Events on Tuesday, November 18th, 2014
- Special Seminar Announcement
- Advances and Future Directions of 3D Equilibrium Reconstruction: Opportunities for MST
- Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
- Place: 5280 Chamberlin Hall
- Speaker: Dr. Mark Ciancosa, Auburn Univerity
- Host: Plasma
- Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar
- Frac sand and related natural resources in Wisconsin
- Time: 12:05 pm - 1:00 pm
- Place: 4274 Chamberlin Hall (Refreshments will be served)
- Speaker: Jay Zambito, UW Department of Geoscience
- Abstract: Wisconsin has some of the best frac sand in the world, and since 2011 the state has seen a large increase in frac sand mines, processing plants, and rail loading facilities. This talk will provide information on what frac sand is, how it is used, why it is being mined in Wisconsin, and its connection to other natural resources.
- Host: Clint Sprott
- Theory Seminar (High Energy/Cosmology)
- New physics in Higgs kinematic distributions
- Time: 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
- Place: 5280 Chamberlin Hall
- Speaker: Adam Martin, University of Notre Dame
- Abstract: In this talk I discuss how Higgs distributions, rather than rates alone, can uncover physics beyond the Standard Model. As examples, I explore Higgs plus jet production and Higgses produced in association with bottom or top quarks
