Hydrogen vil være energibæreren vi bruker når fornybar og ren energi må erstatte fossil energi, men hva innebærer det og hvordan ser et slikt samfunn ut?

The existence of an electric dipole moment (EDM) of an elementary particle is a  quantity which violates time reversal (T-) symmetry. Trusting the CPT-symmetry valid in all local quantum field theories, EDMs are also CP-violating quantities. Therefore studies of EDMs give important information on the matter anti-matter asymmetry in the universe. Within the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, EDMs are small and given by (higher) loop effects and through the Cabibbi-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) CP-violating phase. Experimentally  only bounds on electron, muon, proton and neutron EDMs are  determined. Theories beyond the SM typically contain more sources of CP-violation than the SM. Therefore calculations of EDMs within such theories will put bounds on the parameters of such  (hypothetical) theories. [continued below]

This Friday, the 20th of January, we will discuss a paper by Chira and Thomas from 2016 called "The impact of rate heterogeneity on inference of phylogenetic models of trait evolution"

Hope to see you there!

Master of Science Jørgen Høgberget at Department of Physics will be defending the thesis Microscopic Modeling of Confined Crystal Surfaces: Growth, dissolution, and equilibrium for the degree of the Degree of Philosophiae Doctor

On Thursday you are all invited to come and hear about the CERN-MEDICIS project. The leader of the project, Thierry Stora, is visiting and will present the project in Origo from 12:15 - 13:00 on Thursday 19/1. The presentation should be interesting to anyone curious about medical applications of radioisotopes. 

Doctoral candidate Master of Science Jørgen Høgberget at Department of Physics will give a trial lecture on the given topic: "Numerical investigations of percolation problems"

Farinaldo Queiroz, MPI Heidelberg

We review the  searches for dark matter namely, direct, indirect and collider, emphasizing the importance of complementary strategies and discuss how one can eventually unveil the nature of dark matter.

Kristin Sæterdal Myhra at the Department of Geosciences will be defending her dissertation: Modelling Permafrost Conditions in Steep Mountain Environments

Radiosensitivity of cells in different layers of HT29 multicellular spheroids irradiated with x-rays

A Survey of DDS Implementations for RIMFAX

The earliest documented plague pandemic in Europe, the Plague of Justinian, occurred in the 6th century. However, a recent study by Rasmussen et al. (2015) found plague in Eurasian individuals from the Bronze Age, suggesting that plague was in Europe before the first recorded pandemics. In this journal club, we will discuss a paper by Valtuena, et al. (2016) that presents additional prehistoric Y. pestis genomes.

5 of our wonderful master students will present their projects with five-minute presentations.
