[Raza Sufian]

Dear all,

Here is a reminder for seminars next week:

Theory seminar:

Anna Hasenfratz (University of Colorado, Boulder)

Title: Hidden properties of composite systems in and out of the conformal window

Abstract: Lattice QCD methods allow the study of non-perturbative properties of strongly coupled systems. The QCD spectrum, including excited states, or hadronic matrix elements, have been calculated with high precision.
Investigations of conformal or near-conformal systems that might describe beyond-Standard Model phenomenology are less advanced, but interesting observations are emerging from lattice studies. In this talk I  will discuss a specific model but point out  general properties characterizing near-conformal systems.
While QCD and conformal systems might appear rather different, their renormalization group structures have a lot in common. A recently introduced method to calculate the anomalous dimensions of composite fermionic operators  allows the study of the RG properties. I will discuss this method and briefly show some new results both in QCD and conformal models.

Cake seminar:
Wednesday, June 5, 1:00PM, Room L102
Wally Van Orden (ODU / JLAB)

Title: Neutral-Current Neutrino Scattering and Strangeness

Abstract: The possibility of using neutral-current neutrino scattering from protons and neutrons to produce observables that are sensitive to the nucleon strange form factors.  The mixing of isoscalar and isovector contributions to the nucleon form factors due to the weak neutral suggests that asymmetries constructed from combinations of proton and neutron cross sections will have enhance sensitivity to the strange form factors. This talk will present preliminary results along with a possible method obtaining the neutron cross sections needed for this approach.


Thank you.
