National Synchrotron Light Source Seminar
"From Cuprates to Iron Arsenides: an ARPES perspective."
Volodymyr Zabolotnyy
10 am, Conference Room A/B, Bldg. 490
Thursday, May 2, 2013, 10:00 am
Hosted by: Elio Vescovo
The presentation will focus both on scientific and technical aspects of modern angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). In the firs part I will provide a brief introduction into ARPES, explaining why it has evolved into an indispensable experimental technique, when a basic band structure and/or many-body effects of a new material has to be studied. As an illustration several particular studies will be provided, focused on: (1) renormalization effects in hole doped Bi-122; (2) superconductivity and renormalization in YBa2Cu3O7'δ; (3) origin of pseudogap in electron doped Pr2'xCexCuO4; (4) stripe phase in La1.8'1/8Eu0.2Sr1/8CuO4 ; and finally (5) peculiarities of electronic structure of Ba1-xKxFe2As2 and LiFeAs. The second part of my presentations will cover certain aspects of 13 ARPES end-station development at BESSY and argumentation for introduction micrometer (or better) lateral resolution in angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.

"The challenges of beamline construction at a new facility"
Dr. Julian Adams
11 am, Large Conferrence Room, Building 703
Thursday, May 2, 2013, 11:00 am
Hosted by: Aesook Byon
The design, construction, integration and commissioning of the current generation of highly automated; remotely operated beamlines holds many challenges. All the aspects of hardware and software integration must be of the highest specification and quality to achieve stable user operations with low levels of intervention from operations staff with high reliability. I will describe the many successes and few less successful aspects of the management and implementation of the two MX beamlines at the Australian Synchrotron from 2005 till 2009. I will then touch on advances in the newest generation of beamline diagnostics and detectors

RIKEN/BNL Lunch Time Talk
"The study of decoupling of the mirror fermions via an anomaly free model"
Presented by Chen Chen, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
12:30 pm, Bldg. 510 / Room 2-160
Thursday, May 2, 2013, 12:30 pm
Hosted by: Tomomi Ishikawa
An approach to the formulation of chiral gauge theories on the lattice is to start with a vector- like theory, but decouple one chirality (the "mirror" fermions) using strong Yukawa interactions with a chirally coupled "Higgs" field. While this is an attractive idea, its viability needs to be tested with nonperturbative studies. The model that we studied here, the so- called "3-4-5" model, is anomaly free and the presence of massless states in the mirror sector is not required by anomaly matching arguments, in contrast to the "1-0" model that was studied previously. I will talk about the results we got from the study of the "3-4-5" model, which does not suggest the decoupling of the mirror fermions and therefore no emergence of the chiral gauge theory.

Nuclear Physics Seminar
"New insights on the "Ridge" in pp and pA at the LHC"
Presented by Wei Li, Rice University
11 am, Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510
Tuesday, May 14, 2013, 11:00 am
Hosted by: Anne Sickles
The observation of a long-range, near-side two-particle angular correlation in very high multiplicity proton-proton (pp) and proton-lead (pA) collisions at the LHC has changed our view of multiparticle production in these small systems. This phenomenon, known as the "Ridge", was first seen in high energy nucleus-nucleus (AA) collisions at RHIC, and is believed to be related to the collective evolution of a strongly interacting QCD matter created in AA. In this talk, I will first briefly review the history of ridge studies in AA and unexpected discovery of the ridge correlations in pp and pA systems. Focus will then be given to the most recent results of pA collisions at CMS from 2013 LHC run on two- and multi-particle correlations. I will discuss the new insights these results provide us toward disentangling different theoretical interpretations (i.e. CGC v.s. flow) to the physical origin of the ridge phenomenon in small systems of pp and pA.

"Hadron electric polarizability from lattice QCD"
Presented by Andrei Alexandru, The George Washington University
2 pm, Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510
Friday, May 24, 2013, 2:00 pm
Hosted by: Vladimir Skokov
Electric polarizability measures the ability of the electric field to deform a particle. Experimentally, the electric and magnetic polarizabilities can be measured in Compton scattering experiments. To compute these quantities theoretically we need to understand the internal structure of the scatterer. For hadrons — bound stated of quarks and gluons — this is a very difficult problem since their internal structure cannot be parametrized easily. While quantum chromodynamics describes accurately the interactions between quarks and gluons, direct computations of hadron properties in terms of the quark degrees of freedom are very challenging. In this talk I will show how to use lattice QCD to extract the electric polarizability of hadrons, outlining both the theoretical and computational challenges we must overcome to arrive at the final answer.

"MiniBooNE Neutrino Oscillation Results"
Presented by William Louis, LANL
3 pm, Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510
Thursday, May 30, 2013, 3:00 pm
Hosted by: David Jaffe
The MiniBooNE experiment was designed to test the LSND evidence for neutrino oscillations. After taking data for a decade in both neutrino and antineutrino modes, MiniBooNE observes a 3.8 sigma excess of events that is consistent with neutrino oscillations at the ~1 eV2 scale and with the LSND oscillation signal. The MiniBooNE results will be described, as well as 3+N sterile neutrino models that can explain the existing short-baseline neutrino anomalies. Future short-baseline neutrino experiments, which can prove whether sterile neutrinos exist, will also be discussed.

"From the QCD flux tube to the integrable theory of quantum gravity and back"
Presented by Sergei Dubovski, NYU, Physics Department
2 pm, Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510
Friday, June 14, 2013, 2:00 pm
Hosted by: Vladimir Skokov
We propose a new approach for the calculation of the spectrum of excitations of QCD flux tubes. It relies on the fact that the worldsheet theory is integrable at low energies. The corresponding integrable model features a number of surprising properties characteristic for gravity rather than for conventional field theory. These include the absence of local off-shell observables, a minimal length, a maximum achievable (Hagedorn) temperature, as well as black hole precursors. It exhibits a new type of renormalization group flow behavior, "asymptotic fragility". With this approach, energy levels can be calculated for much shorter flux tubes than was previously possible, allowing for a quantitative comparison with existing lattice data. The improved theoretical control makes it manifest that existing lattice data provides strong evidence for a new pseudoscalar particle localized on the QCD fluxtube - the worldsheet axion.
