PhD. Thesis Defense — Chao Shi — The Dynamics of Black Holes in First Galaxies

Boggs 1-90 VizLab

Abstract: Black holes(BHs) as massive as 10^9 solar masses has been discovered at redshift z >6, that is within one billion years after the big bang. It is believed that some seed black hole with large initial masses formed at very early times, which then grow to the supermassive black holes we observe at z … Continue reading "PhD.

Revealing the Neutrino through Double-Beta Decay   Characterization of the elusive neutrino has been the goal of many experiments over recent years, yet many fundamental properties of this elementary particle remain unknown. As the only neutral Standard Model fermion, it is possible that the neutrino is a Majorana particle, i.e. it's own anti-particle. This intriguing … Continue reading "CRA special seminar (Jacob Daughhetee)"
