SUMMARY:Speaker: Aleksandra Kusiak (Columbia) - Title: Probing the Ionized Gas Thermodynamics in Distant Galaxies with the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: November 14\, 2023 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Aleksandra Kusiak (Columbia) \nTitle: Probing the Ionized Gas Thermodynamics in Distant Galaxies with the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect\n \nAbstract: The Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect—the Doppler boost of low-energy Cosmic Microwave Background photons scattering off free electrons in galaxies and clusters in the late Universe—is an excellent probe of ionized gas residing in distant galaxies. Its two main constituents are the kinematic SZ effect (kSZ)\, where electrons have a non-zero line-of-sight (LOS) velocity and which probes the electron momentum\, and the thermal SZ effect (tSZ)\, where electrons have high energies due to their temperature\, and which probes the electron integrated pressure. These two effects provide complementary information necessary to constrain the thermodynamic profile of gas residing in distant galaxies\, which can be further used to understand feedback processes\, a necessary ingredient to describe the evolution of the large-scale structure in our Universe and galaxy formation. Both tSZ and kSZ can be measured in cross-correlation with large-scale structure\, e.g.\, galaxies. \nIn this talk\, I will discuss my past and ongoing measurements of the SZ-galaxy cross-correlations with unWISE galaxies\, including the projected-fields kSZ. unWISE is a galaxy catalog containing over 500 million galaxies on the full sky and consists of three subsamples of mean redshifts z=0.5\, 1.1\, 1.5\, whose halo occupation distribution I have already constrained. If time permits\, I will also present my ongoing work on mitigating foregrounds in the SZ cross-correlations\, particularly the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB). \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95679892182?pwd=RU5xU2dDRFNabnR1U3pQMklkYWFIdz09 \nMeeting ID: 956 7989 2182 \nPasscode: 169037

SUMMARY:Speaker: Roohi Dalal (Princeton) - Title: New Cosmology Constraints from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Year 3 Data Release
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: November 21\, 2023 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Roohi Dalal (Princeton) \nTitle: New Cosmology Constraints from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Year 3 Data Release\n \nAbstract: The Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey is the deepest present-day weak lensing experiment\, going to ~26 mag with exquisite image quality. This combination of depth and image quality achieved by HSC allows us to probe cosmology using weak gravitational lensing up to high redshifts\, and these analyses serve as important preparatory studies for the next generation of weak lensing surveys\, particularly the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. I will discuss our constraints on cosmological parameters using weak lensing cosmic shear power spectra measured from the Year 3 shear catalog of HSC\, covering 416 square degrees of the northern sky. I will describe our cosmological analysis\, including the steps we take to prevent confirmation bias as well as our modeling of various systematic effects. The quantity best constrained by our analysis is the parameter S8\, which describes the clumpiness of the matter distribution in the universe. From our analysis\, and other weak lensing analyses with different surveys\, there is a 2-3 sigma detection of a tension in the S8 measurements from weak lensing and those from the cosmic microwave background. While this could suggest that our cosmological model is incomplete\, I will discuss ongoing and future work that can further shed light on this tension\, including an improved modeling of baryonic feedback at small scales. \n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95679892182?pwd=RU5xU2dDRFNabnR1U3pQMklkYWFIdz09 \nMeeting ID: 956 7989 2182 \nPasscode: 169037

SUMMARY:Speaker: Lee Hagaman (University of Chicago) – Title: Investigating Short-Baseline Neutrino Anomalies Using MicroBooNE
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: November 28\, 2023 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Lee Hagaman (University of Chicago) \nTitle: Investigating Short-Baseline Neutrino Anomalies Using MicroBooNE\n \nAbstract: The MicroBooNE experiment is a liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) in the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermilab. One of its primary goals is to address the 4.8 sigma MiniBooNE Low Energy Excess (LEE). Leveraging the unique capabilities of LArTPC technology to identify hadronic activity and separate photon and electron showers\, MicroBooNE has achieved a search for an electron neutrino excess (potentially due to a sterile neutrino)\, as well as a search for a single photon excess from neutral current Delta radiative decays. In this talk\, we will present a comprehensive overview of these results\, as well as recent advancements toward new searches for single photons and electron-positron pairs as explanations of the MiniBooNE LEE. These include a more sensitive search for Delta radiative decays\, a search for coherent-like single photon production\, an inclusive single photon search\, and searches for electron-positron pairs from dark sector models. \n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95679892182?pwd=RU5xU2dDRFNabnR1U3pQMklkYWFIdz09 \nMeeting ID: 956 7989 2182 \nPasscode: 169037

SUMMARY:Speaker: Michael MacKenzie (Northwestern University) - Title: Searches for Charged Lepton Flavor Violation at CMS and Mu2e
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: November 30\, 2023 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Michael MacKenzie (Northwestern University) \nTitle: Searches for Charged Lepton Flavor Violation at CMS and Mu2e\n \nAbstract: Neutrino oscillations have shown that lepton flavor is not a conserved quantity. Charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) is suppressed by the small neutrino masses well below what is experimentally observable\, though new physics models predict higher rates of CLFV. I will discuss a current search at the CMS experiment for the CLFV decay of the Z boson\, focusing on the search for Z→e µ. I will also discuss the upcoming search for CLFV µ− → e− conversion at the Mu2e experiment at FNAL. The Mu2e experiment aims to improve the sensitivity to µ− → e− conversion by a factor of 10\,000. I will present the expected µ− → e− conversion sensitivity during Run 1 at Mu2e. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09\n\nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\n\nPasscode: 142239
