When charged particles are placed in a magnetic field, the single-particle energy states form discrete, highly-degenerate Landau levels. Since all states within a Landau level have the same energy,…
Topological photonics is a rapidly developing field, often drawing inspirations from the recent successes in electronic systems. Yet there are a few major differences between photons and electrons, leading to…
The histories of physics and astronomy at Penn will be presented primarily through the lives of prominent individuals, culminating in the 1994 merger of the Physics and Astronomy Departments. We…
Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is 10-year long NSF and DOE-funded experiment that will soon begin an unprecedented movie of half of the sky, tracking changes from…

In this talk, I’ll survey some of the major open questions in particle physics and make the case that they can best be addressed by a qualitatively new type of particle accelerator: a high-energy muon…
