Hello, Math Students and all interested parties:

Please join us for the weekly

The aim of this presentation is to accurately describe how quantum tunneling enables nuclear fusion in plasmas such as the sun. To this end, we will examine models of fusion via supercomputer simulation and compare the results with experiments. The construction of the HSU supercomputer and its current uses will also be discussed.

Kenneth Owens holds a Ph.D. from the University of Southern California. Steven Margell is a M.S. candidate in Environmental Systems. Brian Page is an HSU Computer Science undergraduate and prospective Ph.D. student at Notre Dame; Matt Hall is an HSU Computer Science undergraduate and Canyon Robbins is an Arcata High School senior and prospective Stanford University freshman.

Don't forget coffee, tea and goodies at the Pre-Colloquium Tea at 3:30 in the 3rd Floor Open Area in the BSS building.
