Departmental Colloquium
Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2019 – Mohammadi
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Abdollah Mohammadi (Kansas State) Title: LHC and the quest of understanding the Universe Abstract: Almost a decade has passed since the first proton-proton beam collisions took place at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The discovery of the Standard Model Higgs boson in 2012 represented a thrilling triumph for the particle physics community
Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2019 – Duric
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Senka Duric Title: Electroweak and Higgs physics at the LHC: The present and the future Abstract: Contrary to all expectations, experiments at the LHC did not discover any fundamentally new particles other than the Higgs boson. However, a lot can be learned from precision measurements of Higgs boson properties and the production of vector
Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2019 – Rorie
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Jamal Rorie (Rice) Title: Dark Matter, CMS, and the Search for Physics Beyond the Standard Model Abstract: There is compelling observational evidence for the existence of dark matter, but it is not currently included in the Standard Model of elementary particle and their interactions. The recently observed Higgs boson may interact with dark matter

Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2019 – Pinfold
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Pinfold Title: Dirac's Dream - The Quest for the Magnetic Monopole Abstract: The elusive magnetic monopole is arguably the most important particle that has yet to be discovered. We shall follow the search for the monopole from its Victorian beginnings until today and discuss how we can continue into the future. We shall see
Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Spring 2019 – Werk
Gallalee Hall 227 , United StatesDr. Werk will give a colloquium talk with the title "Why Circumgalactic Matter Matters for Galaxy Evolution".
Graduate student orientation
223 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesDean Townsley, the current graduate director, will review timeline and requirements for graduate degrees.
Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Fall 2019 – Scherrer
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Robert Scherrer (Vanderbilt University) Title: New Directions in Dark Matter Abstract: The nature of dark matter remains one of the enduring mysteries of modern cosmology. While the evidence for dark matter continues to be overwhelming, all searches for dark matter have come up empty so far, and the standard WIMP (weakly-interacting massive particle) paradigm
Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Fall 2019 – Tanner
227 Gallalee Hall 514 University Blvd., Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesDr. Angelle Tanner will give a colloquium presentation about A matter of perspective: Exoplanet discoveries, studies and compilations.
