Title: The precision Frontier for Gluon Saturation
Abstract: A major pillar of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) scientific program is the discovery and characterization of a new regime of nuclear matter, known as color glass condensate (CGC), dominated by a highly dense and saturated system of gluons. Predictions from the CGC...
Title: To the Issue of Geodesics and Torsion in the Theory of the Gravitation
Speaker: Yaroslav Derbenev
Abstract: A simple differential analysis of the issue of correspondence between notion of the geodesics in gravitation theory of GTR and straights of inertial motion in the Minkowski’ space-time discovers that, conventional certification of the geodesics in GTR is not compatible with the existence of the Riemann-Christoffel curvature tensor (RCT). We show that, a resolution of this crisis consists of a natural extension of the Christoffels in the dynamic...
Science Bowl is a competition is open to middle school teams from across Virginia. The middle school competition will take place on Saturday, March 2, 2024.
For ~25 years the Radiation Detector and Imaging Group with involvement from numerous collaborators has developed many application specific radiation imaging systems based on positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Several clinical instruments have been built to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
New Biomedical Instrumentation and Imaging Devices
The Radiation Detector and Imaging Group with involvement from numerous collaborators has developed pre-clinical radiation imaging systems for small animal research based on positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The group in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland are developed a SPECT-CT system for imaging unanesthetized, unrestrained mice. The use of anesthesia and physical restraint can change the neurological and physiological processes being studied.
