in a hopper is an iconic granular phenomenon. It's different from a fluid in that the rate is constant also in that it can s uddenly and unexpectedly clog. How does the the susceptibility to cloggin g decrease with increasing hole size\, and is there a well-defined cloggi ng transition above which the system never clogs? This problem is distinc t from jamming due to the presence of boundaries and gradients. We show h ow the fraction F of flow configurations that cause a clog may be deduced from the average mass discharged between clogs. We construct a simple mo del to account for the observation that F decays exponentially in hole wi dth to the power of dimensionality. Thus the clogging transition is not s harp but rather is defined by observation limits\, similar to the glass t ransition. When the system is immersed in water\, F barely changes. There fore\, grain momenta play only a secondary role in destabilizing weak inc ipient arches and the crucial microscopic variables are likely the grain positions. Work is now in progress to distinguish free-flowing versus cl og-causing position microstates using machine learning. Faculty host: Jos hua Socolar.

However\ , the technology also has serious drawbacks. For instance\, the same faci lities needed to generate nuclear power for peaceful purposes can be misu sed to produce nuclear explosive materials\, primarily highly enriched ur anium (HEU) and plutonium. This risk must be more effectively managed if nuclear power is to play a larger role in the world's energy mix. The sys tem in place to deter and hopefully detect such misuses\, the nuclear non -proliferation regime\, has faced many challenges over the last several d ecades\, including Iran\, North Korea\, and Japan. And it will have to co nfront new ones as nuclear energy facilities are deployed more widely in politically unstable regions such as the Middle East\, without counting o n a commensurate increase in resources. This talk will discuss some of th e technical and political obstacles that the regime must overcome in orde r to adequately control proliferation risks in the future. | Faculty host : Joshua Socolar | Refreshments will be available before the event in roo m 130.

Scattering between the constituent part icle elements lead to spatial structuring of the total field by interfere nce thereby establishing a natural length scale to the mesoscopic system. Our earlier work using (plasmonic) nanoparticles in solution\, addressed the formation of optical matter utilizing the general optical beam shape \, intensity and phase gradients and polarization for control. We recentl y demonstrated (ACS Nano\, 2018) that the visualization of driven nanopar ticle systems allow detailed trajectory studies of barrier crossing pheno mena.

Mathematical models of synaptic plasticity (sometimes called `synaptic plasticity rules' or `lea rning rules') capture experimental data on plasticity with increasing acc uracy\, but it is still unclear how realistic synaptic plasticity rules s hape network dynamics and information storage. In this talk\, I will firs t review approaches for inferring learning rules from neurophysiological data. I will describe in particular a new approach in inferring the\nlear ning rules from in vivo electrophysiological data\, using experiments tha t compare the statistics of responses of neurons to sets of novel and fam iliar stimuli. I will then focus on how the inferred learning rules shap e the dynamics of networks\, leading to a diversity of potential dynamics that allow the network to retrieve the stored information (fixed point a ttractors\, chaotic attractors\, or transient sequential activity). Final ly\, I will show that learning rules inferred from data are close to maxi mizing information storage. Faculty host: Anselm Vossen. Refreshments wil l be available before the event in room 130.

While independent analyses are currently the norm\, they miss out on substantial scientific synergies offered by the spatial overlap of current and future surveys. In my talk I will show how to build a coherent hyperspectral model from m ultiple data sets of the same celestial scene: imaging and spectroscopy o bserved from ground and space. I will introduce several novel methods fro m constrained optimization and machine learning. Combined\, they form a f ramework for "data fusion". I will discuss its benefits for cosmological analyses such as gravitational lensing and studies of galaxy clusters\, A GNs and the evolution of galaxies.

Topological phases are theoretically conjectured to occur in an astonishingly vast array of different material systems with a wide range of physical properties predicted - a subset of which may eve n be useful! Intriguingly\, certain topological phases may harbor low ene rgy excitations with exotic braiding statistics. When traversing closed t rajectories around one another\, these excitations behave not as fermions or bosons\, but altogether differently\, and have given a rather obscure appellation - non-Abelian anyons. Theory suggests that quantum informat ion can be stored and manipulated in these usual beasts. I will describe our attempts to build and interrogate such topological phases in semicond uctor and semiconductor-superconductor hybrid devices. We study phenomena ranging from the fractional quantum Hall effect in ultra-high mobility g allium arsenide to proximity-induced superconductivity in semiconductors with strong spin-orbit coupling - a system that may mimic topological sup erconductivity. I will focus on basic physical principles underlying dev ice operation\, illustrated with a few key examples. The potential utili ty of such systems for quantum computing will also be discussed.

In particular\, it predicts that the universe is currently filled with dark energy and dark matter. There is a broad assumption in cosmology that the universe on its earlier stage s is fully understood and that discrepancies between the standard model o f cosmology and current data are suggestive of distinct dark energy prope rties. However\, uncertainties in this hypothesis are not usually taken i nto account when forecasting survey capabilities\, even though our invest igations might be obfuscated if the intermediate and early universe did b ehave slightly different than predicted. In this colloquium\, I propose a program to investigate dark energy and earlier aspects of our universe s imultaneously\, through space missions in the 2020s in combination with c urrent and upcoming ground-based observatories. This program will help gu ide the strategy for the future WFIRST supernovae and weak lensing survey s. My investigations on how properties of the early and intermediate univ erse affect inferences on dark energy (and vice-versa) will also support NASA's understanding of how future space missions can be used to test som e of the core hypotheses of the standard model of cosmology.

The relation between visible galaxies and dark matter halos not only informs us of how galaxie s form and evolve\, but also plays a pivotal role when interpreting resul ts from cosmological surveys and dark matter searches. However\, our limi ted knowledge about the galaxy-halo connection\, such as its behavior at low mass and unknown biases\, has become the theoretical systematics in c urrent and upcoming surveys and experiments. In this talk\, I will introd uce the recent developments of the galaxy-halo connection on both the the oretical and the observational fronts. I will demonstrate how we construc t better galaxy-halo connection models\, how we use new datasets to const rain these models\, and how these improvements can reduce the said theore tical systematics. I will also discuss why it is critical to join the eff orts of the galaxy formation and cosmology communities to advance the gal axy-halo connection models in the era of large-scale surveys and experime nts.

To achieve an unprecedented precision in these questio ns\, the field has gradually started to eliminate its reliance on phenome nological models\, and has entered an era when the underlying interaction s are set to those in the Standard Model of particle physics. Light nucle ar systems can now emerge directly from quark and gluon degrees of freedo m and with only quantum chromodynamics (QCD) interactions in play\, using the numerical method of lattice QCD. Few-body observable\, such as few-h adron interactions and scattering amplitudes\, as well as transition ampl itudes and reaction rates\, have been the focus of this vastly growing fi eld. Once obtained from QCD and matched to effective field theories\, the se determinations can advance and improve nuclear many-body calculations of exceedingly more complex systems. This talk is a brief introduction to this program and its goals\, with a focus on a few examples that demonst rate the roadmap from the Standard Model to nuclear physics.

The internal quark structure of the proton is revealed by deeply virtual Compton scattering a process in which electrons are scattered off quarks inside the protons\, which subsequently emit high-energy photons\, which are detected in coincidence with the scattered electrons and recoil proto ns. I will report on the first measurement of the pressure distribution e xperienced by the quarks in the proton. This work opens up a new area of research on the fundamental gravitational properties of protons\, neutron s and nuclei\, which can provide access to their physical radii\, the int ernal shear forces acting on the quarks and their pressure distributions.

Through careful design of the material's architecture\, new ma terial properties have been demonstrated\, including negative Poisson's r atio\, high stiffness-to-weight ratio and mechanical cloaking. While orig inally the field focused on achieving unusual (zero or negative) values f or familiar mechanical parameters\, more recently it has been shown that non-linearities can be exploited to further extend the design space. In t his talk I will focus on kirigami-inspired metamaterials\, which are prod uced by introducing arrays of cuts into thin sheets. First\, I will demon strate that instabilities triggered under uniaxial tension can be exploit ed to create complex 3D patterns and even to guide the formation of perma nent folds. Second\, I will show that such non-linear systems can be used to designs smart and flexible skins with anisotropic frictional properti es that enables a single soft actuator to propel itself. Finally\, I will focus on bistable kirigami metamaterials and show that they provide an i deal environment for the propagation non-linear waves.

The minimal model program (MMP) is an ambitious program that aims to classify algebraic varieties. According to the MMP\, there are 3 building blocks: Fano varieties\, Calabi-Yau varieties and varieties of general type which are higher dimensional analogs of Riemann Surfaces of genus 0\,1 or at least 2 respectively. In this talk I will recall the gen eral features of the MMP and discuss recent advances in our understanding of varieties of general type.

Grothendieck showed that the de Rham cohomology of X can be computed using only polyno mial differential forms on X. This observation was the starting point for the theory of algebraic de Rham cohomology\, which has proved to be a us eful invariant for algebraic varieties over an arbitrary field k. In the case where k has positive characteristic\, Berthelot and Grothendieck int roduced a refinement of algebraic de Rham cohomology\, known as crystalli ne cohomology. In this talk\, I will review the theory of algebraic de Rh am cohomology and sketch an elementary construction of crystalline cohomo logy\, based on recent joint work with Bhargav Bhatt and Akhil Mathew.

The journey therefore starts by introducing the genera l concept of effective field theories. I will provide several examples of how such effective field theories are used nowadays to make precise pred ictions for observables at the Large Hadron Collider. I will then continu e our trip by explaining how effective field theories help predict observ ables involving a large number of final state particles\, using tools com monly referred to as parton showers.

She used data t aken with a cyclotron in order to discover the nuclear shell model. Since then particle accelerators have come a long way. Many of the big discove ries in the 20th century involved one kind of accelerator of another. Pre sently we are sitting at the highest center of mass energy collider of al l time\, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN\, ringing in at 13 TeV. A num ber of key advances in accelerator physics were involved. At the LHC we are interested in the lifetimes of particles\, potentially new particles not described by the Standard Model.

Despite decades of effo rts in studying its internal structure\, there are still a number of puzz les surrounding the proton such as its spin\, mass\, and charge radius. T he proton charge radius puzzle developed about ten years ago refers to a 5-7 sigma discrepancy between the ultrahigh precise values of the proton charge radius determined from muonic hydrogen Lamb shift measurements and the CODATA values compiled from electron-proton scattering experiments a nd hydrogen spectroscopy measurements. In this talk I will briefly introd uce the proton spin and mass puzzles first. I will then focus on the prot on charge radius puzzle\, the latest experimental results\, and especiall y the PRad experiment at Jefferson Lab and its result.\n\nFaculty host: J oshua Socolar\n\nRefreshments will be available before the event in room 130.\n\nImage credit: Joanna Griffin\, Jefferson Lab DURATION:PT1H DTSTAMP:20200206T195739Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200219T153000 LAST-MODIFIED:20200206T195739Z LOCATION;X-BEDEWORK-UID=18832edc-1b27e154-011b-2838ba73-00000078:Physics 1 30 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Duke Physics Colloquium: The Proton Remains Puzzling UID:CAL-2c918085-6efb0443-016f-005399e7-00002ca3demobedework@mysite.edu X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Main:/user/public-user/Utili ties/Main X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Lecture_Talk:/user/public-us er/Lectures_Conferences/Lecture_Talk X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Panel_Seminar_Colloquium:/us er/public-user/Lectures_Conferences/Panel_Seminar_Colloquium X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Natural Sciences:/user/publi c-user/Topics/Natural Sciences X-BEDEWORK-SPEAKER:Haiyan Gao (Duke University Physics Department) X-BEDEWORK-DUKE-SERIES:Duke Physics Colloquium X-BEDEWORK-SUBMITTEDBY:cmryman for Physics (agrp__ArtsandSciences_Physics) X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X1:0 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y1:1004 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X2:2626 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y2:2754.666666666667 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-WIDTH:2626 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-HEIGHT:1750.666666666667 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-ALT-TEXT:overdraft_D2 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE:/public/Images/coverdraft_D2_20191213123557PM.jpg X-BEDEWORK-THUMB-IMAGE:/public/Images/coverdraft_D2_20191213123557PM-thumb .png X-BEDEWORK-CS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DESCRIPTION="/principals/users/agrp_Institu tes_MaterialsScienceandEngineering,":Materials Science and Engineering END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Natural Sciences CATEGORIES:Lectures/Conferences CATEGORIES:Utilities CATEGORIES:Lecture/Talk CATEGORIES:Panel/Seminar/Colloquium CATEGORIES:Main CONTACT;X-BEDEWORK-UID=2c918084-67810a22-0167-8547cfec-000013b9:Gerondelis \, Kristen CREATED:20200213T201544Z DESCRIPTION:An improvement of Liouville's theorem for discrete harmonic fu nctions\n\nThe classical Liouville theorem tells us that a bounded harmon ic \nfunction on the plane is a constant. At the same time for any \n(arb itrarily small) angle on the plane there exist non-constant \nharmonic fu nctions that are bounded everywhere outside this angle.\nThe situation is completely different for discrete harmonic functions \non the standard s quare lattices. The following strong version of the \nLiouville theorem h olds on the two-dimensional lattice. If a discrete \nharmonic function is bounded on 99% of the lattice then it is constant.\nA simple counter-exa mple shows that in higher dimensions such \nimprovement is no longer true .\n\nThe talk is based on a joint work with L. Buhovsky\, A. Logunov and M.\nSodin.

Apologies for any inconvenie nce. **\n\n"Advances in the Current and Future X-ray Sources"\n\nX-rays f rom synchrotron radiation (SR) and free-electron lasers (FELs) have huge impact in the recent advances in various areas of science and technology. Having gone through several generations of development\, research facili ties based on SR are currently at the 4th generation stage\, thus referre d to as 4GSRs. A 4GSR employs spontaneous radiation from undulators insta lled in an "ultimate storage ring"\, in which the phase space area of the electron beam is "diffraction limited" in the soft X-ray spectrum. In an FEL\, an electron bunch can exchange energy with a radiation pulse co-pr opagating in an undulator\, giving rise to radiation amplification. With the advance in the linac technology for bright electron beams\, an X-ray FEL (XFEL) became feasible in which the spontaneous emission is self-ampl ified in a long undulator by a factor about a million\, giving rise to in tense\, quasi-coherent X-ray pulse. The brightness of this "self-amplifie d-spontaneous emission" (SASE) is about the same as that of 4GSRs. We are about to witness the advent of XFELs driven by super-conducting RF (SCRF ) linacs with a repetition rate higher by three to four orders of magnitu des than that from Cu-linacs\, and proportionally higher X-ray brightness ...

How physicists can help"\n\nMost of us thought that\, with the end of the Cold War and the rise of democracy in Russia\, the danger of a nuclear A rmageddon had receded and what remained was to pilot a glide path to very a low level of de-alerted nuclear weaponry and strengthen the nuclear no nproliferation regime. That did not happen. NATO expanded east\, democra cy faded in Russia\, Russia invaded Ukraine\, nuclear reductions halted\, the US has exited two of the three bilateral nuclear arms control agreem ents it has with Russia and seems on track to exit the third\, and we are in the midst of nuclear proliferation crises with Iran and North Korea.\ n\nGiven this situation\, the American Physical Society has funded a proj ect to get physicists engaged with nuclear threat reduction again. The p urpose of this talk is to provide an overview of the current situation an d the various proposals that are being debated to mitigate the dangers. T he hope is that a few physicists in the audience will consider educating themselves further and then become involved in helping to educate their m embers of Congress. The speaker will be available for discussions before or after with anyone who might be interested.\n\nFaculty host: Phil Barbe au\n\nRefreshments will be available before the event in room 130.\n\nThi s seminar is presented with support from the Consortium for Nonproliferat ion Enabling Capabilities (CNEC) at NC State.

Various insulating top ological phases are known to realize unique electromagnetic couplings suc h as the quantum Hall effect and "axion electrodynamics"\, and understand ing this led to an improved understanding of polarization and magnetoelec tricity in all materials. The main new results are on how the recently di scovered topological Weyl and Dirac semimetals can show unique electromag netic responses. We argue that in linear response the main observable eff ect solves an old problem via the orbital moment of Bloch electrons\, and how in nonlinear optics there should be a novel approximately quantized photocurrent effect. This photocurrent effect should have magnitude deter mined by fundamental constants\, namely the cube of electric charge\, div ided by the square of Planck's constant\, and may have been observed in r ecent experiments.\n\nFaculty host: Thomas Barthel\n\nRefreshments will b e available before the event in room 130.
