Classical Gravitation from Quantum Scattering Amplitudes

Jenna Lane — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 08:38:36 +0000

Written by Kays Haddad. Based on the article ‘Heavy Black Hole Effective Theory‘, P. H. Damgaard, K. Haddad, A. Helset, [arXiv.org]. Over a century after its formulation, predictions of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, describing gravitational interactions, continue to be verified experimentally. One of the predicted phenomena is gravitational waves (GWs), gravitational radiation emitted when …
