"Initial performance of the CUORE-0 experiment"
Presented by Kyungeun Lim, Yale University
2 pm, Physics, Building 510, Room 2-95
Thursday, March 13, 2014, 2:00 pm
Hosted by: Elizabeth Worcester
CUORE-0 is a cryogenic detector at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy that uses an array of tellurium dioxide bolometers to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay of 130Te. I will present the first analysis of data collected since March 2013 and will report on the performance, energy resolution, and backgrounds of the experiment. Based on the measurements in the region of interest, the CUORE-0 half-life sensitivity is expected to surpass the observed lower bound of Cuoricino, a predecessor experiment, with one year of live time. CUORE-0 also serves as a technical prototype of CUORE, which will consist of 19 towers identical to the single CUORE-0 tower. The successful commissioning of CUORE-0 represents a major milestone towards CUORE, which is currently under construction and scheduled to begin data taking in 2015.

"Non Evaporable Getter (NEG) Technologies in UHV-XHV vacuum systems: sorption mechanisms, experimental data and examples"
Presented by Enrico Maccallini, SAES Getters S.p.A., Italy
2:30 pm, Large Conference Room, Bldg. 535
Thursday, March 13, 2014, 2:30 pm
Since 70's, Non Evaporable Getter (NEG) pumps have been adopted by R&D labs, research centres, the industry and in large physics projects (i.e., accelerators, synchrotrons, fusion reactors...). NEG pumps are very compact, light and vibration-free. They require minimal power and present reduced magnetic interference. Their large pumping speed for hydrogen, the main residual gas in UHV-XHV systems, and also all active gases, makes NEG pumps the ideal choice to get and maintain low pressure conditions in a variety of applications. The basic chemical and physical principle of operation of getter pumps, as well as their main practical features, will be presented with a special focus on their typical applications in accelerators, portable systems, surface science and other laboratory equipment.

"Omic-Methods to Divine Gene Function"
Presented by Ian Blaby, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California, Los Angeles
11 am, John Dunn Seminar Room, Bldg. 463
Monday, March 17, 2014, 11:00 am
Hosted by: David Schlyer
Determination of gene function remains the primary biological goal in the post-genomic era. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a JGI flagship organism, is a premier reference for studies in fundamental processes, such as photosynthesis, cilia biogenesis, micronutrient homeostasis and value-added commodities. Yet only ~10% of predicted genes are associated with an experimentally validated functional annotation. Fortunately, significant advances in the depth, throughput and reduced cost of sequencing technologies are opening new avenues for probing gene function and assigning annotations. Recently, we have employed timecourse RNA-Seq approaches to investigate the molecular basis enabling a nitrogen-deprived starch-null mutant to accumulate more triacylglycerol (TAG) than starch-plus strains. Our transcriptomes were supported with selected in vitro biochemical assays, targeted metabolite studies and whole genome sequencing, and have provided novel insights to TAG production. More recent investigations have included: i) employment of gene co-expression analyses to predict protein localizations in a day/night cycling culture analyzed by high temporal-resolution transcriptomes, and ii) development of systems required for high-throughput, automated, phenotyping in conjunction with genome sequencing in a genome wide mutant collection we have constructed.

"Metallomics: A Whole-Genome Approach to the Study of Intracellular Metal Trafficking"
Presented by Crysten Blaby-Haas, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California, Los Angeles
11 am, John Dunn Seminar Room, Bldg. 463
Tuesday, March 18, 2014, 11:00 am
Hosted by: David Schlyer
All organisms are dependent upon the availability of transition metals, which either participate directly in catalysis or serve structural roles in proteins. Because of the nutrient-toxin dichotomy, the cell tightly regulates uptake, distribution and storage of these trace elements. Numerous pathways have evolved to ensure that the right metal, at the correct concentration, makes its way to a specific protein. When faced with a suboptimal trace element concentration, metallo-enzyme activity is negatively impacted by lack of cofactor, which is exacerbated by potential binding of the wrong cofactor. Using transcriptome sequencing of a unicellular green alga under various metal-deficiency situations, we are revealing strategies that widen the window of metal concentrations in which a plant can survive. These strategies include sparing and salvaging of the limiting nutrient, sequestration of non-limiting metals, and cross-talk between metal-responsive transcription factors.

""Topological Materials at the Nanoscale""
Presented by Jennifer Hoffman, Harvard University
3:30 pm, Large Seminar Room, Bldg. 510
Tuesday, March 18, 2014, 3:30 pm
Hosted by: John Tranquada
Once or twice per decade, the discovery of a new class of electronic materials takes the world by storm, generating thousands of scientific publications per year, and broad hopes for practical applications. In this category are the so-called "topological materials" â€" typically bulk insulators hosting topologically protected metallic surface states whose strongly coupled spin and momentum degrees of freedom have prompted numerous proposals for nanoscale devices. After an introduction to topological materials, I will describe efforts in my laboratory to measure their properties via low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. In the topological semimetal antimony (Sb), we study the effects of single-atom defects, we quantify parameters relevant to spintronics applications, and we establish new techniques for nanoscale band structure measurements. We further apply these techniques to SmB6, whose anomalous electronic properties have remained mysterious for almost 50 years, but may finally be explained as arising from a topological Kondo insulator phase.

Computational Science Center Seminar
"From Metadynamics to Dynamics"
Presented by Prof. Michele Parrinello, Dept. of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences, ETH Zurich & Universita della Svizzera Italiana Lugano,, Switzerland
10:45 am, Bldg. 735, 2nd floor seminar room
Wednesday, March 19, 2014, 10:45 am
Hosted by: Robert Harrison
Metadynamics is a commonly used and successful enhanced sampling method in atomistic simulations, with applications that range from nanotechnology to biophysics, By the introduction of a history dependent bias which depends on a restricted number of collective variables it can explore complex free energy surfaces characterized by several metastable states separated by large free energy barriers. Here we extend its scope by introducing a simple yet powerful method for calculating the rates of transition between different metastable states. The method does not rely on a previous knowledge of the transition states or reaction coordinates, as long as collective variables are known that can distinguish between the various stable minima in free energy space. A statistical analysis of the distribution of transition times allows us to verify a posteriori the accuracy of our calculations. We apply our method to a number of examples of increasing complexity. We find excellent agreement between our calculations and the results of long unbiased molecular dynamics simulations whenever the latter are feasible. We will show applications to the average escape time of a ligand from a protein, which is an important parameter in a drug design strategy and to the calculation of homogeneous nucleation rates.

"Precision measures of the primordial deuterium abundance"
Presented by Ryan Cooke, UC Santa Cruz
3 pm, Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510
Thursday, March 20, 2014, 3:00 pm
Hosted by: Anze Slosar
We are currently in an exciting era of precision cosmology. With the release of the cosmic microwave background data recorded by the Planck satellite, we are now in a position to accurately test the standard model of cosmology and particle physics. In this talk, I will present two new, precise measures of the primordial abundance of deuterium - the most accurate measurements to date - derived from redshift ~3 metal-poor damped Lyman-alpha systems. In light of these new measurements, we have performed a careful reanalysis of the best literature systems where the primordial deuterium abundance can be estimated. These precise measures, when analyzed in conjunction with the Planck data, now place strong limits on the effective number of neutrino species in the early Universe, and offers new insight into physics beyond the standard model. I will also discuss our ongoing survey to obtain new precision measures of the primordial deuterium abundance.

"A tabletop-scale probe for TeV physics: the electric dipole moment of the electron"
Presented by David DeMille, Yale University
3:30 pm, Large Seminar Room, Bldg. 510
Tuesday, March 25, 2014, 3:30 pm
Hosted by: Peter Petreczky
Time-reversal (T) symmetry is observed to be broken in K- and B-meson systems, in a manner consistent with the Standard Model (SM) of electroweak interactions. Violation of T-invariance makes it possible for elementary particles such as the electron to have an electric dipole moment (EDM) along their spin axis. Although the SM prediction for the electron EDM is too small to detect, extensions to the SM frequently predict EDMs within a few orders of magnitude of the current limit. I will describe the ACME experiment, which uses methods of atomic and molecular physics to detect the electron's EDM. We recently completed the most sensitive search for this quantity, finding a result consistent with zero but setting a limit an order of magnitude smaller than previous work. Remarkably, the result of this tabletop-scale experiment sets strong constraints on the existence of T-violating phenomena well above the TeV scale being probed at the Large Hadron Collider, and has a substantial impact on theories of physics beyond the Standard Model.

"QUANTUM-CLASSICAL SCIENCE FOR THE PLASMA-MATERIAL INTERFACE"
Presented by Predrag Krstic, Institute for Advanced Computational Science
11 am, Bldg. 463B, John Dunn Seminar Room 157
Tuesday, April 1, 2014, 11:00 am
Hosted by: Robert Harrison
Plasma-Material Interface (PMI) mixes materials of the two worlds, creating a dynamical surface which is one of the most challenging areas of multidisciplinary science, with many fundamental processes and synergies. We present the experimentally validated atomistic theory and computation for studying the dynamics of the creation and evolution of the PMI under irradiation by atoms and molecules at carbon, lithiated carbon and tungsten, as well as the emerging elastic and inelastic processes, in particular retention and sputtering chemistry. Recent work with lithium coatings deposited on a variety of metallic and graphitic surfaces, in a number of tokamak fusion machines around the world, has provided evidence of the sensitive dependence plasma behavior has on these ultra-thin deposited films. Our computer simulations, done in collaboration with Japanese and French scientists, and validated by in-situ experiments at Purdue University and at NSTX of PPPL have elucidated roles of lithium in carbon walls to the recycling of the plasma hydrogen. We performed quantum-classical atomistic calculations on many thousands of random trajectories to clarify the interplay of lithium and oxygen in amorphous carbon. We show that the presence of oxygen in the surface plays the key role in the increased uptake chemistry and suppression of erosion, while lithium has a decisive role in achieving high concentrations of oxygen in the upper layers of the surface upon bombardment by deuterium. D atoms preferentially bind with O and C-O when there is a comparable amount of oxygen to Li at surface. This finding explains a number of previously puzzling laboratory and reactor-based experimental results obtained over the last decade, having ramifications that go well beyond fusion.

Presented by Scott Pratt, Michigan State University

Tuesday, April 1, 2014, 11:00 am
Hosted by: Hui Wang
RHIC science has entered an era where the goal is to make quantitative statements about the evolution and properties of the super-hadronic matter created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Given the heterogenous nature of the RHIC and LHC heavy-ion data sets, the significant uncertainties to the theoretical models, and the complex intertwined dependencies between model parameters and observables, stating conclusions with meaningful uncertainties represents a major challenge. I will present results from the MADAI collaboration, where we have constructed a statistical infrastructure for addressing exactly such problems and applied it to a subset of soft observables from 100A GeV + 100A GeV Au + Au collisions. The results from this pilot project are promising and the techniques should be extendable to larger data sets and to more flexible models with greater numbers of parameters.

We all know that High Energy Physics research in the U.S. is funded almost entirely by the federal government. Our field competes for federal dollars with colleagues as close as Nuclear Physics, and as far removed as the National Park Service or School Lunch Program. Just how does our budget get put together, and by whom? What do we do, specifically as a User community, to advocate for our research program to the people who make the funding decisions for our field? Do we have any real, positive effect? And finally, how are the answers to these questions impacted by the current P5 process?

"The proton-neutron interaction and the emergence of collectivity in the structure of atomic nuclei"
Presented by Richard F. Casten, Yale University
3:30 pm, Large Seminar Room, Bldg. 510
Tuesday, April 15, 2014, 3:30 pm
Hosted by: Peter Petreczky
Despite the complexities of the nucleonic interactions in atomic nuclei, nuclei display remarkably simple patterns, and regularities as a function of neutron and proton number. Many of these patterns are associated with the emergence of collective behavior. Such behavior is largely the result of a competition between pairing interactions between like nucleons and proton-neutron (p-n) interactions. The Colloquium will survey the empirical behavior of nuclei and present ways to experimentally extract the strength of p-n interactions. The pivotal role of the latter in determining the former will then be discussed in terms of the correlations of p-n interaction strengths with the onset of collectivity and a newly recognized parallelism in the filling of proton and neutron orbits.

Presented by Adam Burrows, Princeton University

Hosted by: Peter Petreczky
"Core-collapse supernovae have challenged theorists and computational science for half a century. Such explosions are the source of many of the heavy elements in the Universe and the birthplace of neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes. However, determining the mechanism of explosion remains the key goal of theory. Though the synergistic operation of turbulence and neutrino heating seems implicated, and multi-dimensional simulations with some physical fidelity that have provided insight, we have yet to reproduce the phenomenon theoretically. In this talk, I will review the goals of supernova theory, the state of the field, and the contending explosion models. In the process, I will highlight the computational astrophysics that has been applied to date, and that may be necessary in the future to credibly unravel this mystery."

Presented by Philip Kim, Columbia University
3:30 pm, Large Seminar Room, Bldg. 510
Tuesday, May 13, 2014, 3:30 pm
Hosted by: John Tranquada
The recent advent of atomically thin 2-dimensional materials such as graphene, hexa boronitride, layered transition metal chalcogenide and many strongly correlated materials, where weak van der Waals (vdW) force holds the layers together, has provide a new opportunity of studying novel quantum phenomena in low dimensional systems. The vdW layered materials consist of covalently bonded atomic layers entities that weakly interact with other constituents. With a strong built-in anisotropy in their components, vdW materials often show a quasi-low dimensionality leading to strongly correlated electron behaviors. These materials in 2-d limits also allow us to apply new experimental techniques such as electrolyte gating, scanning potentiometry, and electromechanical magnetometry. Moreover, combination of different layered constituents may produce heterogeneous and functional materials. In this talk, we will discuss to develop the method of transferring two-dimensional atomic layers of van der Waals solids to build functional heterostacks. Novel electron transport and optoelectronic phenomena can occur across these hetero-interfaces of atomicallycontrolled quantum heterostructures.

"A metallic glass that grows from the melt like a crystal"
Presented by Gabrielle Long, ANL, United States Minor Outlying Islands
2 pm, Bldg. 743 Rm 177
Friday, May 30, 2014, 2:00 pm
Hosted by: Wah-Keat Lee
Canceled Seminar scheduled for 2/13/14 due to snow and will be rescheduled. Exact date is unknown but selected 3/27/14 as an estimated dated (posted by em 2/12/14). When a molten material is cooled, it typically grows into orderly crystals. But if the cooling rate is too fast for the entire melt to crystallize, the remaining material ends up in a non-crystalline state known as a glass. This talk is about the discovery and characterization of a unique metallic glass that, during rapid cooling, forms a solid by means of nucleation followed by growth normal to a moving interface between the solid and melt, with partitioning of the chemical elements. We were able to show experimentally that this is not a polycrystalline composite with nanometer-sized grains, and conclude that this may be a new kind of structure: an atomically ordered, isotropic, non-crystalline solid, possessing no long-range translational symmetry. This novel structure��"isotropic with infinite rotational symmetry and no translational symmetry��"had been considered theoretically possible, but has never before been observed.
