Gravitational Scattering in the Worldline Effective Field Theory Approach

Explore advanced concepts in gravitational physics through this special seminar presentation by Massimiliano Riva from Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), focusing on the application of worldline Effective Field Theory approaches to gravitational scattering. Delve into post-Minkowskian perturbation methods and their crucial role in understanding binary systems' gravitational waveforms. Learn how modern Quantum-Field-Theory integration techniques combine with classical Effective-Field-Theory worldline approaches to calculate essential observables including scattering angles, radiated linear momentum, and angular momentum. Master the expanding field of analytical gravitational dynamics and radiation in both classical and quantum contexts during this 57-minute comprehensive physics discussion.
