SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar |   PROSPECT-I final oscillation results and PROSPECT-II physics goals and detector design
DESCRIPTION:The Precision Reactor Oscillation and SPECTrum (PROSPECT) experiment is a short-baseline reactor experiment built to measure the antineutrino spectrum from the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). The detector is made of 4 tons of Li-6 doped liquid scintillator divided into an 11x14 array of optically separated segments. The experiment searches for potential short-baseline oscillations and the existence of sterile neutrinos. PROSPECT has already set new limits on the existence of eV-scale sterile neutrinos while achieving the highest signal-to-background ratio on any surface antineutrino detector. The collaboration has developed an upgraded detector design\, PROSPECT-II\, which will increase the detector's statistics and physics sensitivity. In this talk\, I will present the PROSPECT-I results and describe the major design features of the PROSPECT-II detector\, highlighting improvements from the PROSPECT-I detector. In addition\, I will discuss how those add to the oscillation and spectrum results.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:International Students Career Series: How to Navigate Small Talk
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, many people participate in what is called \"small talk\"\, where you make conversation with strangers or acquaintances about non-controversial topics\, such as the weather\, sports\, or popular television shows. “Small talk” is one of the ways in American culture to chat about harmless topics in order to establish a connection and start to build a friendship. For example\, while waiting for an interview\, in line at a M-Den\, or in an elevator on campus\, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like\, “Did you watch the FootballGame last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation. If you areinterested in learning more about \"small talk\"\, now it’s your chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk as an international student. In this workshop\, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers! REGISTER HERE: https://umich.joinhandshake.com/events/1718094/share_preview We want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.
