Seminars Talks in Spring 2008

Topics of previous years

Dear graduate and undergraduate students

What is new, interesting, and important in our understanding
of matter, energy, and the Universe? Where are the frontiers
of Physics? How can you participate in physics research?
Where should you go to make your contribution to Science?
If you ask yourself such questions, we think this seminar can
be useful for you.
                                                                                                        
The Particle Physics, Astrophysics, and Cosmology Seminar (P599)
is a 1 credit-hour course for graduate and undergraduate physics major
students where you will have a chance to explore the latest developments
in fundamental particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. Interested
students from other fields of research are welcome to attend as well.
No prerequisites or advanced courses are required, only an interest in
the problems explored by fundamental physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.
UT faculty and guest scientists will tell you about their current
research and future plans. You will learn about newly discovered
facts, planned and future experiments, and theoretical ideas in
particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.
                                                                                                        
To earn 1 hour credit in this class we'll ask you to participate
actively in the seminar discussions (ask questions and make comments)
and also to give one 30-minute scientific presentation. The subject of
your presentation can be a recent experimental or theoretical paper
suggested by instructors, or the subject of your own research or interest.
The seminar will help you in developing your skills for scientific
presentation.
                                                                                                        
It is also quite acceptable if you just want to listen in or visit the
seminar for no credit - please come and do not hesitate to ask questions.
                                                                                                        
Please contact the Instructors listed above if you would like to understand
more about this class, how it works, and whether you should sign up for it.
