Wright Lab will host two identical 1-hour Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Shop Orientations on Tuesday, September 15 at 3:00 p.m., and Wednesday, September 23 at 2:00 p.m., both on Zoom. The EHS shop orientation is offered each semester and is required to be taken once by anyone who would like to gain access and make use of the research and teaching shops at Wright Lab.
For more information on the shop facilities at Wright Lab see: https://wlab.yale.edu/facilities

This workshop will cover an introduction to Python and the powerful libraries numpy and matplotlib. In the process, we will cover array manipulation, plotting, histogramming, and efficient file IO. Finally, we pull these tools together to analyze some real-world data collected at WLab.

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. Zoom link: https://yale.zoom.us/j/889785972

This is a virtual seminar.

Direct searches for dark matter which targeted SUSY-motivated areas of parameter space employed well-studied nucleon interactions at keV to MeV energy scales to predict typical DM-nucleon interaction distributions. Much lighter DM, probed by a new generation of experiments sensitive to eV-scale energy deposits, however, rely instead on condensed matter effects to extract larger recoil energies from the DM than would be suggested by the simple elastic kinematics of heavier DM.
