Virtual Zoom Conference

SPEAKER:

Oliver Gorton, PhD Candidate, Computational Science, San Diego State University

ABSTRACT:

Astronomical observations indirectly suggest a large fraction of the matter in the universe is nonbaryonic and weakly interacting. This has prompted numerous and ongoing experimental efforts to directly detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPS). In this talk I will explain how nuclear physics contributes to the theoretical understanding of these experiments and what role computational nuclear physics at SDSU has to play.

HOST:

Abraham Flores and the SDSU SIAM Student Chapter
