SPC space/plasma seminar – Vicente Valenzuela-Villaseca (LLNL) – Tues 21st July 11 AM

2026-07-15T09:38:22+01:00

Collisionless shocks are ubiquitous structures in the universe that can be found in planetary magnetospheres, supernova remnants, and when galaxies merge inside a cluster. In a collisionless shock, collective fields provide complex nonlinear and kinetic interactions that can support collisionless/anomalous heating mechanisms in the plasma. Consequently, there is no generally accepted theory of particle energy partitioning and heating in collisionless shocks. Electron and ion temperatures are obtained by spacecraft measurement of planetary bow-shocks and analysis supernova remnant spectra exhibit large statistical variance of the inferred energy partition, and particle-in-cell simulations often cannot reproduce electron-ion temperature ratios measured in nature. Laboratory experiments offer a complementary approach to satellite measurements and astronomical observations.

In this talk, I will present results from magnetized collisionless shock laboratory experiments at conditions relevant to planetary bow-shocks (MA~ 8,  ~ 3). We report the first laboratory observation of fully developed shocks (×3.6 compression ratio and a downstream region decoupled from the piston). The data indicate the presence of a foot ahead of the density discontinuity, where both electrons and ions exhibit significant super-adiabatic heating. Surprisingly, the downstream exhibits significant super-adiabatic heating of both species with electrons and ions in thermal equipartition, with an order-unity electron-ion downstream temperature ratio Te/Ti ~ 0.8. This temperature ratio is inconsistent with a combination of adiabatic compression and electron-ion collisional equilibration; thus, it provides the first laboratory evidence of collisionless anomalous heating in a fully developed perpendicular magnetized collisionless shock [1].

Title: Assimilating phytoplankton carbon in marine ecosystem modelling

Abstract:

The state of the marine ecosystem can be estimated by combining numerical models and satellite observations through data assimilation (DA). Satellite products representing phytoplankton chlorophyll, derived from ocean colour observations, are widely used in operational marine ecosystem prediction as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass. However, phytoplankton carbon products, although long available, are not yet widely assimilated. A new phytoplankton carbon product from the ESA-funded BICEP project has recently been derived through an alternative processing of ocean colour, providing complementary information on phytoplankton biomass to chlorophyll alone. We therefore expect that assimilating phytoplankton carbon, especially together with chlorophyll, can provide a more balanced update to the marine ecosystem state.

In this talk, I will present the development of a global ensemble DA system based on the coupled ocean–biogeochemistry model NEMO-MEDUSA and the Parallel Data Assimilation Framework (PDAF). PDAF provides a flexible and efficient infrastructure for implementing ensemble-based DA, allowing us to assimilate new biogeochemical variables and evaluate time-dependent forecast uncertainty in a global marine ecosystem model. In addition, we will introduce a newly developed diagnostic tool that is used to quantify the uncertainties in observation and forecast errors. We will demonstrate its application to the errors of the new carbon product and their correlations with errors in the chlorophyll products. The results highlight both the potential value of phytoplankton carbon assimilation and the importance of flexible ensemble DA frameworks for developing future marine ecosystem prediction systems.

RNA processing dynamics across cell states and fates from single-cell snapshot data

With single-cell genomics datasets, it is possible to assay the transcriptome in thousands to millions of cells as they undergo development, differentiation and external perturbation. These data are ripe for investigation into how regulation of RNA processing governs the myriad cell states comprising these systems. However, despite our ability to assay these states, single-cell data is sparse and noisy, a result of both innate biological features of the RNA molecules and technical effects in RNA capture and sequencing. Standard analyses often rely on heuristic application of dimensionality reductions to remove noise, and focus on mean-level (observational) changes in gene expression to define cell states.

Here we demonstrate how stochastic, biophysical models of RNA processing can be applied to snapshot single-cell data to reveal underlying mechanisms of observed gene expression patterns across heterogenous cell states. By explicitly realizing the biophysical and technical processes underlying the sparse, discrete molecular data, we can reveal altered dynamics of bursty transcription, splicing and degradation between populations of cells. We can additionally resolve heterogeneous regulation within these populations, and propose combinatorial strategies of regulation guiding these distinct fates. Together this work enables hypothesis-driven experimentation by proposing key points of transcriptional regulation underlying higher-level changes in gene expression and noise.

Quantum Learning Quantum: Quantum Computers and AI

2026-07-03T10:33:17+01:00

Join the Department of Physice for a public talk entitled Quantum Learning Quantum: Quantum Computers and AI.

Professor Gerard Milburn, Quantum Fellow at the UK’s NQCC, willl share his vision of how quantum computers and AI could transform science.

Galileo’s great insight was that we can learn about the world by building devices that reveal simple, reproducible phenomena. We push on the world, and the world pushes back. More than a century ago, scientists discovered that some experiments produced a startling result: the world is quantum.

Quantum theory is famously strange, yet we now understand it well enough to put it to work. Quantum technologies aim to harness and control the quantum world in ways that can make us wealthier, healthier and safer. In this talk, Professor Milburn will describe the quantum technologies that are already beginning to change our lives, including quantum computing. Looking ahead, he will explore how the combination of quantum computing and embedded artificial intelligence could create “self-driving laboratories” that accelerate scientific discovery and open the door to technologies beyond our current imagination.

Please note – online attendance is now also available, and registration for this is essential through the following link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/online-public-talk-quantum-learning-quantum-quantum-computers-and-ai-tickets-1993782281475

Attosecond ionization dynamics: from perturbative to strong field.

2026-07-09T11:25:06+01:00

Speaker

Professor Alexandra Landsman
The Ohio State University

Abstract:

Recent advances in X‑ray free‑electron laser (XFEL) technology have opened new opportunities to probe photoionization dynamics on attosecond timescales and to access strong‑field regimes at X‑ray wavelengths that were previously experimentally inaccessible. In this talk, I will discuss two complementary classes of XFEL experiments that together illuminate the timing and mechanisms of electron emission in atoms and molecules. First, I will address attosecond photoemission delays measured using circular streaking techniques, with a focus on extending ionization‑delay chronoscopy from linearly to circularly polarized probes. I will also address the challenges of interpreting streaking delays at low photoelectron energies. Second, I will present recent theoretical work exploring a new non‑perturbative strong‑field X‑ray regime, where multiphoton above‑threshold ionization (ATI) is driven by attosecond XFEL pulses. In helium, this regime produces distinct angular and spectral signatures that are clearly separated from perturbative harmonic contributions. Together, these studies demonstrate how XFELs enable both quantitative attosecond chronoscopy and fundamental tests of strong‑field ionization physics at short wavelengths, establishing a foundation for future experiments in atoms and molecules.
