\nDr. Maria Babiuc-Hamilton from the Department of Physics provided Computational Physics Talk on Thursday, March 4th from 12:30pm – 1:30pm. Her talk is titled “Neutron Stars Collide in the BigGreen Cluster”.<\/p>\n
Abstract: Two neutron stars collide in a tremendous explosion \u2013 called a \u201ckilonova\u201d \u2013 that gives off a powerful burst of radiation, gravitational waves, and heavy elements such as lead, gold, and uranium. The first detection of a neutron star merger with both telescopes and gravitational wave happened more than three years ago and received worldwide attention. Since then, only one other has been seen, and scientists still know very little about these events. What goes on while neutron stars merge? What is left over after the merger? What are neutron stars made of? Answers to these questions can only be obtained through numerical, nonlinear simulations of general relativity. We outline the essential steps involved in simulating binary neutron star mergers and show that the resulting gravitational wave signal and the nature of the remnant depend on the masses and the internal structure of each neutron star. To understand this dependence and be able to make predictions, we need to carry on multiple simulations and compare the most promising outcomes with observations of real mergers. The computational effort needed would require dozens of simulations, on hundreds of computer cores, for several weeks. We argue the necessity of upgrading the BigGreen cluster to support future competitive research in computational astrophysics and data science.<\/p>\n

A research student of Dr. Sean P. McBride, Mckenzie Granata, has received Marshall University Research committee funding for her new project- Applying Young\u2019s Modulus to Clinical Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. Overall, this project could also be developed into an effective inexpensive classroom teaching demonstration or laboratory module for introductory courses taught at sports medicine institutes, such as at Marshall University.<\/p>\n

Award-winning Dr. Thomas Wilson, Professor of Physics, will describe how the four-wave mixing, within a cryogenically-cooled nano-layered charge structure (a nipi doping superlattice) in crystalline silicon, of two terahertz optical, and two (\u201cphaseconjugated\u201d) terahertz acoustic waves, has surprisingly lead to observations, in S154, of a self-starting, mirrorless, acoustic parametric oscillator (APO). The APO is in effect a sound laser or \u201csaser\u201d. A new approach for quantum memory might be realized using two-pulse \u201cphonon echoes\u201d produced by saser radiation in the two-level boron-doped silicon within the superlattice. His incipient idea for a research proposal, borrowed from studies using two pulse \u201cphoton echoes\u201d, is based on the coherent transient interaction between sound, instead of light, and the ions in a semiconductor.<\/p>\n

Dr. Thomas E. Wilson, professor of physics, presented a contributed paper at the Nonlinear Optics Meeting of the Optical Society of America, held July 15-19 at Waikoloa Beach, Hawai\u2019i. His talk was given within the session Terahertz Emission and Propagation, and was titled \u201cEvidence for a Terahertz Acoustic Phonon Phase-Conjugate Oscillator with Distributed Feedback.\u201d Such an oscillator shares many of the characteristics of a Saser (sound amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation), but unlike the two other Sasers reported to date, produces no waste heat. He acknowledged generous support from an WV Science and Technology Opportunity (HEPC) Grant and a Quinlan award.<\/p>\n

Thomas Wilson, Professor of Physics, received an award from the Distinguished Traveling Speaker Program of the Division of Laser Science (DLS) of the American Physical Society. The award allowed the Department of Physics to host a renowned authority on Quantum Optics, Dr. Luis Orozco, Professor of Physics at the University of Maryland. The purpose of the program is to bring distinguished scientists to primarily undergraduate colleges and universities in order to convey the excitement of Laser Science to undergraduate students.<\/p>\n
Professor Orozco visited Marshall for two days (April 3-4) and gave generously of his time and knowledge by presenting two public lectures and two departmental colloquia and also meeting informally with students and faculty. Dr. Orozco also met President Gilbert, Provost Taylor and CoS Dean Somerville.<\/p>\n
