  • Professor Helen Quinn
    Professor Helen Quinn Helen Quinn was born in Australia and grew up in the Melbourne suburbs of Blackburn and Mitcham. She attended Tintern Girls Grammar School in Ringwood East. She matriculated successfully and obtained a cadetship from the Australian Department of Meteorology to fund her studies at the University of Melbourne. After beginning her undergraduate studies at the University, her family migrated to San Francisco in the early 1960s. Professor Quinn finished her undergraduate, and eventually graduate education at Stanford University. After receiving her doctorate from Stanford in 1967, she held a postdoctoral position at Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany, then served as a research fellow at Harvard in 1971, joining the faculty there in 1972. She returned to Stanford in 1976 as a visitor on a Sloan Fellowship and joined the staff at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Centre (SLAC) in 1977. In her current position as a theoretical physicist at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), Professor Quinn has made important contributions towards unifying the strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions into a single coherent model of particle physics. In 2000 she was awarded the Dirac Medal and Prize for pioneering contributions to the quest for a unified theory of quarks and leptons and of the strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions. The award, shared with Professors Howard Georgi of Harvard and Jogesh Pati of the University of Maryland, recognized Professor Quinn for her work on the unification of the three interactions, and for fundamental insights about charge-parity conservation. She has also recently developed basic analysis methods used to search for the origin of particle-antiparticle asymmetry in nature.

  • Tracking Optimal Axion-Sensitivie Resonant Modes in ADMX
    Tracking Optimal Axion-Sensitivie Resonant Modes in ADMX Nicole Man∗ University of California, Santa Cruz Mentors: Gray Rybka and Leslie Rosenberg University of Washington (ADMX Collaboration) (Dated: August 30, 2019) In ADMX operations, the TM010 mode is best coupled to our antennas as it provides the largest form factor. As the form factor is proportional to the power signal, tracking the TM010 mode ensures the use of the optimal axion-sensitive resonant modes. In this report, I will discuss the method to tracking the optimal axion-sensitive resonant modes in ADMX to ensure maxmized power signals. I. INTRODUCTION II.

  • Glossary of Terms Absorption Line a Dark Line at a Particular Wavelength Superimposed Upon a Bright, Continuous Spectrum
    Glossary of terms absorption line A dark line at a particular wavelength superimposed upon a bright, continuous spectrum. Such a spectral line can be formed when electromag- netic radiation, while travelling on its way to an observer, meets a substance; if that substance can absorb energy at that particular wavelength then the observer sees an absorption line. Compare with emission line. accretion disk A disk of gas or dust orbiting a massive object such as a star, a stellar-mass black hole or an active galactic nucleus. An accretion disk plays an important role in the formation of a planetary system around a young star. An accretion disk around a supermassive black hole is thought to be the key mecha- nism powering an active galactic nucleus. active galactic nucleus (agn) A compact region at the center of a galaxy that emits vast amounts of electromagnetic radiation and fast-moving jets of particles; an agn can outshine the rest of the galaxy despite being hardly larger in volume than the Solar System. Various classes of agn exist, including quasars and Seyfert galaxies, but in each case the energy is believed to be generated as matter accretes onto a supermassive black hole. adaptive optics A technique used by large ground-based optical telescopes to remove the blurring affects caused by Earth’s atmosphere. Light from a guide star is used as a calibration source; a complicated system of software and hardware then deforms a small mirror to correct for atmospheric distortions. The mirror shape changes more quickly than the atmosphere itself fluctuates.

  • The CP Puzzle in the Strong Interactions
    SLAC–PUB–8964 October 2001 The CP Puzzle in the Strong Interactions∗ Helen Quinn Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Stanford University, Stanford, California 94309 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This lecture, directed to an broad audience including non-specialists, presents a short review of the problem of strong CP symmetry maintenance. The problem is defined and the possible solutions briefly reviewed. I discuss the way in which Roberto Peccei and I came up with one solution, generally known as Peccei-Quinn symmetry. arXiv:hep-ph/0110050v1 3 Oct 2001 Dirac Medal Lecture 2001 Presented at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics Trieste, Italy July 3, 2001 ∗Work supported by Department of Energy contract DE–AC03–76SF00515. I would like to begin by thanking the ICTP for this honor, which I greatly appreci- ate receiving. To Miguel Virasoro and to the rest of the selection committee I want to express my sincere gratitude. I am greatly honored to be invited to join the company of the distinguished physicists who have received this award in the past. I also want to thank my collaborators on the work cited in this award, Steve Weinberg and my co-recipient Howard Georgi on the unification of the couplings [1] and Roberto Peccei, with whom I did the work I will talk about today [2]. He was not included in this award as it was principally focused on the other work, on Grand Unified Theories. I know that Jogesh Pati, the third co-winner this year,has talked on that topic, not only in his Dirac lecture [3] but also in his lectures for the Particle Physics school [4].

  • DPF NEWSLETTER - January 15, 1994
    DPF NEWSLETTER - January 15, 1994 To: Members of the Division of Particles and Fields From: Robert N. Cahn, Secretary-Treasurer, [email protected] Letter from DPF Chairman Mike Zeller: LHC Meeting at Fermilab Dear Colleague, In view of the demise of the SSC, the possible involvement of U.S. physicists in high-Pt physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN becomes an issue of immediate importance. At the suggestion of some of the physicists who were expecting to pursue this area of physics at the SSC, the DPF has agreed to sponsor a workshop to explore the prospects for U.S. collaboration in the machine and in the two high-Pt detector projects (ATLAS and CMS). As chairman of the DPF, I am writing to invite you to this workshop, which will be held in the Fermilab Auditorium on February 15 and 16, starting at 9:00 AM on Tuesday. The members of the organizing committee for this workshop are G. Trilling (LBL -- chairman), F. Gilman (SSCL), D. Green (Fermilab), L. Sulak (Boston U./Saclay), and W. Willis (Columbia). The agenda is not yet finalized, but a preliminary draft version is appended below. It includes presentations describing the LHC and the two high-Pt detectors - CMS and ATLAS, discussion of physics opportunities, and views from CERN management, DOE and HEPAP. The workshop will also serve as an opportunity for the community to express its interest in this pursuit (an interest that will provide input to both the HEPAP subpanel on the future of U.S. High Energy Physics and to the DPF study), and as a possible point of origin of a U.S.
