Callum Wilkinson (Albert Einstein Center for Fundamental Physics) “Precision neutrino oscillation physics and DUNE “

HYBRID 50A-5132 (Sessler Conference Room), https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 50A-5132

Abstract: Neutrino oscillations have been established as an energy and distance dependent phenomena, beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics. However, a number of key questions remain, which have implications for our understanding of the origin and development of our …

Ben Safdi (U. Michigan) “The Search for Axion Dark Matter

HYBRID 50A-5132 (Sessler Conference Room), https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 50A-5132

Abstract: Dark matter is the dominant source of matter in our Universe.  However, while dark matter dictates the evolution of large-scale astrophysical systems through its gravitational effects, the particle nature of dark matter is unknown.  In this talk I will …

Raquel Castillo Fernandez (Fermilab) “Searching for Nu Physics with High Resolution Detectors”

HYBRID 50A-5132 (Sessler Conference Room), https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 50A-5132

Abstract: Neutrino physics aims to answer some of the most pressing questions in particle physics: why the Universe is dominated by matter, why the neutrino mass is so small and if there are more types of neutrinos. Due to the …

Ken Van Tilburg (NYU/IAS) “The Structure of Dark Matter on Small Scales”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT: Halometry---mapping out the spectrum, location, and kinematics of nonluminous structures inside the Galactic halo---can be realized via effects that variable weak gravitational lensing induces on the proper motions of stars and other luminous background sources. Modern astrometric surveys provide …

David Caratelli (Fermilab) “Neutrinos at Short Baselines: the MicroBooNE Experiment”

HYBRID 50A-5132 (Sessler Conference Room), https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 50A-5132

Abstract: While neutrino oscillation physics has entered an era of precision measurements, several anomalies in experiments at short baselines remain without a satisfactory answer. The MicroBooNE experiment has been recording neutrino interactions on Fermilab’s Booster Neutrino Beam since 2015 employing …

Richard Bonventre (LBNL) “Searching for Muon to Electron Conversion: The Mu2e Experiment at Fermilab”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract:   The Mu2e experiment will search for the charged lepton flavor violating (CLFV) neutrino-less conversion of a negative muon into an electron in the field of a nucleus, reaching a 90% C.L. limit of 8x10^-17 on the conversion rate. …
