Abstract: The Indian effort to build an underground laboratory for rare processes is outlined. The flagship experiment, based on the 50 kiloton Iron Calorimeter, will measure atmospheric muon neutrinos and antineutrinos, separately, and will target the open problem of the …

Abstract: The LHC energy increase from 8 TeV to 13 TeV in 2015 provided a significant increase in sensitivity for new, high mass particles. This had a large impact on the sensitivity of searches for supersymmetric squarks and gluinos even …

Abstract: When a massive star collapses at the end of its life, nearly all of the gravitational binding energy of the resulting remnant is released in the form of neutrinos.  I will discuss the nature of the core-collapse neutrino burst …

Abstract: Neutrino oscillation experiments have demonstrated conclusively that neutrinos have mass.  In many Standard Model extensions neutrinos are favored to be Majorana fermions.  A worldwide experimental program to search for this Majorana nature of neutrinos is underway.  In this talk, …
