Speakers: Bhaskar Dutta (Texas A&M university) In this talk, I will present new detection channels for light dark matter, with a particular focus on utilizing proton beam dump–based neutrino facilities. The high-intensity beams at these experiments open up the possibility of probing previously unexplored regions of light dark matter parameter space. These detection strategies are ... Read more
Speakers: Issac Wang, Siobhan K. H. Brimhali Come all! This highly interactive workshop, presented in coordination with the Writing Center, is designed to enhance some of the foundational tools needed to successfully present your research to an academic journal audience. Some of the topics that will be covered are "structuring a paper for journals in ... Read more
To understand what’s above, some particle physicists are seeking answers below the Earth. Nobel Laureate and Queen’s Professor Emeritus Arthur McDonald will lecture on the topic of how researchers are uncovering the nature of the Universe and neutrinos from underground laboratories including SNOLAB in Sudbury, Canada. Dr. McDonald received the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics ... Read more
Workshop on Ghost Particle Hunting: Neutrino Physics and its Applications to World Peace With a Tribute to Professor John Learned Advances in neutrino physics in the last decades have brought breakthroughs in Beyond Standard Model Physics with the discovery of neutrino oscillations and mass; detection of supernovae, extragalactic and galactic neutrinos that shone light on ...

Organizers: Jennifer Ott (University of Hawaii Manoa), Julia Gonski (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) We aim to connect HEP physicists and engineers interested in front-end ML developments and applications to share latest results, brainstorm future directions, build new collaborations, pursue funding, and share infrastructure. The workshop will take place at Holmes Hall on the campus of ... Read more
Speakers: Patrick Stengel (Jozef Stefan Institute) Minerals are solid state nuclear track detectors - nuclear recoils in a mineral leave latent damage to the crystal structure. Depending on the mineral and its temperature, the damage features are retained in the material from minutes to timescales much larger than the age of the Solar System. The ... Read more
