Astromony in AI Time-Domain Astrophysics, Accelerated with AI

  • Josh Bloom
  • Bailed early… bad

13 April 2026 Monday

Colloq: High-z Transient with JWST (Armin Rest)

  • supernovae: Probes of high-energy physics ?
  • Why is there more variability in Core collapse supernova ? vs Type IA?
  • Not good

Colloq: The physics of protein diffusion controls how cells respond to electric fields

(Brian Camley)

  • Why: Do we care about cell motility ? Sensing limits Injuries create an electric field towards the wound… known for 100years 10-100 mV / mm
  • Good speaker / Good slides … Not sure what I think about the science

17 September 2024 Tuesday

W-mass seminar: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1441575/

  • Subset of 2016 data 16.8/fb (pu = 30)
  • Only use inner tracker to fit muon pt
  • Only use muon pt to fit mW: (Different systematics have different shapes)
    • 3D fit pt/eta/charge
  • Effectively Do dedicated alignment with J/psi include local terms for Bfield distortion and material model
  • Constrain theory uncertainties directly with W data
