Join the Department of Physics for its first physics seminar of the fall 2024 semester at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 4 in 226 Jabara Hall. The talk features Joseph Haley from Oklahoma State University, and the title of the talk will be “Searching for Naturalness: Quest for Vector-Like Quarks.” Cookies and coffee will be available in 030 Jabara Hall preceding the seminar at 1:30 p.m.
Haley’s research since joining OSU has been based on the ATLAS experiment at CERN where his team is searching for signs of new fundamental particles. He primary focus is searching for vector-like quarks — hypothetical particles that appear in many extensions to the Standard Model that could provide answers some of the open questions in particle physics.
