Programming Interaction and Assembly with Magnetic Handshake Materials

Watanabe 112 2505 Correa Road, Honolulu, HI, United States

Speakers: Chrisy Xiyu Du (UH. Mech. Eng.) Biological materials gain complexity from the programmable nature of their components. To manufacture materials with comparable complexity synthetically, we need to create building blocks with low crosstalk so that they only bind to their desired partners. Canonically, these building blocks are made using DNA strands or proteins to ... Read more

Particle Beams and Accelerators: Pushing the Frontiers of Science

Watanabe 112 2505 Correa Road, Honolulu, HI, United States

Speakers: Vladimir Shiltsev (NIU) Over the past three decades, the science of beams has evolved into a distinct discipline with its own subjects and methods. Some 30,000 accelerators are in operation worldwide today, including over 100 of major facilities for fundamental science research.  Around 5,000 accelerator scientists and engineers work in over 50 countries, collaborating ...

Symmetries and Particle Physics

Room 420 (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Xiaochuan Lu (University of California, San Diego) Symmetry principles are extremely powerful tools for understanding the properties of physics systems generally, including particle physics. The ideas of symmetry are critical for establishing the Standard Model of particle physics and will guide us towards future discoveries. In this talk, I will explain how to make ... Read more

Charting the Uncharted: Hamiltonian Truncation and Real-Time Dynamics in Strongly Coupled Field Theories

Room 112 (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Brian Henning (Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics/UCSB) Strong-coupling phenomena—ranging from exotic meson structures to the rich QCD phase diagram impacting heavy ion collisions, neutron stars, and early-universe transitions—pose challenges that have long eluded our conventional perturbative and lattice tools. In this colloquium, I will present a novel nonperturbative approach based on Hamiltonian truncation (HT), ... Read more

Mesogenesis

Room 112 (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Gilly Elor (University of Texas, Austin) What is the Universe made of?  Why do complex structures such as ourselves exist?  I will present my proposal for simultaneously solving both these outstanding mysteries of particle physics: Mesogenesis, which generates both the observed asymmetry of matter over antimatter in the early Universe, and the population of Dark ...

Hidden Naturalness in Cosmology and at Colliders

Room 420 (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Matthew Low (University of Pittsburgh) One of the enduring mysteries in particle physics is the lightness of the Higgs mass which is known as the electroweak hierarchy problem. Traditionally, colliders have been the leading tool to search for theories that solve this problem. In recent years, however, data from the Large Hadron Collider has ... Read more

Beyond Minimal Dark Matter Models and their Novel Dynamics in the Early Universe

Room 112 (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Pouya Asadi (University of Oregon) The particle nature of dark matter is currently one of the biggest open questions of particle physics. In this colloquium I will review some of the evidence for the existence of the dark matter and discuss the need for its non-gravitational interactions with the Standard Model. I will also ...

Application of FPGA devices in experimental high-energy physics

Room 112 (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Yun-Tsung Lai (KEK) Abstract: In the high-energy experiments, especially for those with high luminosity collider, the data acquisition system is designed to be capable of handling large event rate and data size. Electronics devices with Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and Field-Programmable-Gate-Array (FPGA) are essential to perform real-time processing on the data from particle ... Read more

Publish, Don’t Perish! “Writing for Academic Publication” Workshop

Room 112 (Watanabe Hall)

Speakers: Issac Wang, Siobhan K. H. Brimhali Come all! This highly interactive workshop, presented in coordination with the Writing Center, is designed to enhance some of the foundational tools needed to successfully present your research to an academic journal audience. Some of the topics that will be covered are "structuring a paper for journals in ... Read more
