Title: Electrical and Optical Characterization of Molecular Nanojunctions
Abstract: Electrical conduction at the single molecule scale has been studied extensively with molecular nanojunctions. However, our understanding is hindered by a lack of methods for simultaneous local imaging or spectroscopy to…
Neutrino Detection with Liquid Argon - Joshua Spitz Yale University PFEP SEMINAR
Wed, Dec 15, 2010, 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm
Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) technol-ogy offers exceptional position resolution, total-absorption calorimetry, scalability, and efficient particle identification for neutrino detection. ArgoNeuT, a 170 liter LArTPC neu-trino detector set in the NuMI neutrino beamline at Fermilab, has recently collected thousands of low energy (~3…

Title: Resonant Non-Gaussianity
Mathieu Lewin (Universite de Cergy-Pointoise) "Geometric methods for nonlinear quantum many-body systems"
Tue, Dec 14, 2010, 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm
Geometric techniques have played an important role in the seventies, for the study of the spectrum of many-body Schrödinger operators. In this talk I will present a formalism which also allows to study nonlinear systems. I will in particular define a weak topology on many-body states, which appropriately describes the physical behavior of the…
Seth Zenz- "Track Jets and their Applications: Soft QCD, Jet Quenching, and Beyond"
Tue, Dec 14, 2010, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Jets produced in collisions at the CERN LHC can be reconstructed using the charged-particle tracks measured in the ATLAS Inner Detector. Jets are produced copiously at the LHC, and can be used to study the details of the strong interaction, the hot dense medium produced in heavy ion collisions, and new fundamental particles. Track-based jet…

Andrey Katz-UMD- "Jet substructure and the Search for Z' in Electroweak Boson Channels"
Thu, Dec 9, 2010, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Abstract: "Strongly coupled models at the TeV scale often predict one or more Z' bosons which have appreciable branching ratios into EW bosons. These Z's are usually believed to have multi-TeV mass due to electroweak precision constraints, placing them on the edge of the LHC discovery reach. In my talk I will discuss the possibility of…
Giovanni Gallavotti , Title: Nonequilibrium: Thermostats, BBGKY Hierarchy, Fourier's Equation
Wed, Dec 8, 2010, 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Abstract: Review of rigorous results on thermostats. Families of exact formal solutions of the BBGKY hierarchy for hard sphere systems with free boundary conditions at collisions and Fourier equation emergence, to first order in the temperature difference, after boundary conditions are imposed. Formal means that the solutions are given by…

Title: Diffusion and Diffraction of Polaritons in Atomic Media
Abstract: We investigate the non-local optical response in a medium of diffusing atoms, where the spectra exhibit motional broadening and narrowing features. Light-matter polaritons traversing the…
Alex Himmel-"Muon Neutrino and Antineutrino Oscillations at MINOS"
Tue, Dec 7, 2010, 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
MINOS is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment with two detectors 734 km apart exposed to the Fermilab NuMI neutrino beam. By comparing the energy spectrum and beam composition at the two sites neutrino oscillations at L/E~500 km/GeV can be measured with precision. We present measurements of the atmospheric mass splitting and mixing…

Title: Wall Crossing from Boltzmann Black Hole Halos
Abstract: By representing the potentially unstable bound states as multi-centered black hole solutions in N=2 supergravity, we provide explicit formula for the change in the (refined) index across a wall of marginal stability. The main physical insight behind our…

Title: Strongly correlated photons in coupled cavity/circuit QED systems
Abstract:
Motivated by the recent success of engineering strong light-matter interaction in various cavity/circuit QED architectures, there has been a surge of interest in realizing condensed matter-like systems with photonic systems.
One of the most…
