SUMMARY:Simon Fiorucci (Brown Univ.) "The latest on the LUX dark matter experiment: How it got there\, and where it is going"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nLUX 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:\n– It is still the leading\, currently operating experiment in the field. I will detail the strategy toward new exciting results in the near (and even immediate) future. I will also highlight those critical advances which have allowed LUX to keep its edge.\n– It is a testbed and an incubator for the next generation of dark matter experiments\, and specifically LZ. Aside from training up the next generation of physicists\, there are extensive plans before the end of the experiment in 2016 which promise to yield very valuable data on detector technology options\, calibration techniques and validity of simulation models. I will go over these and how they fit into both LUX and LZ strategies.

SUMMARY:Ken Heller (Univ. Minnesota) "NOνA Begins – First Results from the NOvA Neutrino Oscillation Experiment"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe 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 of muon neutrinos into two modes. One the disappearance of muon neutrinos\, the 2-3 oscillation\, and the other the appearance of electron neutrinos\, the 1-3 oscillation. In addition to describing the results and their impact on the neutrino mass ordering and CP violation\, I will describe the construction and design of this unique 14 kiloton detector.
