The Wright Lab community is invited to a weekly meeting on Mondays at 9:30 a.m. on Zoom to hear about and discuss what is going on at the lab.
STEM fields tend to lack diversity, with minorities (women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals) facing challenges and typically leaving these fields at higher rates than majority groups. In the geosciences, racial diversity has not increased in the past forty years. The less diverse a field, the greater the reliance on stereotypes and implicit biases, which in turn disproportionately impacts marginalized groups.
DEAP-3600 is a liquid argon (LAr) based spin-independent direct dark matter search experiment. It is designed to detect nuclear recoils induced by the elastic scattering of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) on argon nuclei. Last year, DEAP-3600 reported its second physics result that included the best reported upper limit on the WIMP-nucleon spin-independent cross section on a LAr target of 3.9×10^−45 cm^2 for a 100 GeV/c^2 WIMP mass at 90% C.

A system whose time evolution is linear, i.e. dx/dt= -iH.x, shows non-trivial topological structures and dynamics when the effective Hamiltonian H is allowed to be any complex matrix, which includes all Hermitian and non-Hermitian matrices. Previous works have investigated a system of two optomechanically coupled oscillators, described by a non-Hermitian 2x2 effective Hamiltonian H parametrized by two independent control parameters.
High-pt theory and data are traditionally used to explore high-pt parton interactions with QGP, while QGP bulk properties are explored through low-pt data and corresponding models. However, with a proper description of high-pt parton-medium interactions, rare high-pt light and heavy flavor can also be a powerful tool for inferring bulk QGP properties, as they are sensitive to global QGP parameters.

We will go through creating personal/academic and project-based websites. This is a great way to showcase your research portfolio when applying for postdocs or external positions.
This will be a hands-on session, so please:
Create a free GitHub account (https://education.github.com)
Bring some content that you would like to put on your website
In this workshop we will cover how to get started designing parts for your projects that can be made simply and quickly with a CNC cutter or 3D printer. No prior experience is required, but having an idea for a project that you may want to get started on would be great.
The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino experiment probes the absolute neutrinomass scale via the β-decay kinematics of molecular tritium. With a sensitivity goal of 0.2 eV/c² at 90% CL, it provides model-independent input to both particle theory and cosmology. The source is highly pure, cryogenic T₂ gas. The electrons resulting from β-decay are guided along magnetic field lines toward a high-resolution, integrating spectrometer for
The Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), a phase of matter characterised by the deconfinement of its constituent quarks and gluons (partons), exists only at extremely high energy densities, such as those produced immediately after the Big Bang. By colliding heavy ions at high energies, we are able to reproduce the extreme conditions necessary for QGP formation, providing an excellent testing ground for studying the properties of high temperature QCD.
