Welcome to the University of Jyväskylä physics colloquium.

On Friday 19th May at 10 am in FYS1 and Zoom [https://jyufi.zoom.us/j/66703175507] (passcode 890524):
Lotta Jokiniemi, TRIUMF:

How can ab initio studies help us solve long-standing puzzles in nuclear physics?

Over the decades, theory predictions have been overestimating the nuclear beta decay rates, one of the most ubiquitous nuclear processes in nature. This long-standing puzzle was recently found to be solved accounting for missing correlations and two-body currents using so-called ab initio (lat.​``from the beginning") nuclear techniques. On the other hand, search for new physics beyond the Standard Model often requires precision nuclear physics. For example, predictions on the hypothetical neutrinoless double-beta decay, which would reveal the unknown nature of neutrinos, are currently governed by the uncertainty of nuclear matrix elements. With the progress of ab initio techniques, this uncertainty can now be reduced to help experiments in their hunt for new physics. In my talk, I will explain what ab initio methods mean in the context of nuclear physics and how these methods can be used to unravel long-standing mysteries in nuclear physics.

Welcome!
Coffee will be served in the lobby. Although on-site attendance is the preferred option, you can also join via Zoom. Please do not send chat messages in Zoom during the talk, except if you need to tell about a muted speaker.

Do you wish to suggest further topics for the colloquium? You can do so at Café JYFL [https://jyu.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/CafJYFLDepartmentofPhysics/Jaetut%20asiakirjat/General/Physics%20colloquium%20ideas.docx?d=w888a107ea28543c7a9bc331f12a99995&amp;csf=1&amp;web=1&amp;e=r5iubT].
There are still some open slots (and budget) for the spring and a lot more for the fall, so suggestions are welcome.
We will have one more colloquium before the summer:
