Special RPM – Yifang Wang (IHEP, China) "CEPC-SPPC: an initiative in China for the future of HEP"

INPA Common Room (50-5026) 50-5026

Abstract: Since the discovery of Higgs, the future of HEP is a key question to the community.  Needless to say, accelerator-based energy frontier of HEP is still playing the central role, and a right approach is vital for the health …

Zack Slepian (Harvard University) "The Baryon-Dark Matter Relative Velocity and a New Approach to the 3-Point Correlation Function"

“The Baryon-Dark Matter Relative Velocity and a New Approach to the 3-Point Correlation Function” Due to their different behaviors before decoupling (z~1020), at high redshift (z~50) there is a relative velocity between baryons and dark matter that is coherent on …

Simon Fiorucci (Brown Univ.) "The latest on the LUX dark matter experiment: How it got there, and where it is going"

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: LUX has set the standard for direct dark matter detection experiments since its result announcement in 2013. In order to get there, several years of science planning and incremental successes had to happen. Today LUX serves a dual purpose: …

Ken Heller (Univ. Minnesota) "NOνA Begins – First Results from the NOvA Neutrino Oscillation Experiment"

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: The NOνA long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment has just completed its initial data run and the analysis of that data. This run constitutes about 8% of the planned data. The first run resulted in a measurement of the oscillation …

Anna Patej (Harvard) "Distributions of Baryons from the Virial Radius of Galaxy Clusters to Large Scales"

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: I will discuss my recent work on the distributions of baryonic matter on various scales, from the gas and galaxies in galaxy clusters to the clustering of massive galaxies on large scales. Near the virial radius of galaxy clusters, …

Sara Simon (Princeton) "The Atacama B-Mode Search: Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimetry at 17,000 Feet"

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: The Atacama B-mode Search (ABS) was a crossed-Dragone telescope located at an elevation of 5200 m in the Atacama Desert in Chile that observed the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from February 2012 until October 2014. ABS searched for the primordial B-mode polarization signal …
