Title: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE): Taking Aim at CP Violation (and South Dakota)
Host: Svoboda
Room: 285
Abstract: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment will utilize a new, powerful neutrino beam at Fermilab that enables an unprecedented long baseline (1300 km) oscillation measurement. This will allow finally settling the question of whether or not neutrinos violate CP symmetry. This is relevant to explaining the baryon/anti-baryon asymmetry of the universe.

Title: A Generalized Cardy Formula for Black Hole Microstates
Host: Nemanja
Room: 432
Abstract: We propose a formalism for counting the microstates of a class of three-dimensional black holes which are not asymptotically AdS. The formalism rests on the invariance of a dual field theory under a generalized modular transformation and is extended to Rindler horizons by a singular limit. We also obtain logarithmic corrections.

Title: CUORE-0 results for neutrinoless double-beta decay and implications for CUORE
Host: Svoboda
Room: 432
Abstract:The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is an
upcoming experiment that will search for neutrinoless double-beta decay of Te-130
using an array of 988 TeO2 bolometers containing 206 kg of isotope. Observation of
the process would reveal that lepton number is not conserved, establish the Majorana
nature of neutrinos, and constrain the effective Majorana neutrino mass. CUORE-0,
the first 52-crystal tower built using the CUORE detector assembly line, was
commissioned at the Italian Gran Sasso National Laboratory as a standalone
experiment and has been taking data since March 2013. We will report the results of
a search for neutrinoless double-beta decay based on 9.8 kg-years of Te-130 exposure
collected by the CUORE-0 detector between March 2013 and February 2015 and discuss
the implications for CUORE.

Title: "Ugly ducklings" in the top quark sector
Host: Ennio Salvioni
Room: 432
Abstract: I will discuss seemingly "ugly ducklings" in particle physics and how to transform them into "beautiful swans" for us, taking physics examples in top quark sector. For this purpose, I will discuss energy distribution, extra radiation, and mis-bottom-tagging in the context of top mass measurement, separation between tW and tt, and enhancement of signal-over-background for the signal containing charm quarks, correspondingly.

Title: The Structure of Light Nuclei within a First-principles Framework: Giant Monopole and Dipole Excitations
Host: Svoboda
Room: 432
Abstract:A fundamental question in nuclear theory today is whether it is possible to describe atomic nuclei as a collection of protons and neutrons interacting via a realistic potential. These realistic interactions are based on the underlying physics of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and are determined from two- and three-body properties. In essence, we wish to build complex nuclei from what we have learned from few-body systems. In the past decade, substantial progress has been made in this arena with the advent of new theoretical methods and high-performance computing. From these efforts, several things have been learned, such as the importance of the three-body interaction, as well as limitations in our formulation of the interaction itself. Most efforts in the past have focused on low-lying properties of nuclei. In this presentation, I will review the current situation, and describe our recent efforts to compute the properties of the collective modes in nuclei; in particular giant monopole and dipole resonances for light nuclei. The formalism will be outlined and comparisons with experimental data for 10B will be shown. We will also address the Brink-hypothesis by examining the dipole response built upon excited states.
