Talk Title: “The Electron-Ion Collider as a Potential Pentaquark Factory”
Abstract: The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is a groundbreaking facility designed to probe the subatomic world, particularly the structure of nuclear matter and nucleons. This talk highlights the EIC’s potential as a powerful pentaquark factory, offering opportunities not only to measure pentaquarks but to precisely characterize their properties. With its high energy and exceptional spin polarization capabilities, the EIC will open a new chapter in exotic hadron research.

Date: Friday, December 6th
Time: 3-4:30 pm
Location: GM Room, Horchow Hall, 55 Hillhouse Ave
Speaker: Senior Vice President and Chief Scientist at X-energy, Dr. Eben Mulder

In addition to being the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne and the only person ever to have won Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry, Marie Curie welcomed other women into her lab. It was her lab from the untimely death of her husband, Pierre, in 1906, till her own death in 1934. She ran it, enlarged it, moved it into the imposing new Radium Institute, and peopled it with an international assembly of scientists, more than forty of whom were women, including her daughter Irène, the second woman to win a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
