#### GalaxyClustersasTele-ALP-scopes

Triangular Seminar Joe au:Conlon'><span class='hl'>Joe</span> Conlon (Oxford)

 at: 16:30 KCLroom SMinus2.23 abstract: Galaxy clusters are the most efficient convertors of axion-like particles to photons in the universe. I discuss the physics and phenomenology of ALPs, and describe their astrophysical implications, with particular reference to the recently observed 3.5 keV X-ray line that is a candidate for a dark matter decay line.

#### TowardsRealisticStringVacua

Regular Seminar Joe au:Conlon'><span class='hl'>Joe</span> Conlon (Oxford)

 at: 13:15 KCLroom 423 abstract: I describe work aimed at combining the advances in moduli stabilisation and supersymmetry breaking with that in building D-brane models with realistic chiral matter spectra. The framework is models of D3/D7 branes at del Pezzo singularities embedded in the LARGE volume scenario of moduli stabilisation. I describe the general phenomenological properties that emerge and discuss the difficulties in computing visible sector soft terms.
