Dark Sector Glueballs at the LHC

Speaker: Austin Batz Date: Monday, November 13, 2023 Time: 4:00 – 5:00 pm Location: 472 Willamette Hall Abstract: Confining dark sectors are motivated by naturalness of the Higgs boson mass and dark matter. In the limit where the dark sector quarks are heavy ...

Long-Range Correlations in Non-Equilibrium Quantum and Classical Fluids

Speaker: Dietrich Belitz Date: Monday, November 6, 2023 Time: 4:00 – 5:00 pm Location: 472 Willamette Hall Abstract: Classical fluids in a non-equilibrium steady state characterized by a constant temperature gradient are ...

The Sound of Dark Matter

Speaker: Simon Knapen Date: Monday, October 30, 2023 Time: 4:00 – 5:00 pm Location: 472 Willamette Hall Abstract: I will explain how we can search for light Dark Matter by detecting small amounts of phonons in specific crystals. To calculate the scattering rates, we ...
