Abstract: Although the Standard Model of particle physics, in conjunction with General Relativity, explains a wide range of physical phenomena, there are good reasons to believe that it does not represent a complete description of Nature. In this lecture, we will introduce the Standard Model and discuss some of its empirical and conceptual shortcomings.

In this lecture we will discuss the history of the neutrino including the astonishing phenomenon of neutrino flavor oscillations. We will then review the current knowledge of neutrino properties and the remaining open questions in neutrino physics. -

Abstract: In this talk you will learn what a muon is, what a magnetic moment is, why it is anomalous, and what this has to do with the energy of the vacuum.

Abstract: In this talk, we will review a few salient ATLAS results in the searches for new physics at the LHC. This will include searches for exotic states, super symmetry, extended Higgs sectors, long-lived particles and dark sector states.

Abstract: After a general introduction to hadrons, quarks and QCD, I will focus on spin physics.
Go to contribution page
I give a brief overview of spin in quantum mechanics and in particle physics.
I then introduce the physics of the proton spin. I explain the puzzle concerning the origin of proton spin and our past, present and future efforts to solve this puzzle. -

I will give an introduction into the exciting field of quantum computation and quantum simulation from the perspective of a nuclear theorists.
My goal is to convince you that this potentially is the very beginning of a new era, where theorists may be able to compute things that had been impossible before.
I will highlight the many connections between high energy and nuclear,... -

Abstract: Di-leptons and photons are a crucial probe of the strongly interacting matter created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Leptons and photons are produced during the whole evolution of the created matter and can traverse the medium with minimal interactions. Different kinematics of dilepton pairs (mass and transverse momentum ranges) can selectively probe the properties of...

Dr E. C. Aschenauer (BNL)13/07/2021, 12:30
Abstract:Understanding the properties of nuclear matter and its emergence through the underlying partonic structure and dynamics of quarks and gluons requires a new experimental facility in hadronic physics known as the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The EIC will address some of the most profound questions concerning the emergence of nuclear properties by precisely imaging gluons and quarks...

Abstract: In the lecture, I will outline the basic assumptions of cosmology. We'll derive the Friedman equation in the Newtonian approximation and discuss its standard solutions as well as complications arising from general relativity. Then we will discuss some observational milestones the support the standard cosmological model.

Angelo Di Canto (BNL)20/07/2021, 12:00
Abstract: This lecture will give a brief overview heavy-flavor physics, i.e., the study of weakly decaying b and c quarks. It will discuss why heavy flavors are an excellent laboratory for new physics searches, what is the current experimental status, focusing the attention on recent measurements (“b anomalies”) that form coherent set of deviations from the standard model and could represent a...

Abstract: If you have ever wondered what radio astronomy is, this lecture will attempt to demystify the topic. What is radio astronomy? Is it about listening to or watching the sky? Why is the universe transmitting radio waves anyway? This talk will explain techniques for doing radio astronomy and provide insights into the nature of light and radio. As well, Brookhaven's role in the exciting...

Abstract: Time projection chambers, which take 3D pictures of elementary particles as they interact with matter, have been used in experimental particle physics since the 1970s. Measuring how neutrinos, which are very light, very weakly interacting particles, interact with matter can help solve some key mysteries of physics, such as why the universe is matter instead of anti-matter. Huge time...

Abstract: Big physics experiments, like the Electron Ion Collider, DUNE and the Large Hadron Collider experiments at CERN, present many technical challenges, one of which is computing. This talk will use the ATLAS experiment at the LHC as an example to explain why computing is so important in our physics experiments, and how we use computing resources around the world to get from the raw...

Abstract: Linear algebra has been widely used in physics analysis of experiments. In this talk, I am going to review some of its recent usage in detector signal processing, noise filtering, event reconstruction, and data unfolding. In particular, its connections to various numerical and analytical techniques including the Fast Fourier Transformation, the Compressed Sensing, and the biconjugate...

the standard Big Bang model of an expanding universe.
We discuss the connection between expansion dynamics
and different types of matter and energy densities, and
focus on the evidence for the accelerated expansion of
our Universe driven by dark energy. Different schools of
observation and measurement will be mentioned and...
