In our recent work [1], we introduced a novel approach, the Dipole-Driven Model (DDM), for characterizing the fusion process of two heavy ions within the entrance channel. The DDM utilizes the dipole variable as an authentic shape parameter to describe the configuration of the colliding heavy ions, with shape parametrization performed at the neck region. This allows for the optimization of the...
Unveiling the routes galaxies take to quiescence is one of the most open challenges in galaxy evolution. While the most of studies focused on characterizing quiescent galaxies (QG) across cosmic time through their stellar properties using optical/near-infrared (NIR) data, the mid-infrared regime was only recently examined thanks to the advent of JWST. The need to understand the MIR emission in...
The direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs) by the LIGO Science Collaboration marked the beginning of a new era in astronomy, allowing us to probe previously inaccessible realms of the universe. Among the most exciting prospects in this field is the detection of gravitationally lensed GWs, which could reveal valuable insights about intervening mass distributions in space. While much...
In the upcoming muon collider, high-energy collisions between muons and antimuons will reach center-of-mass energies up to 10 TeV. Decays of these muons in the beam pipe will produce a high-energy muon neutrino beam. The energy and intensity of the beam, as well as its well-known energy spectrum, provide a unique opportunity to study neutrino properties and interactions, potentially...
Nuclear chirality, a phenomenon known for only 27 years, is being found in more and more different nuclei, around 60 isotopes found to date. Nuclear chirality can occur in the excited state when the nuclei is triaxially deformed.
In this seminar, I will show why and how we examine excited states in nuclei, what is the nuclear chirality, and how it can be found. I will also show the final...
Weak gravitational lensing remaps the primordial anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), contaminating the measurements of cosmological parameters. Estimating the lensing potential field and delensing the CMB maps of high sensitivity experiments are crucial for improving cosmological measurements. However, one of the main obstacles for these tasks is the presence of foreground...
Recent advancements in time-domain surveys have significantly increased the detection of various explosive transient events across the universe, including supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, fast radio bursts, and gravitational waves (GWs). Some of these events can manifest as multiple images due to gravitational lensing. While numerous strongly lensed distant galaxies and quasars have been...
Studying high-energy hadronic scattering processes to understand the structure of nuclei has been the focus of experimental and theoretical studies for more than three decades now. The Color Glass Condensate (CGC) effective theory has been developed and used to study particularly high-energy dilute-dense collisions. One of the main approximations adopted in the Color Glass Condensate is the...
Observational facilities such as Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have propelled astronomy into a new era. With an increasing influx of observations, we are encountering cosmic objects that challenge our theoretical frameworks. Especially, recent studies reporting abnormally high gas and dust reservoirs in the galaxies challenge our...
