K. Kajantie (HIP)
Physics of gravitational radiation
Abstract: The LIGO Laser Interferometer signal GW150914 was the first ever direct observation of gravitational radiation. This talk will review how you get gravitational radiation and black holes from general relativity and discuss the magnitudes of relevant physical parameters.

Venus Keus (Helsinki)
Dark Matter in multi-inert doublet models
Abstract: Dark Matter (DM), arising from an Inert Higgs Doublet, may either be light, below the W mass, or heavy, above about 525 GeV. While the light region may soon be excluded, the heavy region is known to be very difficult to probe with either Direct Detection (DD) experiments or the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this talk I will discuss that adding a second Inert Higgs Doublet helps to make the heavy DM region accessible to both DD and the LHC, by either increasing its couplings to the observed Higgs boson, or lowering its mass to 360 GeV < $m_{DM}$, or both.

The Helsinki Workshop on Quantum Gravity
————————————————————–
A workshop on quantum gravity will be held in the Physics department
the 1st to 3rd of June 2016. The idea of the workshop is to introduce
the subject of quantum gravity in Finland. In particular to the
interested student.
