A key problem in the field of quantum criticality is to understand the nature of quantum phase transitions in systems of interacting itinerant fermions, motivated by experiments on a variety of strongly correlated materials. Much attention…
Maximizing the discovery potential of increasingly precise neutrino experiments will require an improved theoretical understanding of neutrino-nucleus cross sections over a wide range of energies. Low-energy interactions are needed to…
Highlights of top quark physics presented at the 2009 Europhysics Conference on High Energy Physics from 16-22 July 2009 in Krakow, Poland, are reviewed.
High energy jets and their associated event shapes provide a window into the transition between elementary and composite degrees of freedom in quantum chromodynamics. This talk reviews some methods and a few principles that have led to…
We perform Hartree-Fock calculations to show that quantum dots (i.e. two dimensional systems of up to twenty interacting electrons in an external parabolic potential) undergo a gradual transition to a spin-polarized Wigner crystal with…
