Photosensors for the ND280 detector
By Martin Haigh
I will briefly introduce the theory behind
neutrino oscillations, and even more
briefly discuss the physics goals and
layout of the T2K experiment and
ND280 detector. I will then go on to talk
about the work being done to
characterize silicon photosensors at
Warwick, present some of our results and
indicate how this work needs to be
developed.
Applications of proton-NMR to hydrogen bonded
systems
by John Griffin
Hydrogen-bonding plays a key role in stucture
determination across all areas of biology and
organic chemistry. 1H solid-state NMR can be
used to probe these interactions and give
insight into molecular self assembly on a
microscopic level. However, this approach
suffers from inherently poor resolution, and so
advanced techniques must be used to extract
useful information. This talk outlines some of
the approaches used, and some interesting
results from a range of different systems.
The postgraduate seminar series is a series of informal talks run by
postgraduates for postgraduates. All postgraduates are welcome and
refreshments are always provided!
