- Jonathan Zarling (University of Regina)
Accreting neutron stars host a variety of astronomical observables which can be compared to model calculations to obtain dense matter constraints. However, key observables such as X-ray bursts and crust cooling are directly influenced by the structure of atomic nuclei involved in these processes. I will demonstrate the sensitivity of astrophysical models of accreting neutron star phenomena to...
During neutron star black hole collision events, 20 percent of the binding energy is released in the form of neutrinos. These mergers form a black hole with a disk of matter accreting into it. The neutrino signal observed on earth will depend on where the neutrinos become free from the system; this is called the neutrino surface. The neutrino surface can be determined based on hydrodynamic...
A long-standing goal of hadron physics has been to understand how the quark and gluon degrees of freedom that are present in the fundamental QCD Lagrangian manifest themselves in the spectrum of hadrons.
The GlueX experiment at Jefferson lab contributes to the global spectroscopy program using 8-9~GeV linearly polarized photons. This experiment focuses on the exploration of the light-quark...
