Colloquium

Speakers: Dr Shawn Dubey (Brown University) Machine Learning (ML) has advanced rapidly over the past decade, transforming the way data-intensive sciences are conducted. High energy physics is distinctive among the physical sciences in its early adoption and deployment of new AI/ML methods, driven by extreme data volumes, complex event structures, and stringent real-time constraints. In ... Read more

Speakers: Prof. Yangheng Zheng (Chinese Academy of Sciences) Using a sensitive detection system developed by the MigdAl pRocess Validation by nEutruaL scattering (MERVEL) collaboration team, which combines a micropattern gasous detector with a semiconductor pixel readout chip, the apparatus effectively functions as a camera capable of imaging the single‑atom electron‑emission process. Using neutron–nucleus scattering, the team made ... Read more

Speakers: Asst. Prof. Niels Bidault (University of Hawaii at Manoa) The electron beam linear accelerator (linac) at the Free Electron Laser (FEL) Laboratory at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is currently undergoing recommissioning. The facility was originally installed and operated under the direction of Prof. John Madey, pioneer of FEL science. The accelerator provides ... Read more
