  1. PHYSICS DEPARTMENT NEWS AND EVENTS Welcome to the ACFI ! ATLAS Theory LUZ/LZ EXO

  2. PHYSICS DEPARTMENT NEWS AND EVENTS Our mission: We seek answers to key open ques0ons about nature’s fundamental interac0ons, such as: Advancing research in theore0cal and experimental physics at the interface of the Energy, Intensity, and Cosmic fron0ers. Why is there more ma=er than an0-ma=er in the Universe? What addi0onal forces were ac0ve during the first http://www.physics.umass.edu/acfi / moments aDer the Big Bang? How are protons and neutrons put together?

  3. PHYSICS DEPARTMENT NEWS AND EVENTS Ac/vi/es Core Research (in house): ATLAS, EXO, LUX/LZ, J Lab • parity & chiral, RHIC Spin, Borexino, Theory Targeted Workshops: Hadronic Probes, Lambda & • Quasi Lambda, Higgs Portal,… Visi/ng Researchers: Ph.D. students (Australia, • China), post-docs, faculty & senior researchers

  11. PHYSICS DEPARTMENT NEWS AND EVENTS This Workshop: Mo/va/on & Goals What is the path forward for improving our understanding of γγ γγ • exchange in semileptonic processes? How reliable are the present contribu/ons of Z γ and W γ boxes for • nucleons and nuclei ? What addi/onal theore/cal developments/computa/ons are • needed? Is there a program of experimental measurements that could be • used to refine theore/cal predic/ons ?
