SUMMARY:New Physics and the Black Hole Mass Gap\, Network in Neutrinos
 \, Nuclear Astrophysics\, and Symmetries (N3AS) Seminar\, Sam McDermot
 t \, Fermilab
DESCRIPTION:The LIGO/Virgo collaboration has recently announced the de
 tection of GW190521: a heavy binary black hole merger with component m
 asses in the "black hole mass gap\," which cannot be explained by stan
 dard stellar structure theory. In this talk\, I will discuss how new l
 ight particles that couple to the Standard Model can act as an additio
 nal source of energy loss in the cores of population-III stars\, drama
 tically altering their evolution and potentially explaining GW190521. 
 The black hole mass gap will emerge as a powerful tool for studying be
 yond the Standard Model particle physics.
