- The Festina Lente Bound
- Time: 1:00 pm
- Place: Chamberlin 5280
- Speaker: Thomas Van Riet, Leuven University
- Abstract: The Festina Lente proposal bounds masses of charged particles in terms of the Hubble scale and the Planck scale. This bound is supposed to be a Swampland bound and is required for successful UV completion of an EFT. I will explain how this bound is motivated from semi-classical black hole physics, I briefly sketch how it can constrain both bottom-up phenomenology and string phenomenology.
