SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Virtual HEP-Astro Seminar | Overview of Dual-Readout Calorimetry Status and Development Plans For Future Electroweak Factories
DESCRIPTION:Meeting ID\n954 2991 7490\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95429917490\nPasscode123456\n\nAt present\, hadronic shower energy measurements are heavily limited by the event-by-event fluctuations of the electromagnetic shower fraction. Based on the simultaneous measurement of scintillating (S) and Cherenkov (C) light\, the dual-readout calorimetric technique is one of the solutions proposed for overcoming this problem and compensating for it\, on an event-by-event basis. In this talk\, we will quickly review the work done so far on dual-readout calorimeters and show their impressive potential\, in particular when coupled with a highly granular readout system. On top of that\, time measurements may complement the 2D imaging capabilities of a fibre-sampling calorimeter and provide information on the shower longitudinal profile. Finally\, an electromagnetic dual-readout crystal section will open the door for measurements of electromagnetic showers with top-of-the-art energy resolution\, without harming the hadronic performance. The development plans and the expected performance will be described in the context of the IDEA proto-experiment proposed for future circular electroweak factories (FCC-ee and CEPC).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Winter Seminar Series: Political polarization real and imagined: What do we get most wrong about our political opponents and does it matter?
DESCRIPTION:Political polarization real and imagined: What do we get most wrong about our political opponents and does it matter?\nMonday\, March 13\, 2023 (3:30 PM – 5:00 PM)\n\nAnne E. Wilson\nProfessor of Psychology\nWilfrid Laurier University\n\nPolitical polarization characterized by increasing dislike\, even hatred\, of opponent party members has risen to a fever pitch in contemporary American society. However\, a surprising degree of common ground may be obscured by an illusory conviction that most opponents hold extreme and noxious views. I describe my lab’s research considering how the contemporary media and social media ecosystem selects for and amplifies the most extreme and threatening exemplars of opponents\, fueling partisans’ caricatured views of the other side and producing a false polarization that outstrips real divisions. We consider the downstream consequences of these misperceptions\, including animosity\, refusal to engage with opponents\, hesitation to voice ingroup dissent\, and acceptance of anti-democratic tactics. We also examine ways to mitigate these effects and disrupt the cycle of polarization. Beginning with the insight that extreme voices tend to be disproportionately active\, visible\, and shared on social media (contributing to overestimations of the prevalence of noxious views)\, we examine whether exposure to ingroup dissenters who challenge their co-partisans’ extreme views online can mitigate these effects. We find that exposure to a single extreme tweet substantially increased opponents’ prevalence overestimates (assumptions that the fringe view is widespread). Next\, we examined whether exposure to one or several moderate\, dissenting tweets attenuated misperceptions and mitigated the cycle of hostility they provoke.\n\nAnne E. Wilson is a professor in the Psychology Department at Wilfrid Laurier University. She is an expert on individual and collective identity over time\, with a recent focus on intergroup processes underlying political polarization. She received her PhD in social psychology from the University of Waterloo in 2000\, is a former Canada Research Chair in Social Psychology\, and a Fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) Successful Societies program.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Celebrating Women's History Month
DESCRIPTION:“Celebrating Women’s History Month” will be a 90-minute presentation and dialogue on and celebrating the contributions of women throughout history. We will recognize the promotion of feminism and how it has evolved over time with discussion topics ranging from politics\, science\, art\, and culture. Through a candid conversation highlighting women’s voices across time\, we will highlight the impact of women in the industry and the contributions of women throughout the globe as well at the University of Michigan.\n\nThe experiences of minority women including but not limited to: Trans women\, trans femme women\, African American & Black women\, Latinx & Pacific Islander women\, Native American women\, East Asian women\, South Asian women\, Central Asian women\, and Middle Eastern women will be central to our workshop. Within our resident halls\, we encourage the awareness and active condemnation of misogynistic stigmas. Thus\, we will discuss not only women’s accomplishments but also the burdens they had to overcome\, and how we can all be part of a future where these burdens are removed for all individuals who identify as women.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Diagrams\, Schur-Weyl Duality and Links
DESCRIPTION:The Schur-Weyl Duality is a classical result that relates the representation theory of \mathfrac{sl}_2 and the symmetric group via their action on tensor powers of \C^2. We also have a result due to Weyl Rummer and Teller that gives a diagrammatic interpretation of the\mathfrac{sl}_2  invariants of  (\C^2)^{2n}. We shall see these results and their corresponding generalizations to $U_q{\mathfrac{sl}_2)$ on one hand and the Hecke algebra on one hand. We will also make surprising connections to Link Invariants and see how our diagrammatic calculus gives us the Jones polynomial.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Egyptian Herakles and Syrian Aphrodite? Phoenician art and cultural exchange in the eastern Mediterranean
DESCRIPTION:Who is “Egyptian Herakles” and why did Greeks use this title when referring to the Phoenician god Melqart? Why did the ancient Greek historian Herodotos seek the origins of Heracles and Aphrodite on the Levantine coast? In this talk I juxtapose these narratives of divine origins against the backdrop or artistic developments in early Greece\, when art in the Aegean and elsewhere in the Mediterranean emulated Levantine and in particular Phoenician models. I will propose that Phoenician modes of representation (including Egyptian and Canaanite inflections) affected perceptions of cultural affiliations and origins. More generally I will address the issue of representation of the Phoenicians in Greek and biblical sources\, positively or negatively\, as agents of cultural change.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISRMT Seminar: Some exact formulas of the KPZ fixed point and directed landscape
DESCRIPTION:In the past twenty years\, there have been huge developments in the study of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class\, which is a broad class of physical and probabilistic models including one-dimensional interface growth processes\, interacting particle systems and polymers in random environments\, etc. It is broadly believed and partially proved\, that all the models share the universal scaling exponents and have the same asymptotic behaviors. The height functions of models in the KPZ universality class are expected to converge to a limiting space-time fluctuation field\, which is called the KPZ fixed point. Moreover\, there is a random “directed metric” on the space-time plane that is expected to govern all the models in the KPZ universality class. This “directed metric” is called the directed landscape. Both the KPZ fixed point and the directed landscape are central objects in the study of the KPZ universality class\, while they were only characterized/constructed very recently [MQR21\, DOV18].\n\nIn this talk\, we will discuss some exact formulas of distributions in these two random fields. These exact formulas are in terms of an infinite sum of multiple contour integrals\, which are analogous to the Fredholm determinant expansions. We will show some surprising probabilistic properties of the KPZ fixed point and the directed landscape using the exact formulas. Some of the results are based on joint work with Yizao Wang and Ray Zhang.\n\nA recording of the talk can be found at https://youtu.be/I4zWZXU2ZTY

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker Series. Queering and Transing the Life Cycle in Jewish Ritual
DESCRIPTION:The term “life cycle ritual” is used widely in Jewish Studies. In this talk I trace the idea of the life cycle and its development\, while considering the racialized\, gendered\, and sexual politics of the term\, and the way it borrows from biological sciences. Scholars have argued that the concept of the life cycle in Judaism originates with the rabbis in late antiquity. Eunuchs and androgynes\, who are found prolifically in rabbinic literature\, can trouble the assumption that the rabbis are invested in an orderly cycle of life. I weave together trans and queer theory with Jewish sources to examine legal attempts to channel messy embodiment into a life trajectory.   \n\nMax Strassfeld is an Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Arizona. They are the author of Trans Talmud: Androgynes and Eunuchs in Rabbinic Literature\, which was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Awards in 2022.\n\nCo-sponsors: Departments of Women’s and Gender Studies\; Classical Studies\; Center for Judaic Studies
