UNC-CH Nuclear Colloquium Saori Pastore, LANL "Fundamental Physics with Electroweak Probes of Nuclei" The past decade has witnessed tremendous progress in the theoretical and computational tools that produce our understanding of nuclei. A number of microscopic calculations of nuclear structure … Read more
"UNC-CH Nuclear Chalk Talk" Saori Pastore, LANL "Two-nucleon electroweak currents" In this talk, I will discuss available models of two-nucleon electroweak currents and their impact on ongoing research programs in fundamental symmetries and neutrinos.
"UNC-CH Astrophysics Colloquium" Katherine Alatalo, Carnegie Observatories "The life-cycle of gas in dying galaxies" Modern day galaxies populate a bimodal distribution, in both morphology and color space. Their morphological and color properties are also inter-related, with lenticular and elliptical galaxies … Read more
"UNC-CH Astrophysics Chalk Talk" Katherine Alatalo, Carnegie Observatories "Title and Abstract to be Announced"
Joint String Theory Seminar at Duke Ken Intriligator, UCSD "Aspects of (susy) CFTs and RG flows" The traditional approach to quantum field theory starts with free fields and adds interactions. This approach misses many interesting, and potentially useful, quantum field … Read more
UNC-CH PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY DISCUSSION On Friday Feb. 17 and Friday Apr. 7 at 2:30 in Phillips 277, a task force including faculty, staff, and grad & undergrad students will lead moderated discussions of issues that concern all of us … Read more
UNC-CH Nuclear Colloquium Amy Nicholson, Berkeley "Exploring beyond the Standard Model with Lattice QCD" While the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has been enormously successful in describing the world around us, there still remain many important and unanswered questions … Read more
UNC-CH Nuclear Chalk Talk Amy Nicholson, Berkeley "Nuclear Physics from Lattice QCD" Understanding nuclear physics from first principles is a long-standing goal of many nuclear physicists, and there are many important quantities, such as the three neutron interaction, which are … Read more
"UNC-CH Astrophysics Colloquium" David Sand, Texas-Tech University "Unveiling the Physics and Progenitors of Cosmic Explosions with a One Day Cadence Supernova Search" Supernovae (SNe) are a linchpin for understanding the chemical evolution and star formation history of the Universe. Despite … Read more
