  • Cold Chemistry, Hot Implications: Molecular Complexity in Interstellar Space

    Colloquia
    Watanabe 112
    Colloquium

    Speakers: Prof. Ralf Kaiser (University of Hawaii, W M Keck Center for Astrochemistry) Over the past decade, a paradigm shift has emerged in astrochemistry: complex organic molecules can form efficiently in the coldest regions of space. Ice-coated interstellar grains are now recognized as molecular factories that drive the synthesis of biorelevant species within cold molecular ... Read more

  • Magnets are Weber Bars

    Seminar
    Watanabe 112
    Seminar

    Speakers: Prof. Nicholas Rodd (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) In this talk I'll describe how a magnet can be used as a Weber bar for the detection of gravitational waves. The concept is applicable to a broad class of magnets, but can be particularly well exploited by the powerful magnets being deployed in search of axion dark matter, ... Read more

  • The Higgs Boson as a Tool for Discovery

    Colloquia
    Watanabe 112
    Colloquium

    Speakers: Prof. JoAnne Hewett (StonyBrook) Discovered a decade ago, the Higgs boson offers a unique portal into the laws of nature and any small deviation in its expected properties would constitute a major breakthrough. The full discovery potential of the Higgs will be unleashed by percent and sub-percent level precision studies of the Higgs properties. Such measurements ... Read more

  • The Belle II/SuperKEKB Upgrade

    Colloquia
    Watanabe 112
    Colloquium

    Speakers: Peter Lewis (University of Hawaii) The Belle II experiment has been collecting data since 2019. The physics program of the experiment is very broad and depends on collecting as much data as possible. This necessitates operation at unprecedented luminosity, which will require extensive accelerator and detector upgrades scheduled for 2032. I will survey the planned ... Read more
