SUMMARY:Speaker: Roohi Dalal (Princeton) - Title: New Cosmology Constraints from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Year 3 Data Release
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: November 21\, 2023 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Roohi Dalal (Princeton) \nTitle: New Cosmology Constraints from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Year 3 Data Release\n \nAbstract: The Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey is the deepest present-day weak lensing experiment\, going to ~26 mag with exquisite image quality. This combination of depth and image quality achieved by HSC allows us to probe cosmology using weak gravitational lensing up to high redshifts\, and these analyses serve as important preparatory studies for the next generation of weak lensing surveys\, particularly the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. I will discuss our constraints on cosmological parameters using weak lensing cosmic shear power spectra measured from the Year 3 shear catalog of HSC\, covering 416 square degrees of the northern sky. I will describe our cosmological analysis\, including the steps we take to prevent confirmation bias as well as our modeling of various systematic effects. The quantity best constrained by our analysis is the parameter S8\, which describes the clumpiness of the matter distribution in the universe. From our analysis\, and other weak lensing analyses with different surveys\, there is a 2-3 sigma detection of a tension in the S8 measurements from weak lensing and those from the cosmic microwave background. While this could suggest that our cosmological model is incomplete\, I will discuss ongoing and future work that can further shed light on this tension\, including an improved modeling of baryonic feedback at small scales. \n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95679892182?pwd=RU5xU2dDRFNabnR1U3pQMklkYWFIdz09 \nMeeting ID: 956 7989 2182 \nPasscode: 169037

SUMMARY:Speaker: Aleksandra Kusiak (Columbia) - Title: Probing the Ionized Gas Thermodynamics in Distant Galaxies with the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: November 14\, 2023 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Aleksandra Kusiak (Columbia) \nTitle: Probing the Ionized Gas Thermodynamics in Distant Galaxies with the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect\n \nAbstract: The Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect—the Doppler boost of low-energy Cosmic Microwave Background photons scattering off free electrons in galaxies and clusters in the late Universe—is an excellent probe of ionized gas residing in distant galaxies. Its two main constituents are the kinematic SZ effect (kSZ)\, where electrons have a non-zero line-of-sight (LOS) velocity and which probes the electron momentum\, and the thermal SZ effect (tSZ)\, where electrons have high energies due to their temperature\, and which probes the electron integrated pressure. These two effects provide complementary information necessary to constrain the thermodynamic profile of gas residing in distant galaxies\, which can be further used to understand feedback processes\, a necessary ingredient to describe the evolution of the large-scale structure in our Universe and galaxy formation. Both tSZ and kSZ can be measured in cross-correlation with large-scale structure\, e.g.\, galaxies. \nIn this talk\, I will discuss my past and ongoing measurements of the SZ-galaxy cross-correlations with unWISE galaxies\, including the projected-fields kSZ. unWISE is a galaxy catalog containing over 500 million galaxies on the full sky and consists of three subsamples of mean redshifts z=0.5\, 1.1\, 1.5\, whose halo occupation distribution I have already constrained. If time permits\, I will also present my ongoing work on mitigating foregrounds in the SZ cross-correlations\, particularly the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB). \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95679892182?pwd=RU5xU2dDRFNabnR1U3pQMklkYWFIdz09 \nMeeting ID: 956 7989 2182 \nPasscode: 169037

SUMMARY:Speaker: Kelly Stifter (Fermilab) - Title: Leveraging quantum sensors to shine new light on searches for low-mass dark matter
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: October 26\, 2023 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Kelly Stifter (Fermilab) \nTitle: Leveraging quantum sensors to shine new light on searches for low-mass dark matter\n \nAbstract: While dark matter accounts for approximately 85% of the mass in the universe\, its physical nature remains one of the most pressing open questions in the field of physics. Three decades of experiments have been searching for dark matter interactions over a wide range of candidate dark matter masses and all have come up empty-handed. Nevertheless\, there remain large swaths of unexplored\, well-motivated particle dark matter models that are currently inaccessible through existing detector technologies. One path to probe these remaining particle dark matter models is through the use of low-threshold quantum sensors. In this talk\, I will review the landscape of dark matter direct detection\, outline the potential role of quantum sensors in particle detection\, and detail the early results from a calibration system critical to realizing these individual devices as fully-fledged experiments. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09\n\nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\n\nPasscode: 142239

SUMMARY:Speaker: Joshua Batson (Anthropic AI) - Title: More is Different: Generalization in Large (Language) Models
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: October 19\, 2023 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Joshua Batson (Anthropic AI) \nTitle: More is Different: Generalization in Large (Language) Models\n \nAbstract: Specialized machine learning models have been successfully applied in science and industry for decades. In recent years\, a new paradigm has emerged: very large models trained on highly diverse training data have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across hundreds of tasks. Many billions of dollars have since been invested in training and deploying such models. In this talk\, I will review some of these developments with a focus on the phenomenon of generalization: as models scale\, what changes? What do we know about the internal functioning of these models and how that emerges during training? What does this portend for the future? I will finally speculate\, with audience participation\, on three potential relationships with physics: the ‘physics’ of model training\, the use of models as scientific assistants\, and the direct use of models to study physical phenomena. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09\n\nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\n\nPasscode: 142239

SUMMARY:Speaker: Luke Kelley (UC Berkeley) - Title: Nanohertz Gravitational Waves: Exploring the most massive black holes in the Universe
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: October 12\, 2023 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Luke Kelley (UC Berkeley) \nTitle: Nanohertz Gravitational Waves: Exploring the most massive black holes in the Universe\n \nAbstract: Earlier this year NANOGrav\, along with other pulsar timing arrays\, announced strong evidence for a stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background at nanohertz frequencies. For decades\, such a signal has been predicted from binaries of supermassive black holes (SMBHs). I will present NANOGrav’s recent data and our interpretation of the signal as produced by SMBH binaries. I will show that these GWs encode a wealth of new information about SMBH formation and evolution. Now\, the race is on for the next expected measurements: detection of anisotropy in the GW background\, and individual loud binaries. These measurements would confirm the origin of the GWs\, provide a crucial testbed for the future LISA mission\, and open a new multi-messenger window into the Universe. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09\n\nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\n\nPasscode: 142239

SUMMARY:Speaker: Jure Zupan (University of Cincinnati) - Title: From quarks and gluons to hadrons
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: October 5\, 2023 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Jure Zupan (University of Cincinnati) \nTitle: From quarks and gluons to hadrons\n \nAbstract: Monte Carlo event generators for particle collisions are composed of three block\, the calculations of hard matrix elements\, parton shower\, and hadronization. While the first two are theoretically under good control and systematically improvable using perturbative techniques\, hadronization relies on the use of phenomenological models. I will review the first attempts to use Machine Learning architectures to describe hadronization\, with the ultimate goal to train directly on data. The first practical side product of this effort is an algorithm for faster evaluation of uncertainties associated with the Lund string model implemented in Pythia. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09\n\nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\n\nPasscode: 142239

SUMMARY:Speaker: Naoko Kurahashi Neilson (Drexel) - Title: Neutrino Astronomy\, From Dream to Reality
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: September 21\, 2023 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Naoko Kurahashi Neilson (Drexel) \nTitle: Neutrino Astronomy\, From Dream to Reality\n \nAbstract: The Universe has been studied using light since the dawn of astronomy\, when starlight captured the human eye. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory\, located at the geographic South Pole\, observes the Universe in a different and unique way: in high-energy neutrinos. IceCube’s discovery in 2013 of a diffuse celestial neutrino radiation started an era of neutrino astronomy. Searches for astronomical sources responsible for creating these neutrinos have covered broad source types while combating background event rates that are 6 orders of magnitude higher. This year\, the first observation of our own Milky Way galaxy in neutrinos was announced in June. This talk will cover how this observation was made\, other milestone observations by IceCube\, and the state of neutrino astronomy. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09\n\nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\n\nPasscode: 142239

SUMMARY:Speaker: Uros Seljak (LBNL) - Title: AI for Physics\, Physics for AI
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: September 14\, 2023 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Uros Seljak (LBNL) \nTitle: AI for Physics\, Physics for AI\n \nAbstract: Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning) is revolutionizing many aspects of our life\, but its success stories in physics and astronomy are rare and limited to a few subfields only. I will argue that this is because physics applications require development of physics specific AI methods\, rather than using off the shelf methods from the AI community. A few examples of physics specific nature of the data are large dimensionality of the data\, stochastic nature of the data\, and symmetries. I will argue that learning the data structures first using generative learning approaches such as Normalizing Flows enables not only better learning\, but also provides additional information on robustness\, such as anomaly detection. These methods applied to cosmology data show the promise of up to an order of magnitude improvement relative to traditional methods. Physics ideas have also influenced the development of AI\, and many of these have been based on stochastic processes and sampling. I will discuss recently developed MicroCanonical Hamiltonian and Langevin Monte Carlo\, which are a new class of sampling methods that outperform previous state of the art such as Hamiltonian Monte Carlo\, in some cases by orders of magnitude. These new sampling methods will in turn enable solutions of physics problems that were not possible before\, in a wide range of fields from cosmology to lattice QCD. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09\n\nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\n\nPasscode: 142239

SUMMARY:Speaker: Sinead Griffin ( LBL)- Title: Party like it's LK99?
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: August 15\, 2023 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Sinead Griffin (LBL) \nTitle: Party like it’s LK99?\n \nAbstract: A recent report of room temperature superconductivity at ambient pressure in Cu-substituted apatite (`LK99′) has invigorated interest in the understanding of what systems and mechanisms allow for high-temperature superconductivity. In this talk\, I will describe my recent work on identifying the origins of correlated isolated flat bands at the Fermi level in lk99\, a common signature of high transition temperatures in already-established families of superconductors. I elucidate the origins of these isolated bands as arising from a structural distortion induced by the Cu ions and a chiral charge density wave from the Pb lone pairs. These results suggest that a minimal two-band model can encompass much of the low-energy physics in this system. Finally\, I discuss the implications of my results on possible superconductivity in Cu-doped apatite. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95679892182?pwd=RU5xU2dDRFNabnR1U3pQMklkYWFIdz09 \nMeeting ID: 956 7989 2182 \nPasscode: 169037

DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \n \nDate: June 22\, 2023 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Kerstin Tackmann \nTitle: Higgs measurements at ATLAS\n \nAbstract: In summer 2012\, the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider\nannounced the discovery of a new particle\, with properties consistent with\nthose expected from the Standard Model Higgs boson. Since then\, its properties\nand its interactions with other particles have been studied by both experiments\nusing the data that have been collected up to 2018\, increasing the number of\nHiggs bosons produced by a factor of 36. This talk gives an overview of recent\nresults from the ATLAS experiment\, focusing on the results obtained on that\ndataset and mentioning briefly new results obtained using the data collected\nin 2022. To date\, all measurements have been found to be consistent with the\npredictions of the Standard Model of particle physics.\n \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09 \nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\nPasscode: 142239

This measurement is based on an absolute calibration of the LUCID detector using dedicated van der Meer beam-separation scans\, and extrapolated to physics conditions with a set of complimentary measurements from the ATLAS inner detector and calorimeter systems. Evaluated for all physics data recorded during the LHC Run2 data taking (from 2015-18)\, the uncertainty on the integrated luminosity delivered to ATLAS has achieved a relative precision of 0.8%. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09 \nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\nPasscode: 142239

SUMMARY:[SPECIAL RPM] Speaker: Marcel Vos (IFIC (UV/CSIC) Valencia)
DESCRIPTION:This is an In-Person [HYBRID] Event \nDate: MAY 22\, 2023 \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5-5132 \nSpeaker: Marcel Vos (IFIC (UV/CSIC) Valencia) \nTitle: “The third-generation quarks and the Higgs boson – from the LHC to the next large-scale facility in HEP” \nAbstract: In this seminar I discuss a number of selected topics in studies of the bottom and top quarks. A few recent highlights of the top quark physics program of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC are presented. These results continue to improve the precision that can be achieved at a hadron collider and expand the energy frontier beyond several TeV. An extensive search program open ups increasingly rare top quark production processes\, providing access to couplings that had not been tested directly so far. To provide a broader perspective\, current results are compared to the prospects of the High Luminosity phase of the LHC and of a future electron-positron collider. The seminar finalizes with a discussion of a proposal to use the interactions of the bottom (and top) quarks with the Higgs boson to test the evolution of particle masses with energy predicted by the Standard Model. \n\nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/96855892866?pwd=dEltOWdIdHZSSHlBRGJiUXlQdm1Pdz09 \nMeeting ID: 968 5589 2866\nPasscode: 915719

SUMMARY:Speaker: Frank Qu (Cambridge University) - Title: Cosmology from high-precision CMB lensing measurements with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope
DESCRIPTION:This is an In-Person [HYBRID] Event \nDate: MAY 18\, 2023 \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5-5132 \nSPEAKER: Frank Qu (Cambridge University) \nTITLE: Cosmology from high-precision CMB lensing measurements with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope \nABSTRACT: \nThe cosmic microwave background provides a unique backlight for illuminating the growth of structures in our universe. Measuring the arcminute-scale lensing deflections experienced by the CMB photons as they travel to our telescopes enables the mapping of the matter distribution to very high redshifts. This lensing signal provides a clean window for constraining fundamental physics\, such as the sum of neutrino masses\, and enables powerful tests of the standard cosmological model via comparison of high-precision measurements of structure growth at late times with early-time predictions. \n  \nIn this talk\, I will present new CMB lensing measurements derived from data release 6 of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. Our work provides a state-of-the-art lensing power spectrum measurement and an associated signal-dominated lensing mass map that enable a host of cosmological and astrophysical science goals. I will first discuss the novel methods used to tackle key systematics affecting precision CMB lensing. I will then explore the implications of our measurements for tests of cosmic structure growth and the S8 tension. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09 \nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\nPasscode: 142239

SUMMARY:Speaker: Stefania Gori (UCSC)-Title: New meson probes of axion-like-particles
DESCRIPTION:This is an In-Person [HYBRID] Event \nDate: MAY 2\, 2023 \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5-5132 \nSpeaker: Stefania Gori (UCSC) \nTitle: New meson probes of axion-like-particles \nAbstract: \n\nMeson factories are at the cutting edge of the intensity frontier\, with an unprecedented number of pions\, Kaons\, and B mesons that will be produced in the coming years. In addition to precise measurements of Standard Model processes\, these experiments have a unique opportunity to search for dark sector particles in the sub-GeV mass range. In this talk\, we will first give an overview of new opportunities to search for axion-like particles (ALPs) in light meson decays. Such ALPs can be motivated by a solution to the hierarchy problem\, the strong CP problem\, the flavor puzzle\, and combinations of these with DM physics.  Second\, we revisit the theory and constraints on ALPs interacting with leptons\, pointing out the relevance of charged current meson and W decays to ALPs. This is particularly prominent in models where the ALP couples in an isospin-violating way. Finally\, we highlight the role of the future PIONEER experiment in probing these new charged current pion decays to ALPs.\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95679892182?pwd=RU5xU2dDRFNabnR1U3pQMklkYWFIdz09 \nMeeting ID: 956 7989 2182\nPasscode: 169037

SUMMARY:Speaker: Gabriel Orebi Gann\, (UCB/LBNL)- Title: Let There be Light: next-generation neutrino detection at Theia
DESCRIPTION:This is an In-Person [HYBRID] Event \nLOCATION: Sessler Conference Room – 50A – 5132 \nDATE: April 27\, 2023 \nTIME: 4:00 PM \nTITLE: Let There be Light: next-generation neutrino detection at Theia \nABSTRACT: Neutrinos are some of the most fascinating particles that occur in nature. Over one billion times lighter than the proton\, the neutrino was once thought to be massless and to travel at the speed of light. The Nobel-Prize winning discovery of neutrino oscillations demonstrated that neutrinos have non-zero mass\, which opens up the unique possibility of the neutrino being its own antiparticle\, known as a Majorana fermion. This talk will discuss the physics landscape\, and present recent technological advances that enable a new kind of “hybrid” neutrino experiment\, which would combine two highly successful detection techniques: the topological information of Cherenkov detectors\, with the high light yield of scintillators. The Theia detector would be capable of combining both signals to achieve unprecedented levels of particle and event identification\, offering a rich program of science across high-energy particle\, nuclear and astrophysics. If deployed as one of the “modules of opportunity” at the DUNE far site\, Theia could offer insights into both CP violation\, and the search for Majorana neutrinos: the two ingredients necessary to shed light on the source of the matter antimatter asymmetry in our Universe. \nZOOM INFORMATION – \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09 \nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\nPasscode: 142239

SUMMARY:Speaker: Bruce Macintosh Title: Direct imaging of extrasolar planets- Thursday\, April 20 at 4pm
DESCRIPTION:This is an In-Person [HYBRID] Event \nDate: Thursday\, April 20\, 2023 \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nSpeaker: Bruce Macintosh \nTitle: Direct imaging of extrasolar planets\n \nAbstract: Direct detection of extrasolar planets – spatially resolving a planet from its host star while blocking\, moving\, or post-processing the starlight – is a powerful complement to transit\, RV\, and microlensing approaches. Direct detection is sensitive to planets in wider orbit\, and allows spectroscopic characterization of planetary atmosheres. One of the most effective instruments in this regime has been the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI). GPI was a facility instrument combining advanced adaptive optics\, a diffraction-controlling coronagraph\, and an infrared integral field spectrograph on the Gemini South Telescope. From 2014-2019 we carried out the Gemini Planet Imager Exoplanet Survey (GPIES)\, which observed 532 young (10-200 Myr) nearby stars. I will describe the instrument\, summarize the key results of the GPIES program\, including constraints on giant-planet distributions and atmospheric properties. We have also extensively characterized GPI’s performance\, leading to insights into next-generation systems. \nWith current technology\, direct imaging with GPI or other instruments is sensitive primarily to planets that are significantly younger than\, more massive than\, and in wider orbits than Jupiter\, and such planets are rare. Moving beyond this will require new capabilities. The GPI 2.0 project upgrades the existing instrument with faster adaptive optics\, better coronagraph designs\, and new spectrograph modes.When deployed on Gemini North\, GPI 2.0 will be able to search younger stars in the Taurus and Ophiucus star-forming regions\, and be sensitive to Jupiter-like “cold start” planets. I will summarize the science drivers that guided the GPI 2.0 upgrade and the project’s status.\n \n\nZoom Information \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09\nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\nPasscode: 142239

SUMMARY:Speaker: Cristiano Sebastiani- Title: "Search for exotic physics with long-lived particles at ATLAS "
DESCRIPTION:This is an In-Person [HYBRID] Event \nDate: April 18\, 2023 \nLocation: INPA Conference Room- 50-5026 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nSpeaker: Cristiano Sebastiani \nTitle: Search for exotic physics with long-lived particles at ATLAS\n \nAbstract: Exotic long-lived particles (LLPs) could provide valuable insights into the nature of Dark Matter (DM) and represent a potential extension to the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. However\, Large Hadron Collider (LHC) search programs may have overlooked LLPs due to their unique features\, which are often dismissed as noise. Decay of LLPs outside of the interaction region gives rise to striking signatures\, such as late calorimetric energy deposits\, displaced vertices\, and long time-of-flight. This presentation focuses on the current status and experimental challenges of searching for LLPs with the ATLAS detector\, with an emphasis on innovative techniques used to improve sensitivity. Lastly\, this presentation will discuss the prospects for the LLP programme at CERN in the future.\n \n\nZoom Information \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/93563368865?pwd=dUVWd1ZWc2ZQenFmdGVuejBEZE03UT09 \nMeeting ID: 935 6336 8865\nPasscode: 157411

SUMMARY:Speaker: Dave Moore (Yale)-Title: Optomechanical sensors for nuclear and particle physics
DESCRIPTION:This is an In-Person [HYBRID] Event \nDate: April 13\, 2023 \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nSpeaker: Dave Moore (Yale) \nTitle: Optomechanical sensors for nuclear and particle physics \nAbstract: The development of optomechanical systems has revolutionized the detection of tiny forces over the past few decades. As such technologies reach (and surpass) quantum measurement limits\, they can enable new searches for weakly coupled phenomena\, including dark matter\, gravitational waves\, “fifth’’ forces\, and sterile neutrinos. As a demonstration of these techniques\, I will describe an initial search for dark matter using an optically levitated nanogram mass sensor\, which can exceed the sensitivity of even large underground detectors for certain classes of dark matter candidates in a few days of exposure. If a signal were detected\, such sensors would also be able to correlate its direction with earth’s motion through the galaxy\, allowing definitive confirmation that such a signal arose from dark matter. The same techniques can also permit new laboratory searches for sterile neutrinos\, potentially probing orders-of-magnitude smaller mixings with active neutrinos than previous experiments in the keV-MeV mass range. I will describe recent proposals to perform such searches using optically trapped nanoparticles doped with beta emitters.\n \n\nZoom Information \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09 \nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\nPasscode: 142239
