SUMMARY:Speaker: Heather Gray (LBNL) and Simone Pagan Griso (LBNL) - Title: What's next for CERN? Summary of the 2025 European Strategy for Particle Physics Open Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: September 4\, 2025 \nTime: 3:30pm-4:30pm [Note special time]  \nLocation: 50-4-Auditorium [Note special location] \nSpeaker: Heather Gray (LBNL) and Simone Pagan Griso (LBNL) \nTitle: What’s next for CERN? Summary of the 2025 European Strategy for Particle Physics Open Symposium \nAbstract: CERN is undergoing a planning exercise to determine its long-term strategy in particle physics; this exercise has some similarity to the Snowmass/P5 process\, but with some differences.\nCenter to this strategy is what large-scale projects CERN will be undertaking after the LHC and its upgraded High-Luminosity LHC operations stop at around 2041.\nThis symposium represented the only general open meeting to showcase the current ideas and the received community inputs that were due in March 2025. It represented a middle-point before the appointed group starts drafting a report that is expected to be preliminarily available around the end of the year.\nIn this seminar\, we will summarize what has been shown and give our main take-aways from this symposium and the strategy process. \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09 \nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\n\nPasscode: 142239

SUMMARY:Speaker: Alan Poon (LBNL) - Title: Recent Results and Status of the Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay Experiment LEGEND
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: September 11\, 2025 \nTime: 4:00pm-5:00pm   \nLocation: 70A-3-3377 [Note special location] \nSpeaker: Alan Poon (LBNL) \nTitle: Recent Results and Status of the Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay Experiment LEGEND \nAbstract: The Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless ββ Decay (LEGEND) is a phased international program designed to answer one of the highest-priority questions in fundamental physics — whether neutrinos are their own anti-particles. Its first phase\, LEGEND-200\, reuses the cryostat of a previous-generation experiment\, GERDA\, in Hall A of the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) underground laboratory in Italy to house up to 200 kg of 76Ge-enriched high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors. In this talk\, I will present the latest results from LEGEND-200’s search for the lepton-number-violating neutrinoless double-beta decay. I will also provide a synopsis of the planning of the second phase of the experiment\, LEGEND-1000. \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09 \nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\n\nPasscode: 142239

SUMMARY:Speaker: Daniel Baxter (Fermilab) - Title: A QUIET place: Fermilab’s Underground Facilities for Quantum Sensing
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nThis is a joint seminar with the Interdisciplinary Instrumentation Colloquium (IIC).  \nDate: September 16\, 2025 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: 50-4-Auditorium  [Note location] [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Daniel Baxter (Fermilab) \nTitle: A QUIET place: Fermilab’s Underground Facilities for Quantum Sensing\n \nAbstract: The infrastructure associated with building a large accelerator complex created some very unique spaces at Fermilab. In particular\, the MINOS tunnel\, excavated as part of the NuMI neutrino beam delivering neutrinos to the MINOS\, MINERVA\, and NOVA experiments\, is an easily-accessible 100m underground experimental space. The rock overburden at this depth blocks 99.5% of all cosmic ray muons\, and nearly all hadronic showers\, creating a unique\, low-background environment for novel detector development and calibration. \nThe NEXUS and QUIET laboratories\, each equipped with dilution refrigerators for 10mK detector operation\, are harnessing this opportunity. I will highlight the unique capabilities of these testbeds\, as well as some of the interesting results that have come out of them. I will briefly touch on some of our ongoing studies and proposed experiments for the near future. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/97314813383?pwd=LhetsZ74BUU2cbFP7ZZCye8ofksaUp.1 \nMeeting ID: 973 1481 3383 \nPasscode: 631580

SUMMARY:Speaker: Jim Strait (LBNL) - Title: CMB-S4: birth\, life and death of a major science project
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: September 25\, 2025 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Jim Strait (LBNL) \nSlides: Download slides \nTitle: CMB-S4: birth\, life and death of a major science project \nAbstract: CMB-S4 was envisioned to be a comprehensive ground-based CMB experiment to make transformative discoveries and new insights in fundamental physics\, cosmology\, astrophysics\, and astronomy. It was conceived as a way to unite the entire CMB community to enable a ground-based experiment with capabilities beyond that of any of the smaller individual experiment to realize the enormous potential of CMB measurements for understanding the origin and evolution of the Universe\, from the highest energies at the dawn of time through the growth of structure to the present day. CMB-S4 was launched with great promise and enthusiasm at the 2013 Snowmass Summer Study\, grew into a large collaboration\, built a capable project organization\, developed an advanced technical design and scientific strategies\, was endorsed by multiple high-level advisory committees\, but ultimately was cancelled by the funding agencies in 2025. In this talk I will summarize the history and accomplishments of CMB-S4\, and provide an analysis of why it did not succeed. \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09 \nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\n\nPasscode: 142239
