Explore the beaming properties of Fast Radio Bursts in this 16-minute conference talk delivered at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences as part of the FTSky program. Learn about the directional emission characteristics of these mysterious cosmic phenomena and how beaming effects influence our detection and understanding of FRBs. Discover the theoretical frameworks and observational evidence that help explain why we observe certain FRBs while others may remain undetected due to their beaming patterns. Examine how beaming properties relate to FRB progenitor models and emission mechanisms, and understand the implications for population studies and rate calculations of these transient radio sources. Gain insights into the geometric considerations that affect FRB visibility and the statistical methods used to account for beaming effects in astronomical surveys.
