Title: Gaia Excess Magnitude Uncertainties as a Proxy for Stellar Age Abstract: Young stars are known to be more active, leading to a long-studied correlation between stellar age and photometric variability. Although individual, similarly aged stars seem to largely vary in … Read more
Sign Optimization and Quantum Field Theories: Lessons from QCD-like models Monte Carlo methods using the lattice formulation provide the only known procedure for calculating the predictions of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) in the low energy, strongly coupled regime. In the … Read more
Development of a Characterization Facility and Analysis Process for LEGEND-200 HPGe Detectors Neutrinos are tiny, neutral particles with masses much smaller than other particles in the Standard Model. This mass difference could be explained if the neutrino is a … Read more
"Enabling the Future of Fast Transient Characterization: Building ArgusSpec and Prototyping the Argus Array" Searches for short-duration astrophysical transients, such as stellar superflares, small planet microlensing events, and optical counterparts to gamma-ray bursts, are challenging due to their stochastic … Read more
The Triangle Nuclear Theory Colloquium (TNT) is a DOE-funded Colloquium series jointly organized and held at Duke University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) and the North Carolina State University (NC-State). Speaker: Evan Berkowitz Institution: Forschungszentrum Jülich … Read more
From bioinspired structure formation to particle-based metamaterials Andreas Fery Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden and Technical University Dresden, Germany Metallic nanoparticles offer a number of interesting optical and electronic effects. A prominent example is localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), which … Read more
Did you know that the Universe is very environmentally friendly? It recycles! Interstellar gas serves as the 'recycling bin' for the Milky Way, helping create the planets we see today. Join us as Dr. Fabian Heitsch gives us the inside scoop on … Read more
Probing the Early Universe with Dark Matter Annihilation Observations of the oldest light in the Universe and other astronomical measurements indicate that only 5% of the current energy content of the Universe is stored in elements found on the periodic … Read more
Physics From the Ground Up – our monthly talk series hosted at Lanza’s Cafe aimed at presenting exciting physics research to the general public. Tuesday nights from 6-8pm at Lanza's Cafe in Carrboro
Time Reversal Symmetry Violation in Neutral Systems: The Nuclear Schiff Moment and Atomic EDM The electric dipole moment (EDM) is the "smoking gun" of time reversal symmetry violation. For a neutral atom, the nuclear EDM is screened by the … Read more
