Spinning black hole binary dynamics, scattering amplitudes, and effective field theory

Z Bern, A Luna, R Roiban, CH Shen, M Zeng - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We describe a systematic framework for finding the conservative potential of compact binary
systems with spin based on scattering amplitudes of particles of arbitrary spin and effective …

Energetics and scattering of gravitational two-body systems at fourth post-Minkowskian order

M Khalil, A Buonanno, J Steinhoff, J Vines - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Upcoming observational runs of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration and future
gravitational-wave (GW) detectors on the ground and in space require waveform models …

Scattering of tidally interacting bodies in post-Minkowskian gravity

D Bini, T Damour, A Geralico - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
The post-Minkowskian approach to gravitationally interacting binary systems (ie,
perturbation theory in G, without assuming small velocities) is extended to the computation …

Strings, extended objects, and the classical double copy

WD Goldberger, J Li - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We extend Shen's recent formulation (arxiv: 1806.07388) of the classical double
copy, based on explicit color-kinematic duality, to the case of finite-size sources with non …

Gravitational spin-orbit dynamics at the fifth-and-a-half post-Newtonian order

M Khalil - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Accurate waveform models are crucial for gravitational-wave data analysis, and since spin
has a significant effect on the binary dynamics, it is important to improve the spin description …

The eikonal approximation and the gravitational dynamics of binary systems

AK Collado - arxiv preprint arxiv:2009.11053, 2020 - arxiv.org
In this thesis we study the conservative gravitational dynamics of binary systems using the
eikonal approximation; allowing us to use scattering amplitude techniques to calculate …
