Come interact with physics faculty and students as the Department of Physics opens its doors.

Activities:

• Poster Session, 2-­4 pm, 4th floor (entrance level) lobby
• Laboratory Tours 2-­5 pm on floors 2, 3, 10, 12, 13, & 14 — leaving every half hour
• Theory presentations 2-5 pm in RLM 9.222 — a new topic every half hour

Find out about the following topics in lab tours, which will run every half hour from 2-5:

• Texas Petawatt Laser Lab, Tabletop particle acceleration and more!
• Controlled atomic motion
• Nano‐photonics and quantum materials
• Laser driven plasma accelerator
• Surface Dynamics
• Nano materials
• Quantum materials and computation
• Nanoscale Electronics
• Quark‐gluon plasma
• Spin‐Based Electronics
• Cool Atomic Microscope
• Super conductivity and Magnetism
• Mechanical Properties of Cells
• Biofilms and Cell Membranes
• Ocean Wave Dynamics

Theory presentations in 9.222:

• 2:00 ‐ 2:30 : Matthew Klimek “Testing the standard model at large hadron collider”
• 2:30 ‐ 3:00 : Michael Marder “Physics, Fracking, Fuel, and the Future"
• 3:00 ‐ 3:30 : Austin Gleeson “Relativity: copacetic and right
• 3:30 ‐ 4:00 : Sonia Paban “Quantum fluctuation and galaxies”
• 4:00 ‐ 4:30 : Philip Morrison “ What do magnetic field lines really look like”
• 4:30 ‐ 5:00 : Thomas Carroll “Neutrino physics: with and without the neutrinos”

You'll learn that the study of physics knows no bounds.
