  • Physics Colloquium:Henning Back

    Riddick 301 2401 Stinson Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

    Title: Advancing Ultra-Sensitive Radiation Detection: Applications of Rare Event Physics to Global Security Abstract: Addressing global security challenges requires enhanced radiation detection capabilities to meet the needs of organizations such as the IAEA, CTBTO, and the U.S. Government. Key priorities include the accurate determination of radionuclide concentrations in environmental samples with improved speed, sensitivity, and…

  • CMB Seminar: Brian Kuhlman

    Bureau of Mines 201

    Title: De novo protein design with multi-objective fitness functions Abstract: We have developed a protein design pipeline, called EvoPro, that uses iterative rounds of deep learning-based structure prediction and sequence optimization to evolve protein sequences for prespecified design goals. Two design projects will be described that make use of EvoPro: the creation of a set…

  • Physics Colloquium: Michael Shull

    Riddick 301 2401 Stinson Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

    Title: Ionization Sources of the Local Interstellar Clouds Abstract: The structure of the local interstellar clouds is influenced by stellar ionizing sources that shaped it dynamically and thermally over the last 5 million years. The dominant sources include two massive B-type stars, currently at distances of 124 and 151 pc in the Canis Majoris constellation,…

  • TNT Seminar: Mia Kumamoto

    Riddick 400P 2401 Katherine Stinson Dr, Raleigh, NC, United States

    Title: Pion Mass Dependence in Chiral EFT and the QCD Axion Abstract: QCD and effective field theory together put low energy nuclear physics on solid theoretical footing to calculate observables with some confidence, but open questions remain.  Two related questions are why QCD seems not to violate CP and how the properties of nuclear matter…

  • Physics Colloquium: Greg Gbur

    Riddick 301 2401 Stinson Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

    Title: Invisibility: The History and Science of How Not To Be Seen Abstract: The idea that it might be possible to make a perfect invisibility cloak was a frequent topic in the news and the scientific literature over the past two decades. The subject of invisibility physics, however, has a history that stretches back well…

    Riddick 202

    Title: Generalizing deconfined criticality to 3d N-flavor SU(2) quantum chromodynamics on the fuzzy sphere Abstract:  The fuzzy sphere formalism is a recently introduced powerful lens to probe critical behavior and find clear numerical signatures of conformal symmetry. After introducing the technique, we use it to investigate a candidate for SU(2) QCD with N fermions and…
