SUMMARY:Vetri Velan (UC Berkeley) “The Present and Future of Dark Matter Direct Detection”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:
  \nDark matter is one of the primary unsolved problems in modern particle physics. Since the late 1980s\, physicists have been trying to directly detect dark matter particles passing through the Earth\, typically by searching for nuclear recoils. This search has been unsuccessful so far\, but I will discuss recent advancements and upcoming technologies that offer a promising path forward. First\, I will present xenon time projection chambers\, including the LUX and LUX-ZEPLIN experiments\, as the best strategy for detecting Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). I will explain how understanding energy deposition in liquid xenon allows us to test the remaining WIMP parameter space\, and I will discuss recent data-driven and simulation-driven advancements in this field. Second\, I will discuss calorimetry as a tool for probing dark matter models below the WIMP scale\, with masses on the order of 1-1000 MeV/c2. I will describe the TESSERACT project\, using transition-edge sensors to achieve unprecedented sensitivity to a variety of dark matter interactions. \n\n\nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/ \nIf you are looking to confirm if there is an event\, due to room reservation\, please go to RPM website for a list of all scheduled talks.\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/99788515717?pwd=YXhCSXRFSGZhZlE3dEJLeFRTNGF0UT09 \nMeeting ID: 997 8851 5717\nPasscode: 113722\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,99788515717#\,\,\,\,*113722# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,99788515717#\,\,\,\,*113722# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 997 8851 5717\nPasscode: 113722\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/aibvGbITC \nJoin by SIP\n99788515717@zoomcrc.com \nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 997 8851 5717\nPasscode: 113722 \n──────────
