SUMMARY:Kevin Crowley (UCB) "The View From Down Here: Ground-Based Measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background from the Atacama Desert"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nThe 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 made at higher resolution\, with higher detector count\, and with iterative upgrades to the instruments. One key goal of recent upgrades has been recovering the large angular-scale polarization signal that could reveal the signature of inflation in the early universe. The current generation of ground-based telescopes have developed new technologies\, including polarization-modulator systems\, kilopixel focal plane arrays\, and highly-multiplexed detector readout\, all with the goal of enabling sensitivity while controlling systematic errors in the challenging environment of polarization measurements under the atmosphere. In this talk\, I will describe my efforts in these areas of instrumentation development and my experiences pushing for sensitivity while pondering just what lies below the noise in CMB experiments observing from the Atacama Desert. I will also highlight the ways that future experiments\, including the under-construction Simons Observatory and the exciting prospect of CMB-S4\, will lay a path toward the ultimate goal of fully exploring the physics in the CMB from terra firma. \nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/If 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.Join Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/94763254514?pwd=OTdvellKbHNFUGNJUWpHUGtKTTdPUT09 \nMeeting ID: 947 6325 4514\nPasscode: 894772\nOne tap mobile\n+16692192599\,\,94763254514#\,\,\,\,*894772# US (San Jose)\n+16699006833\,\,94763254514#\,\,\,\,*894772# US (San Jose) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 219 2599 US (San Jose)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 213 338 8477 US (Los Angeles)\n+1 720 928 9299 US (Denver)\n+1 971 247 1195 US (Portland)\n+1 206 337 9723 US (Seattle)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 602 753 0140 US (Phoenix)\n+1 470 381 2552 US (Atlanta)\n+1 646 518 9805 US (New York)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 651 372 8299 US (Minnesota)\n+1 786 635 1003 US (Miami)\n+1 267 831 0333 US (Philadelphia)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 470 250 9358 US (Atlanta)\nMeeting ID: 947 6325 4514\nPasscode: 894772\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/adMiQV0p1t \nJoin by SIP\n94763254514@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: 947 6325 4514\nPasscode: 894772 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Roger O'Brient (U. Washington) "Superconducting Detectors for Cosmology and Ultra-High Energy Physics"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe 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 TES bolometers used in BICEP and how JPL as played this vital role in the project.  I’ll provide some context of how they fit into similar technologies from peer institutions\, and how some of the lessons learned in BICEP may be transferable to CMB S4.  Finally\, I’ll describe how the next generation of resonator-based detectors will enable future missions and experiments in far-IR and millimeter wave astrophysics.\n\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\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/97074529102?pwd=K2FyOUI4OGFrOWswT1ZYZTlzTzV3UT09 \nMeeting ID: 970 7452 9102\nPasscode: 674004\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,97074529102#\,\,\,\,*674004# US (San Jose)\n+12133388477\,\,97074529102#\,\,\,\,*674004# US (Los Angeles) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 213 338 8477 US (Los Angeles)\n+1 669 219 2599 US (San Jose)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 602 753 0140 US (Phoenix)\n+1 720 928 9299 US (Denver)\n+1 971 247 1195 US (Portland)\n+1 206 337 9723 US (Seattle)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 786 635 1003 US (Miami)\n+1 267 831 0333 US (Philadelphia)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 470 250 9358 US (Atlanta)\n+1 470 381 2552 US (Atlanta)\n+1 646 518 9805 US (New York)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 651 372 8299 US (Minnesota)\nMeeting ID: 970 7452 9102\nPasscode: 674004\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/ayA29i6Kr \nJoin by SIP\n97074529102@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: 970 7452 9102\nPasscode: 674004 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Kaori Fuyuto (LANL) "A Cross-Frontier Quest to Reveal the Origin of the Universe"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n\n\nThe 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 Universe and the origin of neutrino mass. Solving these puzzles require physics beyond the SM (BSM)\, which is searched for in a variety of frontiers today. In this talk\, I will discuss how BSM physics\, which could provide solutions to the above mysteries\, can be probed at both energy and intensity frontiers\, i.e.\, the Higgs coupling measurements in collider experiments and LFV searches at the Electron-Ion Collider.\n\n\n\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.Join Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/94456986488?pwd=T2Y5MnZLdW1aenJrVWJVcmwvMTZ3QT09 \nMeeting ID: 944 5698 6488\nPasscode: 173732\nOne tap mobile\n+16692192599\,\,94456986488#\,\,\,\,*173732# US (San Jose)\n+16699006833\,\,94456986488#\,\,\,\,*173732# US (San Jose) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 219 2599 US (San Jose)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 213 338 8477 US (Los Angeles)\n+1 720 928 9299 US (Denver)\n+1 971 247 1195 US (Portland)\n+1 206 337 9723 US (Seattle)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 602 753 0140 US (Phoenix)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 470 250 9358 US (Atlanta)\n+1 470 381 2552 US (Atlanta)\n+1 646 518 9805 US (New York)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 651 372 8299 US (Minnesota)\n+1 786 635 1003 US (Miami)\n+1 267 831 0333 US (Philadelphia)\nMeeting ID: 944 5698 6488\nPasscode: 173732\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/aYqcyDruC \nJoin by SIP\n94456986488@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: 944 5698 6488\nPasscode: 173732 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Nicholas Rodd (CERN) "Looking Beyond Dark Matter in Axion Haloscopes"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe 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. The first is a population of relativistic axions that were produced in the early universe and persist as a residual Cosmic axion Background (CaB). The second is high-frequency gravitational waves; I will outline how exploiting an analogy between axion and gravitational-wave electrodynamics allows for axion haloscopes to be converted into gravitational-wave telescopes.\n\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/93382847475?pwd=T1ZkZXpJaDVPcS9RMzVTUUs5U1N3Zz09 \nMeeting ID: 933 8284 7475\nPasscode: 149179\nOne tap mobile\n+12133388477\,\,93382847475#\,\,\,\,*149179# US (Los Angeles)\n+16692192599\,\,93382847475#\,\,\,\,*149179# US (San Jose) \nDial by your location\n+1 213 338 8477 US (Los Angeles)\n+1 669 219 2599 US (San Jose)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 602 753 0140 US (Phoenix)\n+1 720 928 9299 US (Denver)\n+1 971 247 1195 US (Portland)\n+1 206 337 9723 US (Seattle)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 470 250 9358 US (Atlanta)\n+1 470 381 2552 US (Atlanta)\n+1 646 518 9805 US (New York)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 651 372 8299 US (Minnesota)\n+1 786 635 1003 US (Miami)\n+1 267 831 0333 US (Philadelphia)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 933 8284 7475\nPasscode: 149179\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/aNjxTC2pd \nJoin by SIP\n93382847475@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: 933 8284 7475\nPasscode: 149179 \n──────────

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nDark 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 problem. In many scenarios\, the interactions between the dark sector and the standard model can be very small. For extremely weak interactions\, the best strategy to search for these new states is to look for their signature in extreme astrophysical environments\, such as core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers. In this talk\, I will present new signatures that can be used to search for stable and unstable dark sector particles in extreme astrophysical systems\, covering a wide range of parameter space for masses in the MeV-GeV range. \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/93985344273?pwd=M0RPc3dZM1JpWllOb3lHWnNEamZwZz09 \nMeeting ID: 939 8534 4273\nPasscode: 125108\nOne tap mobile\n+12133388477\,\,93985344273#\,\,\,\,*125108# US (Los Angeles)\n+16692192599\,\,93985344273#\,\,\,\,*125108# US (San Jose) \nDial by your location\n+1 213 338 8477 US (Los Angeles)\n+1 669 219 2599 US (San Jose)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 602 753 0140 US (Phoenix)\n+1 720 928 9299 US (Denver)\n+1 971 247 1195 US (Portland)\n+1 206 337 9723 US (Seattle)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 651 372 8299 US (Minnesota)\n+1 786 635 1003 US (Miami)\n+1 267 831 0333 US (Philadelphia)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 470 250 9358 US (Atlanta)\n+1 470 381 2552 US (Atlanta)\n+1 646 518 9805 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 939 8534 4273\nPasscode: 125108\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/aVJYot3HB \nJoin by SIP\n93985344273@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: 939 8534 4273\nPasscode: 125108 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Pier Monni (CERN) "Taming the Complex Dynamics of Scattering Events"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n\nThe 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 the evolution of the system from the few\nproduced in the high-energy scattering to the tens or hundreds of low-energy particles observed in the experimental detectors. In this talk\, I will discuss the main theoretical technology behind this endeavour\, that of event generators. I will present a number of recent theoretical innovations that will shape the creation of a new generation of tools\, essential to achieve the outstanding accuracy demanded by collider experiments.\n\n\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/96007374638?pwd=VGk3VXdZNVNCZXhCZHBhSVBTTkpnUT09 \nMeeting ID: 960 0737 4638\nPasscode: 335942\nOne tap mobile\n+16692192599\,\,96007374638#\,\,\,\,*335942# US (San Jose)\n+16699006833\,\,96007374638#\,\,\,\,*335942# US (San Jose) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 219 2599 US (San Jose)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 213 338 8477 US (Los Angeles)\n+1 720 928 9299 US (Denver)\n+1 971 247 1195 US (Portland)\n+1 206 337 9723 US (Seattle)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 602 753 0140 US (Phoenix)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 470 250 9358 US (Atlanta)\n+1 470 381 2552 US (Atlanta)\n+1 646 518 9805 US (New York)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 651 372 8299 US (Minnesota)\n+1 786 635 1003 US (Miami)\n+1 267 831 0333 US (Philadelphia)\nMeeting ID: 960 0737 4638\nPasscode: 335942\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/ac00PgASWv \nJoin by SIP\n96007374638@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: 960 0737 4638\nPasscode: 335942 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Ken Bloom (UNL) "Climate Impacts of Particle Physics: A Sustainability Agenda"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: (This is a Hybrid/ZOOM Meeting)\nThe pursuit of particle physics requires a stable and prosperous society.  Today\, our society is increasingly threatened by global climate change.  Human-influenced climate change has already impacted weather patterns\, and global warming will only increase unless deep reductions in emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases are achieved.  Current and future activities in particle physics need to be considered in this context\, either on the moral ground that we have a responsibility to leave a habitable planet to future generations or on the more practical ground that\, because of their scale\, particle physics projects and activities will be under scrutiny for their impact on the climate.  I will discuss a white paper for the Snowmass workshop that I co-authored\, in which we considered several contexts in which the practice of particle physics has impacts on the climate.\n \n──────────\n\n \nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Hybrid/Zoom Meeting. \nConference Room Location: 50-5132 at 4:00 PM – TODAY \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/94367647939?pwd=UEJQRjhlaGc4dFFqT1c1WEtRSnVRZz09 \nMeeting ID: 943 6764 7939\nPasscode: 531399\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,94367647939#\,\,\,\,*531399# US (San Jose)\n+12133388477\,\,94367647939#\,\,\,\,*531399# US (Los Angeles) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 213 338 8477 US (Los Angeles)\n+1 669 219 2599 US (San Jose)\n+1 971 247 1195 US (Portland)\n+1 206 337 9723 US (Seattle)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 602 753 0140 US (Phoenix)\n+1 720 928 9299 US (Denver)\n+1 646 518 9805 US (New York)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 651 372 8299 US (Minnesota)\n+1 786 635 1003 US (Miami)\n+1 267 831 0333 US (Philadelphia)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 470 250 9358 US (Atlanta)\n+1 470 381 2552 US (Atlanta)\nMeeting ID: 943 6764 7939\nPasscode: 531399\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/adUylfsSvF \nJoin by SIP\n94367647939@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: 943 6764 7939\nPasscode: 531399 \n──────────

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n\nThe elemental abundance patterns of stars encode a wealth of information about the history of the Milky Way galaxy and the astrophysical processesthat create atomic nuclei.  I will describe some of what we have learned about the origin of elements in the Milky Way from the SDSS APOGEE survey\, which has measured detailed abundance patterns (typically 15-18 elements\nper star) for half a million stars.  The average chemical enrichment and the relative contributions from core collapse (massive star) supernovae and Type Ia (white dwarf) supernovae changes systematically with position in the Galaxy.  However\, the observed median trends of element abundance ratios are nearly independent of position\, and the abundance pattern of\na typical APOGEE star can be described with two free parameters and residuals at the few-percent level.  By isolating the enrichment pattern of core collapse supernovae we can test theoretical models of massive star evolution and black hole formation.  Other elements such as nitrogen and cerium provide clues to the mixing of nuclear-processed material within intermediate mass stars.  The most important degeneracy in Galactic chemical evolution models is the tradeoff between the overall yield of heavy elements (sensitive to black hole formation) and the ejection of elements in galactic winds. Measurement of deuterium and helium-3 can help break this degeneracy because these isotopes originate primarily or entirely in the big bang.\n\n\n──────────\nTroy Cortez is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/94367647939?pwd=UEJQRjhlaGc4dFFqT1c1WEtRSnVRZz09 \nMeeting ID: 943 6764 7939\nPasscode: 531399\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,94367647939#\,\,\,\,*531399# US (San Jose)\n+12133388477\,\,94367647939#\,\,\,\,*531399# US (Los Angeles) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 213 338 8477 US (Los Angeles)\n+1 669 219 2599 US (San Jose)\n+1 971 247 1195 US (Portland)\n+1 206 337 9723 US (Seattle)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 602 753 0140 US (Phoenix)\n+1 720 928 9299 US (Denver)\n+1 646 518 9805 US (New York)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 651 372 8299 US (Minnesota)\n+1 786 635 1003 US (Miami)\n+1 267 831 0333 US (Philadelphia)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 470 250 9358 US (Atlanta)\n+1 470 381 2552 US (Atlanta)\nMeeting ID: 943 6764 7939\nPasscode: 531399\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/adUylfsSvF \nJoin by SIP\n94367647939@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: 943 6764 7939\nPasscode: 531399 \n──────────

SUMMARY:Anne Green (University of Nottingham) "Primordial Black Holes as a Dark Matter Candidate"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: \nDiverse astrophysical and cosmological observations indicate that most of the matter in the Universe is cold\, dark and non-baryonic. Traditionally the most popular dark matter candidates have been new elementary particles\, such as WIMPs and axions. However Primordial Black Holes (PBHs)\, black holes formed from over densities in the early Universe\, are another possibility. The discovery of gravitational waves from mergers of ~10 Solar mass black hole binaries by LIGO-Virgo has generated a surge in interest in PBH dark matter. I will overview the formation of PBHs\, the observational limits on their abundance and the key open questions in the field. \nhttp://physics.lbl.gov/rpm/index.php/events/

SUMMARY:Matt Kramer (LBNL) - "Measurement of sin²2θ₁₃ and Δm²ₑₑ from the Full Dataset of the Daya Bay Experiment"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: (This is a Hybrid/ZOOM Meeting)\nThe Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment was built to measure the smallest neutrino mixing angle\, θ₁₃\, using the oscillation of electron antineutrinos produced by the Daya Bay nuclear power complex in southern China. Using the rate and spectral shape of antineutrino events at multiple baselines from the reactors\, sin²2θ₁₃ is extracted along with the effective mass splitting Δm²ₑₑ. This talk describes\, step-by-step\, the latest oscillation analysis from our full dataset of ~5.5 million antineutrinos acquired over nearly a decade. In addition to the increase in statistics\, this analysis benefits from improvements in energy reconstruction and background subtraction. With an uncertainty of 2.8%\, this measurement of sin²2θ₁₃ is likely to remain the world’s most precise for the foreseeable future. \n\nZOOM Talk: https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 \nTime: 4:00 PM \n\nHybrid Location: Conference Room Location: 50-5132

SUMMARY:Hybrid Talk | Aaron Manalaysay (LBNL) "First results from the LZ dark matter search"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe question of what the identity of dark matter is\, presents one of the most fundamental mysteries in physics today. An answer to this question will shed light on a wealth of physics beyond the Standard Model\, and will have a fundamental impact on our understanding of the universe from the smallest to the largest scales. A global experimental effort has been ongoing for almost forty years to directly detect dark matter in the laboratory\, and devices utilizing liquid xenon (LXe) have emerged as the leading technology in this search. LUX-ZEPLIN is the largest and most sensitive LXe dark-matter experiment to ever be constructed\, and has been many years in the making. Completing the final construction and commissioning tasks in the depths of the COVID lockdown\, LZ has finally turned on and collected its first science data. An exciting glimpse of what is yet to come\, I will present these first data and what they tell us about dark matter so far. \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/91782268585 \nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,91782268585# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,91782268585# 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 (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/abeLb1T4q1 \nJoin by SIP\n91782268585@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 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585 \n──────────

SUMMARY:David Dunsky (LBNL) "Dark Radiation Constraints on Heavy QCD Axion Theories"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The explicit breaking of the PQ symmetry by higher dimensional operators can spoil the dynamical relaxation of the strong CP angle to its minimum of zero. One solution to this PQ “quality problem” is to introduce heavy QCD axions. Such axions acquire a mass from physics occurring far above the QCD scale and possess a potential more robust to corrections from higher dimensional PQ breaking operators. However\, in much of the (m_a\, f_a) plane\, heavy QCD axions can generate large amounts of dark radiation when decaying. In this talk\, I will discuss the cosmological evolution of heavy QCD axions in the early Universe\, their interactions with the Standard Model thermal bath\, and precise dark radiation constraints arising from their decays. In addition\, I will discuss how including a mirror photon – common in heavy axion theories involving mirror QCD sectors – modifies this picture and can lead to dangerous amounts of dark radiation

SUMMARY:Bibhushan Shakya (DESY) - "Gravitational Wave Probes of the Dark Universe"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: (This is a Hybrid/ZOOM Meeting)\n \n\n\n\nGravitational waves offer a powerful probe of early Universe phenomena. A particularly well-motivated BSM target for gravitational wave experiments is a first order phase transition in a dark sector\, where bubbles of true vacuum nucleate and expand in a background of false vacuum. We will discuss several new ideas related to gravitational wave signals from such dark phase transitions\, including novel forms of gravitational wave signals beyond the traditionally studied ones sourced by bubble collisions and sound waves\, as well as prospects of detecting phase transitions that could have been responsible for the production of dark matter through various nonthermal mechanisms. \n\nJoin Zoom Meeting: \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/94367647939?pwd=EJQRjhlaGc4dFFqT1c1WEtRSnVRZz09 \nMeeting ID: 943 6764 7939\nPasscode: 531399\n\n\nTime:         4:00 PM\n\nConference Room Location: 50-5132\n\n      Bibhushan Shakya (DESY) Webpage: https://sites.google.com/view/bibhushan-shakya

SUMMARY: James Unwin (UIC) "The Prospect of Nearby Primordial Black Holes"  
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nPrimordial Black Holes are a potential candidate for explaining some\, or even all\, of the experimentally inferred dark matter abundance. In this talk I will motivate the existence of Primordial Black Holes and discuss their potential role as a dark matter candidate. Notably\, for light Primordial Black Holes there could be a large abundance of such objects in the vicinity of the solar system potentially leading to distinct astrophysical signals. Moreover\, I will highlight that one can explain gravitational anomalies observed in small bodies with orbits beyond Neptune\, which have been taken to be indicative of a large ninth planet in the outer Solar System\, can be explained by a planetary mass Primordial Black Hole which has been gravitationally captured by the Sun.\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/91782268585 \nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,91782268585# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,91782268585# 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 (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/abeLb1T4q1 \nJoin by SIP\n91782268585@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 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585 \n──────────

SUMMARY:HYBRID TALK | Mengjiao Xiao (MIT) "In Search of Cosmic-Ray Antinuclei from Dark Matter with the GAPS Experiment"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe origin of dark matter is a driving question of modern physics. Finding dark matter in the laboratory and elucidating its properties could revolutionize our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The common challenges for dark matter searches in astrophysical signatures are large and uncertain backgrounds. The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is a balloon-borne experiment designed to identify low-energy cosmic antinuclei\, in particular antideuterons from dark matter annihilation or decay\, using the uniquely characterized atomic X-rays and charged particles from the decay of exotic atoms. With such a novel detection approach\, benefitting from a custom- d eveloped large- area silicon tracker and a large-acceptance Time-of-Flight system\, GAPS is sensitive to antideuterons and even antiheliums with the kinetic energy ≤0.25 GeV/n\, which should offer an essentially background-free region to probe many generic dark matter models. Additionally\, GAPS will collect a high-statistics antiproton spectrum in an unexplored energy range\, and open a sensitivity to cosmic antihelium. \nThe GAPS instrument consists of a tracker of >1000 custom Si(Li) detectors; a precision- timing\, large-area time-of-flight system; and a novel oscillating heat pipe thermal system. GAPS is currently under integration and preparing for the first Antarctic balloon flight in late 2023 while two follow-up flights are planned. This talk will present the science impact of the GAPS experiment\, while focusing on its custom-developed instrument technology\, including the design principle\, commissioning of the GAPS functional prototype\, integration and testing of GAPS full payload\, and the path forward to the initial flight. \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/91782268585 \nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,91782268585# US (San Jose)\n+13462487799\,\,91782268585# 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 (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585\nFind your local number: https://lbnl.zoom.us/u/abeLb1T4q1 \nJoin by SIP\n91782268585@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 (EMEA)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan)\nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585 \n

SUMMARY:HYBRID TALK| Hee-Jong Seo "Accelerating Universe through DESI"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nOne of the most intriguing questions in physics today is the nature of dark energy that is responsible for the accelerated expansion of the Universe. Three-dimensional maps of galaxies from spectroscopic galaxy surveys provide a giant laboratory to test the nature of the Universe\, including dark energy\, in a way that is complementary to other cosmic surveys. DESI\, being the largest galaxy redshift survey up to date\, is currently preparing for the first-year cosmology analysis release in Summer 2023\, In this talk\, among the key science goals of DESI\,  I want to focus on the studies of two accelerated expansion phases of the Universe using DESI\, one today due to dark energy and the other\, cosmic inflation right after the Big Bang. For the former\, I will show the first Baryon Acoustic Oscillation detection result using only the first two months of the DESI data. For the latter\, I will discuss how we can fight the observational systematics using neural networks and derive a tight constraint on inflation using the DESI Legacy survey.

SUMMARY:SPEAKER - Edward Callaghan - (UCB) - Optical Neutrino Detectors of the Past\, Present\, and Future
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Optical Neutrino Detectors of the Past\, Present\, and Future \nABSTRACT: Large-volume optical detectors are a mainstay of experimental\nneutrino physics\, with several successful implementations in the past\ndecades and larger models on the horizon. Traditionally\, such detectors\nmake use of either Cherenkov radiation\, produced as a superluminal\ncharged particle stops\, or scintillation light\, produced from the\ndeexcitation of excited molecular states\, but rarely both in tandem. I\nwill describe an R&D campaign to develop technologies suitable for a\nhybrid detector\, which will exploit both Cherenkov and scintillation\nlight to implement advanced event reconstruction techniques. This\ncampaign has culminated in the Eos demonstrator project\, which will be\nlocated on the UC Berkeley campus and act as a ton-scale demonstration\nof technologies applicable for Theia\, a proposed 25+ kiloton hybrid\ndetector. I will further discuss my work measuring cosmogenic background\nproduction in SNO\, a heavy water Cherenkov detector\, and a search for\nextraterrestrial antineutrinos in SNO+\, an upgrade to SNO\, which has\ncompleted a phase of water running and is now filled with liquid\nscintillator. \nThis is a HYBRID Meeting \n\nLocation:    50A-5132\nTime:        4:00 – 5:00 PM\nTitle:       “Snowmass Report Highlights – Part 3”\n\nZOOM Information: \nJoin Zoom Meeting \n50A-5132 (Sessler Conference Room)\, https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585

SUMMARY:SPEAKER - Andrzej Novak - RWTH Aachen University - Title: Searches for Higgs to Charm Decays with the CMS Experiment using Novel ML Methods
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Searches for Higgs to Charm Decays with the CMS Experiment using Novel ML Methods \n\nABSTRACT: Searches for charm decays of the Higgs boson are not only limited by the small coupling but primarily by the considerable difficulty of identifying charm jets. However\, recent advances in machine learning methods have drastically improved the performance of flavour identification algorithms. Applying them in analyses of the LHC Run2 data has enabled us to improve the limit on the Higgs to charm rate by a factor of 20 in the last few years. I will give an overview of the latest results obtained with the CMS experiment\, focusing on the more recent boosted search. \n\nZOOM Information –  \n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585\n

SUMMARY:SPEAKER: Daniel Kodroff (Penn State) - TITLE: Background Modeling and First Results From The LUX-ZEPLIN Dark Matter Experiment
DESCRIPTION:This is a VIRTUAL Event \nTITLE: Background Modeling and First Results From The LUX-ZEPLIN Dark Matter Experiment \nABSTRACT: LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a dark matter experiment located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota\, USA employing a 7 tonne active volume of liquid xenon in a dual-phase time projection chamber (TPC). It’s surrounded by an instrumented xenon “skin” region and gadolinium-loaded liquid scintillator outer detector\, primarily serving as active vetoes for gamma-ray and neutron backgrounds\, respectively\, all contained within an ultra-pure water tank. A comprehensive material\nassay and selection campaign for detector components\, along with a xenon purification campaign\, have further ensured an ultra-low background environment. These mitigations have allowed LZ to achieve a background rate of (63.0 ± 4.5) x 10−6 events/keVee/kg/day in the low energy region\, approximately 60 times lower than that of its predecessor LUX experiment. In this low background region\, LZ has recently set new world-leading limits for the spin-independent elastic scattering of nuclear recoils of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) with masses above 9 GeV/c^2 using an exposure of 60 live days and a fiducial mass of 5.5 tonnes. This talk will provide an overview of the LZ detector and a description of its backgrounds with an emphasis on techniques to constrain these backgrounds in situ. I will also discuss the first results from LZ and briefly discuss its future science program. \nZOOM Information – \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 \nMeeting ID: 917 8226 8585
