DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Christoph Dlapa (Uni Hamburg/DESY)\n\nMotivated by t
 he success of current gravitational-wave detectors\, there has been signif
 icant progress in applying ideas from particle physics to the study of the
  inspiral problem for compact objects in classical general relativity. In 
 particular\, the methods and tools developed in perturbative quantum field
  theory arise most naturally when applied to the post-Minkowskian expansio
 n\, which is an expansion in Newton’s coupling constant. In this talk\, 
 I will provide an overview of current approaches and show how the state of
  the art for non-spinning black-hole binaries has been achieved using an e
 ffective field theory of point particles. Importantly\, I will also discus
 s how results obtained for scattering can be translated to the phenomenolo
 gically relevant case of merging black holes.\n\nhttps://indico.zdv.uni-ma
