SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Writing with ChatGPT
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will provide students with techniques for graduate writing with ChatGPT. We will start with a brief overview of current academic conversations about ChatGPT\, authorship\, and citation\, and we will consider how disciplinary contexts might shape these conversations. We will then practice a series of prompts and writing exercises graduate students can use while working with ChatGPT. Students should bring a piece of writing they are interested in working on during the workshop.\n\nRegister for this workshop at https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/90019\n\nRackham / Sweetland Workshops\, co-sponsored by the Rackham Graduate School\, cover a host of topics designed to help graduate students in various aspects of writing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Hunting for Ghosts with Rare Isotope Doped Advanced Sensors
DESCRIPTION:Nuclear beta and electron capture (EC) decay serve as sensitive probes of the structure and symmetries at the microscopic scale of our Universe. As such\, precision measurements of the final-state products in these processes can be used as powerful laboratories to search for new physics from the meV to TeV scale\, as well as addressing fundamental questions of quantum mechanics at the subatomic scale. Significant advances in “rare isotope” availability and quality\, coupled with decades of sensing technique development from the AMO community have led us into a new era of fundamental tests of nature using unstable nuclei. For the past few years\, we have taken the approach of embedding radioisotopes in thin-film superconducting tunnel junctions (STJs) to precisely measure the recoiling atom that gets an eV-scale “kick” from the neutrino following EC decay. These recoils are encoded with the fundamental quantum information of the neutrino and decay process\, as well as carrying unique signatures of weakly coupled beyond standard model (BSM) physics\; including neutrino mass\, exotic weak currents\, and potential “dark” particles created within the energy-window of the decay. These measurements provide a complimentary and (crucially) model-independent portal to the dark sector with sensitivities that push towards synergy between laboratory and cosmological probes. In this talk\, I will discuss the broad program we have developed to provide leading limits in these areas as well as the technological advances across several sub-disciplines of science required to enable this work\, including subatomic physics\, quantum engineering\, atomic theory\, and materials science. Finally\, I will discuss future prospects of extending this work using macroscopic amounts of harvested exotic atoms from the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) in optically levitated nanospheres for direct momentum measurements of the decay recoils.
