NPA Seminar, Steven Prohira, Ohio State University, "Toward Detection of UHE Neutrinos with the Radar Echo Telescope"

Detection of ultra-high-energy (UHE) neutrinos is the key to understanding the most energetic processes in the universe, namely, the sources of UHE cosmic rays which have been detected at earth with energies exceeding 1 Joule per nucleon. As UHE cosmic messengers, neutrinos are unparalleled for their ability to travel from source to Earth. Unfortunately, however, they are very difficult to detect, owing to their low flux and small interaction cross section.

NPA Seminar, Christian Wittweg, University of Zurich, "Recent Results and Status of the XENON Dark Matter Project"

The XENON Dark Matter Project uses xenon dual-phase time projection chambers for direct Dark Matter detection. With steadily growing target masses the XENON detectors set world-leading limits on WIMP-nucleon interactions over a broad mass range – most recently with XENON1T. Its unprecedentedly low backgrounds coupled with the tonne-year exposure also enabled searches for rare nuclear processes, the coherent elastic scattering of solar neutrinos and alternative Dark Matter candidates.

CANCELLED Introduction to Scientific Computing at Wright Lab

Introduction to Scientific Computing at Wright Lab, led by Thomas Langford, will cover:
In-house computing resources
YCRC HPC systems: how-to and why-to
Examples of common work-flows at Wright Lab
Support available at Wright Lab and YCRC
Register here: https://tinyurl.com/wlab-intro-computing
In-person attendance will be capped at 20 people on a first-come, first-served basis, according to the current Yale policies.

WIDG Seminar, Hannah Bossi, Yale University, "Radius-dependent Measurements of Jet Suppression in Heavy-ion Collisions with ALICE"

At sufficiently high temperatures, QCD matter becomes a hot and dense deconfined medium known as the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The QGP medium can be experimentally recreated through the collisions of relativistic heavy-ions at facilities such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The QGP can be studied with hard probes, which study the result of interactions of hard scattered partons with the QGP. These hard scattered partons fragment and hadronize to form a spray of particles called a jet.

Wright Lab All Hands Meeting: "Wright Lab Resources and Academic Year Kickoff"

We invite all members of our community, especially new members, to kick off the academic year. The program includes introductions of Wright Lab technical and administrative staff, an overview of program activities for the Fall, a safety briefing for the community, and brief presentations about the facility’s resources.
The Wright Lab community is invited to a weekly meeting on Mondays at 9:30 a.m to hear about and discuss what is going on at the lab.

Wright Lab Undergraduate Summer Research Symposium 2021

Please join us for Wright Lab’s 2021 Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium to hear what our undergraduate researchers have been doing this summer.
This event is planned to be held in a hybrid mode (both in-person in WL-216 and on Zoom), according to University policies.
A full agenda is TBA, but our summer researchers include:
Jian Chen (Helen Caines)
Sarah Dickson (Dave Moore)
Marvin Durogene (Keith Baker)
Sophia Getz (Reina Maruyama)
Annie Giman (Reina Maruyama)
Robert Howard (Charlie Baltay)

EHS Orientation for Wright Lab Research Shop Users - Summer 2021

Wright Lab will host 1-hour Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Shop Orientations all 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
