| Physics Building | “Ultra-cold quantum gases for many-body physics and interferometry” |
| I will present the design and construction of an apparatus for generating an ultra-cold Bose-Fermi mixture of 87Rb and 40K on an atom chip at the College of William and Mary. In the near term, the apparatus will support experiments on degenerate fermion interferometry. In the long term, we are directing our efforts towards producing an ultra-cold gas of polar KRb molecules for investigating novel types of bosonic and fermionic superfluidity |

| Physics Building | “Using Semileptonic Decays to search for two gluon couplings in the Eta-prime ” |
| Large branching fractions for hadronic B decays involving the eta^prime (1997) and also in the B semileptonic decay to the eta^prime (2006) could potentially be caused by the extra 2-gluon couplings from the singlet component of the eta^prime meson. Now, for CLEO-C, we look to semileptonic decays of the D meson to the eta^prime to see if there is evidence for enhancement there as well. We make improvements to the “neutrino reconstruction” method used to study B decays, and find that the new algorithm can also be used to simultaneously measure a large number of D hadronic decays as well. |
