Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Fall 2019 – Plattner
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Alain Plattner(University of Alabama) Title: Planet Mercury's Weird Magnetic Field Abstract: It had been known since the Mariner 10 flybys in the 70s, that Mercury is the only other terrestrial planet with an active core magnetic field. Until NASA's MESSENGER satellite mission (in orbit 2011 - 2015), little was known about the morphology of
HEP Seminar – Fall 2019 – Kanno
GL 338Speaker: Sugumi Kanno (Osaka University) Title: Detecting nonclassical primordial gravitational waves with Hanbury Brown - Twiss interferometry Abstract: We consider possible detection of nonclassicality of primordial gravitational waves (PGWs) by applying Hanbury Brown - Twiss (HBT) interferometry to cosmology. We characterize the nonclassicality of PGWs in terms of sub-Poissonian statistics that can be measured by
