Joint TAMU-LANL Particle Physics Seminar Series

We invite you to join our newly established biweekly seminar series in particle physics seminar series starting July 8th. This seminar series will focus on new and exciting developments in experimental and theoretical particle physics, from all 3 frontiers – Cosmic, Intensity and Energy.

The seminar series is designed to be casual in nature, enabling active discussions. There will be 2 short talks of 20 mins, one from a TAMU researcher and one from a LANL researcher, on a thematic topic. You can subscribe to the mailing list by send an email to hepseminar@tamu.edu.

Scheduled talks include the following. Updates will be made as available.

Date (1 pm CT) Topic TAMU Researcher (20 mins) LANL Researcher (20 mins) Notes
July 8 WIMP Dark Matter Detection and Theory Rupak Mahapatra Bill Louis Talk on SuperCDMS low-mass WIMP search, followed by theoretical talk on heavy WIMps
July 22 Coherent Neutrino Sacttering as a tool for new physics Bhaskar Dutta Richard Van De Water Experimental/Theoretical seminars on MINER and CCM
Aug 5 * Canceled- To be rescheduled Axion searches using reactor photons and radioactive sources James Dent Experimental sensitivity for MINER and GAANDHI experiments
Aug 19 Indirect Searches for Dark Matter Louis Strgari Andrea Albert/Pat Harding Experimental status of space and ground based detectors
Sept 2 Detector simulation for precision new physics Dave Toback Simulation efforts
Sept 16 Latest BSM results from LHC Alexei Safonov/Ricardo Eusebi Current limits and future sensitivity after upgrades, Theory talk on Heavy Dark Matter

INMM Workshop: Policy and Technical Fundamentals of International Nuclear Safeguards

WHEN: Sunday, July 12, 2020 from 2:30pm-5:45pm EST

WHERE: Online in conjunction with the Annual INMM Meeting

WHO & WHAT: This workshop will provide participants with a basic overview of nuclear safeguards, including:

  • the nuclear fuel cycle
  • safeguards treaties and legal issues
  • safeguards approaches
  • safeguards application for nuclear facilities
  • nuclear material control and accounting

The majority of the coursework for the workshop will be completed online with a half-day virtual panel session to be conducted at the Annual Meeting of the INMM. This is an excellent opportunity for students to receive a sound foundation in safeguards and interact with some of the world experts in the field.

ANTICIPATED SPEAKERS: Jill Cooley, Shirley Johnson, Dunbar Lockwood, Therese Renis, Laura Rockwood, and Michael Whitaker

ONLINE MODULES: Participants will complete the following online modules offered by the Center for Nuclear Security Science and Policy Initiatives (NSSPI) at Texas A&M University:

  • Introduction to Nuclear Security and Safeguards
  • The Nuclear Fuel Cycle
  • Introductory Statistics
  • Nuclear Material Accountancy
  • Containment and Surveillance
  • Spent Nuclear Fuel Safeguards
  • Uranium Enrichment Safeguards
  • Applied Statistics for Safeguards

LIVE SESSION: The virtual panel session will consist of speakers giving additional lectures on a number of topics related to international safeguards, with time allotted for a panel discussion and for addressing questions posed by the participants. The speakers are international safeguards experts and professionals with current or recent experience in policy, technical implementation, and/or inspections.

CREDIT: Upon completion of both the online and face-to-face portions of the workshop, participants will be awarded 3 continuing education units from Texas A&M University, along with a professional certificate issued by the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station.

Participants completing the entire program will earn 3 CEUS and a Professional Certificate

For more information, see our flyer.

Registration will be done through the INMM website.

Soft Matter Seminar Series

Interested in still being able to attend a productive seminar this summer? Try the virtual Soft Matter Seminar Series presented by the Texas A&M Material Science and Engineering Department and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Every Monday at 3pm the presentation will consist of new subject with talks from a TAMU faculty member and LANL researcher. The current schedule is listed below. To subscribe to the listserve, send an email to listmanager@lanl.gov with no subject, the email body should contain only the following: subscribe tamu_lanl_polymerseminar.
