Unified limiting form of graviton radiation at extreme energies

by Marcello Ciafaloni (FI)

Europe/Rome
Description
After a plain introduction to the thought-experiment of transplanckian scattering, I present a new calculation of the associated graviton radiation, whose limiting form unifies the soft- and high-energy emission regimes. The graviton spin and its helicity transformation phases play a fundamental role in determining both the elegant form of the gravitational coherent-state and its new features, like the deeply subplanckian characteristic energies and the reduction of fragmentation region and rapidity plateau around the Einstein deflection cone.
