Teaching STEM Courses using Ignatian Pedagogy
Gintaras Duda
Despite the impact of the Jesuit educational endeavor on the rise of science, the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm (IPP), the signature Jesuit pedagogy, is not frequently used to teac…
Improving Student Self-Confidence in Quantum Computing with the Qubit Touchdown Board Game
Kristina Armbruster, Gintaras Duda, Thomas G. Wong
Qubit Touchdown is a two-player, competitive board game that was developed to introduce students to quantum computing. A quantum computer is a new kind of computer that is based on…
Les Houches 2011: Physics at TeV Colliders New Physics Working Group Report
G. Brooijmans, B. Gripaios, F. Moortgat +141
We present the activities of the "New Physics" working group for the "Physics at TeV Colliders" workshop (Les Houches, France, 30 May-17 June, 2011). Our report includes new agreem…
Dark Matter: A Primer
Katherine Garrett, Gintaras Duda
Dark matter is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in cosmology at the present time. About 80% of the universe's gravitating matter is non-luminous, and its nature and distribut…
Blogging in the physics classroom: A research-based approach to shaping students' attitudes towards physics
Gintaras Duda, Katherine Garrett
Even though there has been a tremendous amount of research done in how to help students learn physics, students are still coming away missing a crucial piece of the puzzle: why bot…
Model Independent Form Factors for Spin Independent Neutralino-Nucleon Scattering from Elastic Electron Scattering Data
Gintaras Duda, Ann Kemper, Paolo Gondolo
Theoretical calculations of neutralino-nucleon interaction rates with various nuclei are of great interest to direct dark matter searches such as CDMS, EDELWEISS, ZEPLIN, and other…
Indirect detection of a subdominant density component of cold dark matter
Gintaras Duda, Graciela Gelmini, Paolo Gondolo +2
We examine the detectability through indirect means of weakly interacting dark matter candidates that may constitute not all but only a subdominant component of galactic cold dark…
Expected Signals in Relic Neutrino Detectors
Gintaras Duda, Graciela Gelmini, Shmuel Nussinov
Here we estimate the magnitude of the signals expected for realistic cosmic neutrino backgrounds in detectors attempting to measure the mechanical forces exerted on macroscopic tar…
Detectability of a subdominant density component of cold dark matter
Gintaras Duda, Graciela Gelmini, Paolo Gondolo
Here we examine the detectability of collisionless dark matter candidates that may constitute not all but only a subdominant component of galactic cold dark matter. We show that cu…
