Nevis Seminar
The Nevis Seminar is designed to bring the different research groups at Nevis together to present their work on a monthly basis. Lunch will be provided 1/2 hour before the talks begin.- Where: Nevis Laboratories (directions: http://www.nevis.columbia.edu/directions.html
), Mansion House Conference Room. Lunch will be in the dinning room in the mansion.
- When: Usually the 4th Thursday of the month during Fall and Winter semesters.

| Date | Time | Speaker | Title | Description | Notes | Slides |
| Jan. 30th | 1pm | Tim Andeen | The ATLAS Experiment, from Nevis to CERN | Columbia University has a large team of scientists working on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. Scientists from Nevis have been involved in every aspect of the experiment. Significant components of ATLAS were developed and built at Nevis and work continues upgrading the detector. The latest searches for physics beyond the Standard Model will be discussed as we look forward to even higher energy collisions in 2015 and beyond. | Lunch at 12:30 pm | |
| Feb. 27th | 1pm | Mike Hahn | Evidence for Wave Heating in the Solar Corona | One of the major problems in astrophysics is to understand how the solar corona is heated to over a million degrees. In this talk I will review the coronal heating problem, its possible solutions, and present our results indicating that waves carry energy into the corona from lower layers of the Sun. | Lunch at 12:30 pm | |

| Nov. 21st | 1pm | Joy Didier | EBEX: The E and B EXperiment. | Measuring the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) provides us with a wealth of information on the origin, composition and dynamics of the universe. EBEX is a balloone-borne telescope designed to measure the polarization of the CMB. I will give an overview of the instrument and of the recent science flight in Antarctica. | Lunch at 12:30 pm | |

| Feb. 28th | 1pm | Guillaume Plante | Xenon : Searching for Dark Matter with Liquid Xenon Detectors | Why is dark matter needed, how can we detect it (hopefully!), the XENON project and the contributions of the Nevis XENON group. | Lunch at 12:30 pm | |
| Mar. 28th | 1pm | Andrew D. Harken | An overview of RARAF | From broad beams to microbeams, single proteins to small animals. Where we have been to where we are going. | Lunch at 12:30 pm | |
