Simons Lecturers
The bequest by the Simons Foundation will be used
this year to sponsor two special lecturers who
will visit the department for a week or more and
give a combination of colloquium and seminar
level talks. The lecturers will also be
available for discussions and interactions with
students and faculty. Lecturers were chosen to
present recent theoretical advances of physics
and astronomy, and to represent theoretical
fields not strongly represented at Stony Brook.
Paul Steinhardt of Princeton University will
talk on alternatives to big bang cosmology and
quasi-crystals during his visit from Oct. 25
29. (Host Bill Weisberger) Sir Michael Berry of
the University of Bristol will discuss optical
singularities, chaos and Riemann zeroes,
non-hermitian degeneracies and asymptotic
oscillatory phenomena. He will visit Jan. 31

PHYSICS AND MATH BUILDING MASONRY REPAIR
STATUS Masonry probes were performed in 2003 to
determine the condition of the masonry facade,
corner soldier brick courses, masonry column
enclosures, and relieving angle structures by all
the windows. Scope of Work for the masonry
repairs are defined. Budgetary Cost estimates
for masonry repair and new roof were completed
1.86M We are at the top of the list -- Hoping
for the NY State budget to pass! Over the past
year, many repairs made to the AC systems on the
roof new catchment trays for condensate water,
redo plumbing. So far, the most awful leaks seem
to be gone!
32
Research highlights of the past year
This year I asked for one slide that represents
the work of each of the research groupings. Thus
this summary is NOT complete, but I hope that it
gives the students a flavor for the research
opportunities that the Department
offers. Organizing principle for areas is from
smallest to largest.
The physics mistakes in presenting these are
mine!!

Twistor superstrings(Nair Witten Roiban,
Spradlin, Volovich Berkovits Vafa ...)
W. Siegel

• Old idea (1988), recently revived and extended
  (December, 2003)
• New string theories, for just 4 dimensions
• Actually describe particles, not strings
• Tailored to describe Quantum Chromodynamics (as
  part of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills)
• Directly give known simple results for tree
  graphs (Born approximation scattering)
• Much simpler than Feynman diagrams possible
  replacement
• Use topology, twistors, superspace, worldsheet
  instantons
• May generalize to new kinds of QCD strings
• Work by Stony Brook people Roiban (former
  student) Berkovits (former postdoc) Siegel
  (faculty) Giombi, Ricci, Robles-Llana,
  Trancanelli (students)
• One of the topics at the Simons Workshop here,
  Superstrings Topological Strings, July 26 -
  August 27, 2004

Stringy ideas are now influencing understanding
of phenomena observed in the lab may lead to
ability to calculate complex higher order
supersymmetry processes at LHC.

Experiments at RHIC
overlapped nucleons
In central collisions the particle production
associated with both mesons and baryons in Au
Au is similar and significantly higher than
observed in pp and dAu collisions. This
suggests that baryons are produced in jets,
rather than by recombination of thermal quarks.
Particles near trigger

A. Sickles, B. Jacak
Run-3 submitted to PRL
Study p0 production asymmetry (ALL) from two
polarized protons. This asymmetry is sensitive
to the fraction of the proton spin carried by
gluons. First publication (A. Deshpande et al.)
established the technique and the polarization
measurement. The result is consistent with DIS
measurement of gluon contribution to proton spin.
Run 5 will refine the measurement and help
unravel the proton spin crisis

COLLIMATING ATOMS WITH THE BICHROMATIC FORCE
FOCUSING ATOMS WITH A DC ELECTRIC FIELD
Its HUGE, and it spans a HUGE velocity range!!!
This is a new domain for atom optics and control.
Electrostatic forces act on neutral atoms ONLY
through an induced dipole moment, a process
efficient ONLY in Rydberg atoms. Here the Rydberg
states (high n) have been produced by a novel
process and focused to a small spot. (Thesis of
Oleg Kritsun).
The bichromatic force offers a new domain of
optical forces to exploit for control of atomic
motion. Here it collimates a metastable He beam
to high intensity and brightness for use in
atomic lithography. (Thesis of Matt Partlow).

• A wealth of exciting physics and astronomy has
  emerged your work over the past year. I have
  only scratched the surface (more reports to come
  in colloquia, seminars, Friday presentations)
• The students, research associates and faculty at
  Stony Brook are recognized as being at the
  leading edge in many of the most important areas
  of science.
• We welcome the new students to our community,
  and wish you every success in the exciting
  enterprises to come.
