Heavy Quark Physics at Kennesaw State University

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Full Summary: No summary paragraph submitted.

School of Physics Colloquium: Prof. David Joffe, Kennesaw State University

Kennesaw State University is a member institution in the Belle and Belle II experiments based at the KEK laboratory in Tsukuba, Japan. Both Belle and Belle II focus on the physics of heavy quarks (bottom and charm) and KSU is involved in searches for rare decays of these quarks which probe the off-diagonal elements of the CKM matrix. Our KSU group is also involved in developing machine learning techniques for particle identification as well as distributed computing for Belle II. In both physics analysis and software development our group seeks to develop undergraduate researchers and works with our national laboratory partners to allow KSU students to participate in the Department of Energy SULI summer internship program. This talk will be an introduction to the work of our group in terms of both physics analysis and software development, as well as student participation.
