Departmental Colloquium

Speaker: Prof. Bhupal Dev (Washington University, St. Louis) Title: Neutrino portal to new physics Abstract: Neutrinos have played a crucial role in our understanding of the Universe. In particular, the discovery of neutrino oscillations has provided a concrete evidence for the existence of some new physics beyond the Standard Model. However, given the lack of

Speaker: Philip Rodrigues Title: Towards precision measurements of neutrino oscillations Abstract: Neutrinos, the lightest massive particle in the Standard Model of particle physics, have been studied experimentally for over 50 years, yet many questions remain: What are the masses of the neutrinos, and why are they so small? Is the neutrino its own antiparticle? Do

Astrophysicist Prof. Jorge Moreno from Cal Poly Pomona will give a talk "Galaxy Mergers on FIRE: Mapping Star Formation".

Speaker: Shufeng Zhang, University of Arizona Title: Angular momentum transport in Spintronics Abstract: Spin current describes angular momentum flow. Both charged and neutral particles such as electrons and magnons can serve as spin current carriers. Spin current plays a central role in propagating spin information in spin-based electronics. I will start with describing fundamental differences
