimes leading to primordial black hole (PBH) formation, where large density fluctuations arise, and which are the standard framework for addressing loop corrections.

On the IR divergences in de Sitter: loops, resummation and the semi-classical wavefunction / Cespedes, Sebastian (speaker)
Detecting local Non-Gaussianity provides valuable insights into the early universe's particle composition. Interactions between the inflaton and light particles yield distinctive signatures, potentially observable in upcoming surveys. [...]

IR finite correlation functions in de Sitter space, a smooth massless limit, and an autonomous equation / Petriakova, Polina (speaker) (Bologna U.)
Currently, the study of cosmological correlation functions is extremely favored, and a large number of new techniques are being developed. I will discuss a less-fashioned but very efficient technique to calculate the loop corrections to the correlation function in the long-wavelength approximation. [...]

New analytical results for massive inflationary correlators at tree and loop orders / Xianyu, Zhong-Zhi (speaker)
I will report a few new methods and results we recently obtained on the analytical computation of cosmological correlators with massive exchanges. At the tree level, we derive a complete set of differential equations for an arbitrary number of massive exchanges. [...]
