Undergraduate STEM Research Seminar: Bo Anthoney Johnson, Indiana University
This week’s Undergraduate STEM Research Seminar will be given by Bo Anthoney Johnson, a graduate student at Indiana University, Bloomington working at Oak Ridge National Lab. Bo studies a process called CEvNS (“sevens”) at the interface of nuclear and particle physics observed for the first time seven years ago. In his talk Exploring the Standard Model with CEvNS, Bo will describe how new precision measurements of this process can teach us about fundamental aspects of the universe. The seminar will be this Friday at 4pm in Bruner Hall 210, with snacks served starting at 3:30pm. These seminars are geared for undergraduates from any STEM major, but graduate students and faculty are also encouraged to attend!
