Title: Scattering on the Coulomb branch of planar N=4 SYM

Abstract: We consider scattering on the Coulomb branch of planar N=4 SYM. At weak coupling scattering amplitudes can be computed using Feynman diagrams and the relevant degrees of freedom are quarks and gluons. At strong coupling the dynamics is captured by string scattering in flat space.  We combine dual conformal invariance, integrability, and the S-matrix bootstrap to explore scattering at finite coupling.
