Friday seminar by Marius Roesti from University of Basel (Switzerland) and University of British Columbia (Canada)
Trial lecture on the subject of exoplanets.
Welcome back! This Friday 13th of November, we will read a paper by Zelditch et al. 2015 "Relationships of diversity, disparity,and their evolutionary rates in squirrels (Sciuridae)".
Trial lecture on the subject of exoplanets.
MSc.Pharm. Ida Benedikte Pedersen at School of Pharmacy will be defending the thesis Factors that affect the stability and restart of replication forks in Escherichia coli for the degree of Ph.D.
Master i farmasi Ida Benedikte Pedersen ved Farmasøytisk institutt vil forsvare sin avhandling for graden ph.d: Factors that affect the stability and restart of replication forks in Escherichia coli.
This week we will discuss a paper on how a novel prey life history leads to sympatric divergence in a predator species that was recently published in Nature Communications by Brodersen and colleagues. This will bring some ecology back to the journal club after some more molecular papers!

We consider two scenarios in which the first experimental hint for the particle physics nature of dark matter (DM) comes from highly boosted DM particles. The first scenario interprets the high energy events observed in IceCube as a signal of PeV DM decaying to a much lighter state, which in turn is detected in IceCube. The model explains the event rate and spectrum observed in IceCube, it shows a preference for shower-like events at the highest energies, and it features a small dip in the spectrum at few hundred TeV. The second scenario is a very generic dark photon model. We point out that DM production at the LHC can be accompanied by final state radiation in the form of "dark photons", which decay back to SM particles. We discuss this process analytically and numerically in analogy to collinear particle showers in QED and QCD. The smoking gun signal of this "radiating DM" scenario are collimated jets or lepton jets with unusual properties.

Late Lunch Talk by Alexander Suh from the Uppsala University, Sweden
Welcome to the GeoHyd Lunch Seminar on Friday 6 November @12:15 in AUD 1 in the Geology building.
This week we will discuss a paper from MBE 2014 by Simon Martin and collaborators. The study evaluates the use of different statistical methods for detecting introgression and applies these to data on the heliconius butterfly complex.

Upcoming short presentation from MSc/PhD students in meteorology and oceanography:
Speaker: Inger Helene Hafsal Karset
Title: Improved model teatment of Stratocumulus Cluds and associated aerosol-clouds interactions
Supervisor: Jón Egill Kristjánsson
Bryan Webber, University of Cambridge
Tests of the Standard Model and searches for new phenomena at the Large Hadron Collider depend heavily on computer simulations of signal and background processes. Monte Carlo event generators aim to simulate the final states of high-energy collisions in full detail, down to the level of individual stable particles. The talk will review the physics behind these programs, their main ingredients and theoretical status, with emphasis on recent work to improve their precision. Comparisons with the latest LHC data will illustrate these developments, and the places where further improvements are needed.
