Colloquium – Jeffery Sherman – Atomic timekeeping
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Dr. Jeffery Sherman (NIST) Title: Atomic timekeeping Abstract: At present, our best recipe for measurement of time calls for keeping a continuous count of a stable, periodic process, such as oscillations of an isolated naturally-occurring quantum mechanical system. Atomic clocks and frequency references underpin essential technologies like global positioning, telecommunications, and effectively all dimensional
Colloquium – Jean-Francois Paquet – Multi-messenger nuclear physics and microscopic relativistic fluids
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Jean-François Paquet (Vanderbilt University) Title: Multi-messenger nuclear physics and microscopic relativistic fluids Abstract The quark-gluon plasma is a new phase of matter that can be produced by colliding large nuclei at velocities close to the speed of light. This plasma is both the smallest and hottest liquid ever produced, extending the size of a
