Join four of your colleagues as they present status and prospects of their Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) projects. Also, learn how you can get support for your own novel idea at the forefront of science and technology and aligned with Fermilab’s mission. The plan (10 minutes each): CHarles Thangaraj, First Demonstration of a Conduction... More »

Perturbative calculations for many collider observables suffer from large logarithmic corrections associated with soft emissions or radiation collinear to beam or jet directions. Resummation using SCET techniques is based on factorisation theorems, and requires the calculation of jet, soft and beam functions to some perturbative accuracy. This task has up to now mainly been achieved... More »

The SuperCDMS experiment has designed a new generation of dark matter detectors which have recently demonstrated sensitivity to events with a single charge, equivalent to a minimum event energy of 1.2 eV, the indirect bandgap energy of Si, with very low dark counts. This level of sensitivity was achieved partially through the use of Luke-Neganov... More »
