Baryon Number Violation: From Nuclear Matrix Elements to BSM Physics (25-91W)

L. Broussard, A. Crivellin, M. Hoferichter, S. Syritsyn

Baryon number violation is required to generate the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe as one of the Sakharov conditions, but has never been experimentally observed.

INTURN

Institute for Nuclear Theory Undergraduate Research Network

The Institute for Nuclear Theory (INT) at the University of Washington (UW) is offering opportunities for undergraduate research in nuclear physics starting in the spring quarter of 2024. This INT Undergraduate Research Network (INTURN) program will host undergraduate students interested in pursuing research in nuclear theory and taking steps toward a career in physics.

Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)

National Science Foundation (NSF)

The REU Physics program at the University of Washington differs from some others in that it covers most subfields of physics. All of the major groups in the department are participating: astrophysics and cosmology, atomic physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, particle physics, physics education, biological physics, and computational physics.
