Abstract: The study of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies has become a percent-level science constraining the accepted cosmological model ΛCDM. The most powerful measurements thus far have been made from space, but observations from the Earth’s surface can be …
Abstract: The BICEP program has thus far constrained the tensor scalar ratio r<0.036, approaching the gravitational lensing floor. This was possible in large part because of innovations in detector technology at JPL. In my talk, I will describe the antenna-coupled …
Abstract: Kelly Johnson, Talent Outreach Program Manager, will share details about the Talent Outreach Program Office, including the various hiring and outreach programs for adult workers from underrepresented groups (women, minorities, veterans, and individuals with disabilities) that are available to the …

Abstract: The Standard Model (SM) is the most well-tested theory of elementary particles that make up the known Universe. However, there are still some major puzzles that cannot be accounted for by the SM in our Universe, e.g., matter-antimatter asymmetry of the …

Abstract: The coming decade will bring dramatic improvement in the axion dark-matter program as new experimental designs move beyond the proof of principle stage. In this talk I will outline two signals beyond dark matter that these instruments could discover. …

Abstract: Dark sectors are well motivated extensions of the Standard Model that can address many of the most important open questions in particle physics, such as the particle nature of dark matter, origin of neutrino masses, and the Higgs hierarchy …

Abstract: The pioneering investigation of the fundamental laws of nature at the Large Hadron Collider builds upon the interpretation ofcomplex scattering events. Our ability to identify small signals of elusive new phenomena therefore depends on accurate theoretical simulations which describe …

ABSTRACT: The MicroBooNE detector is a liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) located on-axis in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermi National Laboratory. One of the primary goals of the experiment is to investigate the excess over background expectations …
