The search for physics beyond standard model in LHC experiments has been strong interest. However, we have yet been able to discover new physics through model dependent search. Recent developments in machine learning offers great potential in the direction of model independent search. The LHC Olympics 2020 is a challenge for researchers to determine whether there are BSM events in black box...

At particle colliders, there exists a subset of events where the distance between the interacting particles is actually greater than the sum of their radii, yet they are still able to interact electromagnetically. These are known as ultra-peripheral collisions, and such collisions between protons and lead nuclei offer a unique probe of the parton structure of the proton. By utilizing...

How do we know what planets are made of when we can't send rovers out to dig up dirt and sample the air? Transmission spectroscopy! When exoplanets transit their host stars, they transmit and absorb starlight differently depending on the types of gases present in their atmosphere. Knowing the types of gases and their concentrations is important to understanding how these planets formed and...

Current lithium ion batteries are facing not only a sustainability issue but also an energy density mismatch issue between the cathode and anode. There is a sufficient need to look for alternate materials for this purpose, one such material being V2O5. On top of being able to host lithium it can also host more terrestrially abundant ions such as: Na, Mg, Zn, Ca, K and Al. V2O5 however can...

Crustal magnetic fields were first discovered at Mars by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) mission (Acuña et al., 1998). Since then, there have been several crustal field models and maps produced, as well as many missions to Mars to better study the crustal fields. The crustal fields are thought to influence ion loss from the planet, so having a precise understanding of the structure of these...
