Lousto delivers talk at American Physical Society Meeting
Carlos Lousto, professor in the School of Mathematical Sciences and the Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation, will deliver a virtual talk on a novel finding derived from 1,341 numerical simulations of black hole collisions at the American Physical Society April Meeting 2023 on April 24. Lousto and co-author James Healy, research associate in the College of Science, found that the absolute maximum recoil velocity during black hole mergers is roughly 9 percent of the speed of light — or a speedy 26,677±470 kilometers per second. The discovery has far-reaching applications, including the optimization of high-energy colliders and the enhancement of theorems placing bounds on general relativity.
