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
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
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 ...

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 ...

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
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
Speakers: Giordan Stark (UC Santa Cruz) Communicating results between experimentalists and theorists in particle physics has been long and varied. From efficiency maps to selection cut flows - the collaboration between the two communities has continued to grow and evolve. Now, particularly more than ever, a stronger effort has been led within the ATLAS Collaboration ... Read more
