Title: Cosmic Superstrings
Speaker: Dr. Rob Myers
Institute: Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
Location: ABB 102
Description:
Modern string theory provides a rich array of objects which could have been produced in the early universe and then may have been stretched to a “cosmic” size today. I discuss conditions which allow this to occur as well as their observable signatures. These cosmic superstrings could provide a spectacular window into the microphysics of string theory through astronomical observations.
