Abstract: Layered heterostructures, formed one monolayer at a time, have been shown to host exotic emergent properties at the interfaces where two monolayers meet...

Abstract: Stellar core collapses create enormous bursts of tens-of-MeV neutrinos on a timescale of a few tens of seconds after collapse and preceding optical fireworks by hours or days. These neutrinos can be observed in underground neutrino detectors worldwide. The neutrinos themselves carry directional information that can be exploited to determine the position of the supernova (or of the compact remnant, in the case of failed explosion) on the sky. I will give an overview of methods for low-latency pointing to core-collapse events with neutrino detectors.
About Kate Scholberg
Kate Scholberg is the Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of Physics and a Bass Fellow at Duke University. Scholberg’s broad research interests include experimental elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, and cosmology; her specific interests in neutrino physics lie at the intersection of these areas. Scholberg is a member of the Super-Kamiokande, Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K), and Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) neutrino experimental collaborations. She is the spokesperson of the COHERENT experiment, a neutrino scattering experiment located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory; and a co-founder of SNEWS (the SuperNova Early Warning System), a global network of neutrino observatories. Scholberg received a bachelor's degree in physics from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, and Ph.D. in physics from the California Institute of Technology. She joined Duke University in 2004.
