NPA Seminar: Michael Wilensky, University of Manchester, "Addressing the Challenges in 21-cm Cosmology using Bayesian Inference and other Data Analysis Techniques"

Detailed measurements of 21-cm emission from neutral Hydrogen during the Epoch of Reionization will eventually enable us to tomographically map this relatively unconstrained cosmic era. Furthermore, post-reionization measurements offer an independent probe of the baryon acoustic oscillation scale, ultimately constraining the dark energy equation of state. A measurement of the 21-cm power spectrum using radio interferometers is a critical scientific target for understanding both of these eras.

Introduction to HPC - hands-on workshop

This workshop is designed to introduce new users to the HPC resources available at Yale and to provide a comprehensive overview of the basic concepts needed to perform computing on the clusters.
The workshop will consist of a presentation and practical exercises spanning approximately two hours, followed by open OFFICE HOURS with the YCRC Research Support Team who will be available for questions, demonstrations, and troubleshooting. Practice scripts in python, R, and MATLAB will be available for learners to practice applying their new skills.

NPA Seminar: Yacine Mehtar Tani, Brookhaven National Laboratory, “Exploring the proton structure: from partons to strong gauge fields”

At short distances, the proton consists of weakly interacting point-like quarks and gluons, aka partons. At high energy this picture of the proton is expected to break down before confining forces take over when soft enough gluons, that are abundantly present inside the proton, interact in a non-linear fashion. This regime of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is known as the saturation regime and is best described by strong classical gauge fields.

Elusives Journal Club, Molly Watts, Yale, "Applying Superfluid Helium to Light Dark Matter Searches: Demonstration of the HeRALD Detector Concept"

Molly Watts will lead a discussion on “Applying Superfluid Helium to Light Dark Matter Searches: Demonstration of the HeRALD Detector Concept” found at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.11877v1.pdf

Members in the departments of physics and astronomy who work on dark matter and neutrino-related fields are invited to get together to discuss papers related to their field. Topics include: neutrinos, dark matter, BSM physics, fundamental symmetries, precision physics and more.

Elusives Journal Club, Emily Pottebaum, Yale, "Ocean Science with the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment"

Emily Pottebaum will lead a discussion on the paper “Ocean Science with the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment” found at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2209.14710.pdf, with the goal of discussing both P-ONE and more generally the opportunities detector experiments have for interdisciplinary research and collaboration.
