A Workshop in Honor of the Life and Work of Richard Prange

"Quantum Correlated Matter and Chaos: A workshop in Honor of the Life and Work of Richard Prange" brought together researchers from all over the world, including China, Japan, India, the United States, Israel, Colombia, Brazil and many European countries. Steven Anlage was a scientific Coordinator of the five day workshop which explored areas of overlap in emerging problems in nonlinear dynamics, condensed matter and atomic physics. This combination was inspired by the work of the late Richard Prange, as exchanging ideas between these fields resulted in substantial progress in the past. 

The interdisciplinary workshop covered topics including quantum/wave chaos, correlated materials, topological states of matter, Majorana Fermions, Anderson localization, quantum phase transitions, random matrix theory, nonlinear dynamics, mesoscopic physics and econophysics. In addition to Anlage, UMD's Sankar Das Sarma, Victor Galitski and Victor Yakovenko were among the scientific leaders in attendance. A special talk entitled "Richard Prange and his Physics" was delivered by Das Sarma.

UMD Researchers Continue Search for New Particles, including Dark Matter Particle, with Large Hadron Collider's Second Run

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) started delivering physics data for the first time in 27 months. After an almost two year shutdown and several months re-commissioning, the LHC is now providing collisions to all of its experiments at the unprecedented energy of 13 TeV. This marks the start of season 2 at the LHC, opening the way to new discoveries. The LHC will now run round the clock for the next three years.
