Multiscale and Multiphysics Simulations for Beyond the Standard Model Cosmology and Phenomenology

Explore a physics seminar where Josh Foster from MIT delves into large-scale numerical simulations essential for understanding Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics in cosmology and particle phenomenology. Learn about cutting-edge applications of computational methods in studying topological defects in axion fields for dark matter mass predictions and calculating gravitational wave production during early matter-dominated cosmological periods. Gain insights into how these advanced simulations bridge the gap between theoretical physics and experimental observations, particularly in investigating nonlinear and nonperturbative dynamics in the early universe.
