SUMMARY:Field Rose Rogers (MIT) "The GAPS Antarctic Balloon Experiment: Low-energy Antinuclei for Dark Matter Detection"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:   \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDespite overwhelming evidence of abundant dark matter in the Universe\, the nature of this material remains a mystery. The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is an upcoming NASA Antarctic balloon mission to search for signatures of dark matter annihilation or decay in the fluxes of low-energy (<0.25 GeV/n) cosmic antinuclei. GAPS will produce a precision cosmic antiproton spectrum extending to an unexplored low-energy regime\, with sensitivity to light dark matter models\, primordial black holes\, and cosmic-ray propagation. GAPS will also either provide the first unambiguous detection of a cosmic-ray antideuteron or exclude the viable dark matter models that predict a low-energy antideuteron flux orders of magnitude above the astrophysical background. To identify these rare low-energy antinuclei while rejecting the abundant positive- nucleus backgrounds\, GAPS pioneers a novel exotic atom-based particle identification technique\, which relies on a system of >10 m2 of large-area high-temperature lithium-drifted silicon (Si(Li)) detectors. I will discuss the GAPS science program\, with a special emphasis on the exotic atom method of particle identification and the Si(Li) detectors that are central to its success. \n\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/92582314131?pwd=djVvMUp5US9zd2tKT0s3cDdBVTY2QT09 \nMeeting ID: 925 8231 4131\nPasscode: 234326\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,92582314131#\,\,\,\,*234326# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,92582314131#\,\,\,\,*234326# 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+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 925 8231 4131\nPasscode: 234326\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/acbbUKT6Fg \nJoin by SIP\n92582314131@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: 925 8231 4131\nPasscode: 234326 \n──────────
