Physics Seminar by Dr. Daniel Burdette, Thursday (3/6) at 11 am – VDW104

Title: Beta-Delayed Neutron Spectroscopy of Fission Fragments with BEARtrap at Argonne National Laboratory Abstract: Beta-delayed neutron emission properties are important to both basic science and applications-driven nuclear physics research. Branching ratios for these decays of neutron-rich nuclei play a role in r-process nucleosynthesis calculations as they are needed to determine final abundance patterns. The energy …

Physics Seminar by Dr. Jason Park Tuesday (3/4) at 11 am – VDW104

Title: Probing tiny jigsaw puzzles of natureAbstract: The atomic nucleus consists of protons and neutrons, which are bound by the strong force. From only these two types of hadrons, thousands of unique isotopes are known to exist and exhibit both systematic and exceptional features. Their study is important not only for a better understanding of one of …

Physics Seminar by Dr. Nutifafa Y. Doumon, Thursday (11/21) at 11 am – VDW104

Title: The Energy of Collaborations: Beyond Novel Semiconductor Materials Inks and Devices for Solar Energy Harvesting Energy is core to human activity and development. Solar energy from traditionally established technologies, such as Si photovoltaics (PV), has played a crucial role in the energy mix for decades: they are resilient and offer about 25 years of …
