Jelle Aalbers (Stockholm U) “XENON1T: When All Other Lights Go Out”
December 10, 2019 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Abstract:
Direct detection experiments create the most radioactively quiet spots on earth, to reveal collisions between dark and ordinary matter. XENON1T, the most sensitive such experiment currently, will soon be succeeded by LZ and XENONnT. This talk highlights XENON1T’s recent light dark matter search results, and modern analysis techniques — full online processing, and tensorflow-based profile likelihoods — to boost the physics reach of future direct detection experiments and other rare-event searches.
