Talk Title: Exploring quark-gluon plasma temperatures using thermal photon and dilepton production

Abstract:

Thermal electromagnetic radiation is emitted all throughout the space-time evolution of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), which we are able to create in heavy-ion collisions at CERN. The production rate of this radiation depends on the QGP temperature, which is a key parameter to understand the dynamics of the system. So far there is no high precision measurement of the QGP temperature at LHC energies.

Introduction to AI/ML on HPC clusters

Introduction to AI/ML on HPC Clusters
Thursday, May 8th, 9.30am-11.30am

This seminar provides a practical introduction to applying artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques on Yale’s high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. Designed for beginners who are familiar with HPC or have taken/watched Intro-to-HPC, this session walks participants through setting up and running machine learning, neural networks, and large language models (LLMs) on the YCRC clusters.

This in person only session will be hosted at 17 Hillhouse Avenue, Room 101 (TEAL)

WL Summer Student Program Tour of Wright Lab

This tour is open to students in the Wright Lab Summer Student Program and new members of the Wright Lab and Yale Physics communities. Meet at the front entrance for a ~1 hour overview tour of the lab facilities and research program.

Mid-summer pizza lunch with the Wright Lab community

All members of the Wright Lab community and Wright Lab summer program participants and their mentors are invited to a mid-summer pizza lunch.

International Festival of Arts & Ideas - YQI Documentary screening + conversation about art and technology

Introduction to the Advanced Prototyping Center (Workshop)

In this workshop we will cover the equipment available at the Wright Lab Advanced Prototyping Center and how to get started designing parts. Basics of CNC laser and abrasive water jet cutting will be included, as well as an introduction to 3D printing. No prior experience is required, but having an idea for a project that you may want to get started on would be great. We will start off with a classroom presentation and then have a quick tour of the facilities.

EHS Orientation for WL shops

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.
