Journal Club and Seminars on Particle Phenomenology

Written by ICTP-SAIFR on April 16th, 2013. Posted in

The Journal Club on Particle Phenomenology takes place usually on Thursdays at 10:30am (in lecture room #2). In general it is divided in two parts:

1) The “what got me interested this week” part, in which people comment on papers they have found recently but not necessarily read. The idea is to have a quick pass at the level of the abstract of the paper, so we are up to date and can see if anyone is interested in reading some of the papers in more depth (which leads us to the second part)

2) Someone leads a deeper discussion of a single paper. The idea is to have someone on the blackboard presenting the paper, but the audience is also supposed to have read it. These papers will be selected with as much antecedence as possible, possibly selected from ones selected from the first part of the JCs.

The Seminars on Particle Phenomenology are scheduled according to the possibility of speakers to give specialized talks on their recent work.

Energetic Approach to Food Webs

Written by nadia on March 26th, 2013. Posted in

Start time: June 17

Ends on: June 21

Venue: São Paulo, Brazil

Organizers: Roberto A. Kraenkel (IFT-UNESP), Paulo Inácio Prado (IB-USP), Lucas Faria (UFLA)

Lecturers: Kevin McCann and Gabriel Gellner (Guelph University, Canada)

Lecture 1: The Dynamics of the C-R model: The Base Module for Food Webs (McCann)
Lecture 2: Stabilizing Mechanisms and Food Web Modules (McCann)
Lecture 3: Food Webs in Space (McCann)
Lecture 4: The Statistical Mechanics of Whole Food Webs (Gellner)

Description:

This course will look at the role energetics play in mediating the structure and dynamics of consumer-resource interactions. We will unfold a simple set of principles on the role of energy in simple food web modules before exploring this framework in more complex food webs.
This course will emphasize, where possible, the interaction between theory and data. Additionally, lectures will be broken up into a lecture section and a lab section, which will have material that allows students to explore the dynamics within a “computer laboratory” setting (run by Kevin McCann and Gabriel Gellner).

The main reference of this course is the recently (2011) published book by Kevin S. MacCann, “Food Webs”, which appeared in the Monographs on Population Biology, published by the Princeton University Press.

Corrigan minicourse on classical and quantum integrability

Written by Nathan on November 24th, 2012. Posted in

Speaker: Edward Corrigan (York University)

Title: Aspects of classical and quantum integrability

Description: The purpose of these lectures is to give an introduction to some of the ideas that underpin the notion of integrability, both its classical origins and properties within systems with finitely many degrees of freedom or nonlinear two-dimensional field theories such as sine-Gordon or Toda field theory, together with some of the methods used to determine properties of the associated quantum field theories, such as their spectrum of states and scattering. More recently investigated properties of systems with one or two boundaries, or containing impurities or defects will be discussed briefly. It is intended to keep the presentation at a level suitable for those with no previous experience of the topics yet also to provide some reasonably detailed examples alongside a broader perspective.
