study of the Hubbard model, a 2-d model system for antiferromagnetism and pseudogap behavior, using an artificially created lattice of cold atoms.
how do you get the information of electron densities and correlations out? Use an analog of ARPES in X-ray scattering
Peter Brown, Elmer Guardado-Sanchez,Benjamin Spar,
Edwin Huang,Thomas P. Devereaux, and Waseem Bakr
HED:
use of high-power lasers interacting with plasma as a source of accelerated electron beams
exploring the detailed MHD of cosmic ray acceleration
Eduardo Alves, Jonathan Zrake, and Frederico Fiuza
simulation of the kink instability in a jet emerging from an active galactic nucleus
HEP:
new models of cosmic dark matter, and production of dark matter particles in the laboratory
exploring the center of a supernova using the neutrino signal
prediction of the rates of complex processes observed at the Large Hadron Collider
could dark matter arise from a parallel strong interaction theory whose particles could weakly to our through a “dark photon”?
Asher Berlin,
Nikita Blinov,
Stefania Gori,
Philip Schuster,
and Natalia Toro
neutrino mass implies that, as neutrinos stream out of a supernova, they can change flavor.
What do we observe as the neutrino burst passes the earth?
Payel Mukhopadhyay and Alex Friedland
to compute the rates of quark and lepton reactions at the LHC, ordinary methods of Feynman diagram calculation are not sufficient.
need to invent new methods: “unitarity”, “bootstrap”, new special functions, “cosmic Galois group”
Simon Caron-Huot, Lance Dixon, Falko Dulat,
Matt von Hippel, Andrew McLeod and Georgios Papathanasiou
We are thinking about many fascinating questions and pushing the boundaries in many directions.
