Abstract: With the 1-3 mixing angle measured at reator neutrino experiments, Daya Bay and RENO, there are still three unknown oscillation variables, the neutrino mass hierarchy, the octant of the atmospheric mixing angle, and the leptonic CP phase. Of these three, the CP phase is the most difficult to measure precisely and important for distinguishing flavor symmetries. I will first talk about residual symmetries, which takes the role as low energy effective field theory for neutrino mixing and is analogy of custodial symmetry in the electroweak sector, to predict the CP phase from the measured mixing angles. Then I introduce a new type of neutrino experiment to measure the CP phase. Currently, T2K, NOvA, and DUNE are designed for CP measurement. Nevertheless, they suffer from problems of degeneracy, efficiency, uncertainty, non-unitary mixing and non-standard interaction. All of them can be improved by simply adding a muon decay at rest (muDAR) source to T2(H)K, for example. The same configuration can also apply to next-generation medium baseline reactor neutrino experiments like JUNO and RENO-50, enhancing their physics potential from only mass hierarchy to also CP. With only one source and no extra detectors, this dessign is much better than DAEdLAS which requires 3 sources, but only 20% duty factor and 4 times higher luminosity for each.

In the past decade, whispering gallery microcavities have been emerging as powerful tools for nanodetection and biosensing. This talk reviews experimental and numerical techniques for whispering gallery microcavity sensing. On the experiment side, an overview of sensing techniques such as reactive, mode splitting, active and plasmonic enhanced sensing along with the reference interferometric enhancement will be discussed. In particular, optomechanical sensing down to single molecule resolution will be presented in detail. On the numerical side, modelling techniques such as beam propagation, mode matching and boundary element methods and their applications to simulating wave propagating behavior in microcavities will also be discussed.

This talk presents two works recently submitted to the Astrophysical Journal. One is on the scaling relation and a simple analytic model of Earth-like rocky planets. From it, the interior gravity, density, and pressure profiles of these planets are estimated and compared. The moment of inertia and energy contents of such planets are also evaluated. The other is on the variational (or action) principle of planetary interiors. From it, a general second-order differential equation applicable to all planetary interiors is obtained. Combined with equations of states (EOS), this equation derives (1) self-similar solutions for power-law EOS, which are equivalent to the Lane-Emden equation results known in astrophysics, (2) a universal mass-radius relation applicable to two-layer rocky planets with arbitrary core mass fraction (CMF), and (3) a new form and understanding of virial theorem. These two papers are available on astrozeng.com and ArXiv.org: 「A Simple Analytical Model for Rocky Planet Interior」. Li Zeng, and Stein Jacobsen. submitted to ApJ.

We present an algorithmic to construct multiple fibration in Elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds with section. We can perform Deligne procedure and Jacobian procedure to get the Weierstrass form and the associated 6D effective field theory for F-theory for arbitrary elliptic fibration Calabi-Yau threefolds. Then we analyze the shared F-theory duality in 6D through F/M-theory limit in 5D. In the same framework, we studied the Het/F-theory duality in 6D and 4D.

In strongly correlated electron materials (CEMs), the delicate interplay between spin, charge,and lattice degrees of freedom often leads to extremely rich phase diagrams exhibiting intrinsic phase inhomogeneities. The key to studying and disentangling such complexities usually lies in the characterization and control of these materials at fundamental energy, time and length scales. I will use this opportunity to report the recent advances in the IR and THz spectroscopy and explain how they can be used to probe electronic/structural phase transitions with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolutions. Specifically, with scanning near-field infrared microscopy we resolved the insulator to metal phase transitions with ~10 nm resolution over a broad spectral range. Using ultrafast terahertz pump terahertz probe spectroscopy we can unambiguously demonstrated the insulator to metal transition at picosecond time scales via electric field-induced electron liberation. These results set the stage for future spectroscopic investigations to access the fundamental properties of complex materials.
9Comparative studies of pseudogap physics in Charge Density Wave (CDW) materials and cuprate High Temperature Superconductors (HTSCs)報告人:Utpal Chatterjee,University of Virginia (UVA)

Charge density waves (CDWs) and superconductivity are canonical examples of symmetry breaking in materials. Both are characterized by a complex order parameter – namely an amplitude and a phase. In the limit of weak coupling and in the absence of disorder, the formation of pairs (electron-electron for superconductivity, electron-hole for CDWs) and the establishment of macroscopic phase coherence both occur at the transition temperature Tc that marks the onset of long-range order. But, the situation may be drastically different at strong coupling or in the presence of disorder. We have performed extensive experimental investigations on pristine and intercalated samples of 2H-NbSe2, a transition metal dichalcogenide CDW material with strong electron-phonon coupling, using a combination of structural (X-ray), spectroscopic (photoemission and tunnelling) and transport probes. We find that Tc(d) is suppressed as a function of the intercalation-concentration d and eventually vanishes at a critical value of d=dc leading to quantum phase transition (QPT). Our integrated approach provides clear signatures that the phase of the order parameter becomes incoherent at the quantum/ thermal phase transition, although the amplitude remains finite over an extensive region above Tc or beyond dc. This leads to the persistence of a gap in the electronic spectra in the absence of long-range order, a phenomenon strikingly similar to the so-called pseudogap in completely different systems such as high temperature superconductors, disordered superconducting thin films and cold atoms.

實現地震的科學預測,必須了解:(1)地震能量積累過程以及地震前兆形成和傳播原理;(2)地震發生的物理機制。基於固體連續介質原理的傳統地震學,對於這些問題或沒有認識,或觀點不正確。是由於對物理原理及其適用範圍理解的偏差,同時沒有運用新發展的物理學知識。我們依據地殼和地幔離散構造及其慢動力學變化過程基本事實,運用近年凝聚態物理學發展的新觀念和原理,從新的視角對地震機理進行了深入探討,獲得了與傳統觀點不同的新認識,可回答以前不能理解的許多地震學問題,並指出了地震預測原理和途徑。國際地震界普遍認為地震不可預測,還源於對地震原理沒有正確認識和對「自組織臨界性(SOC)」的誤解。

We are witnessing and participating the grand discovery of various topological states of matter. In this talk, I will introduce time-reversal-invariant topological superconductivity and its two experimental realizations in one dimension. Each boundary hosts one Majorana Kramers pair, producing tabletop supersymmetry, quantized tunneling conductance, and fractional Josephson effects beyond Kitaev’s classification. I will then highlight the tantalizing roles played by the many-body interactions. One prime example is the emergence of quadruple periodicity and fractionalized parafermions in a Josephson junction. Another paradigmatic setup is a weakly probed floating topological superconductor, in which a two-channel Kondo ground state becomes topologically stabilized.

Recently, great progress has been made as a result of the rapid expansion in the range of modern microscopies. However, even if they have achieved remarkable, the problem still remains of providing powerful high-resolution spectroscopic tools for probing at a mesoscopic-scale. For such a result, the characterization of the electronic structure directly responsible for chemical bonds, electrical transport and the thermal and mechanical properties should be accurately accomplished. Hence, not only the study of core levels and chemical shifts should be resolved but also and more importantly, a complete and comprehensive description of the electronic bandstructure with high lateral, energy and momentum resolution should be fulfilled. Bearing in mind this need, we have recently developed a novel X-ray microscope, labeled, k-microscope or Nano-ARPES (Nano Angle Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy) at the ANTARES beamline of SOLEIL, particularly well suited to provide both chemical and electronic information in the real and reciprocal space of mesoscopic and nano-samples. It is a cutting-edge technique able of determining the electronic properties of the materils, not only with high resolution in energy, angle and momentum, but also with high lateral resolution, at the nano- and meso-scale. In this presentation, the latest published and unpublished results of the ANTARES k-microscope will be disclosed.
