“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 …

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: …

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 …
