Dissertation Defense: "First Measurements of the Differential Cross Sections of Higgs Boson Production and Decay in the 4 Lepton Final State"
Jonathon Stahlman, University of Pennsylvania
Condensed Matter Seminar: "Building Colloidal Aggregates in Anisotropic Media"
Professor Colin Denniston, Western Ontario University
Colloids in a liquid crystal matrix exhibit very anisotropic interactions. Further, these interactions can be altered by both properties of the colloid and of the liquid crystal. This gives the potential for…
