Institute for Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics (INPA) at LBNL

The INPA Seminar weekly talks are on Fridays, starting at 12:00 pm, unless informed otherwise. The seminar talk starts with a brief presentation of the weekly scientific news. Typically, the talks conclude by 1:00 pm. The seminars are held in the Sessler Conference Room,  located in Bldg. 50A- 5132.

The committee members are:

The seminar schedule for the Institute for Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics (INPA) is tentative and becomes final a few days before the Friday talk.

Please send all suggestions for future INPA talks and speakers to the INPA Committee.

Andrei Puiu (Gran Sasso Science Institute) “Direct Dark Matter Search with COSINUS”

May 6, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

ABSTRACT:

The search for dark matter is one of the most important challenges in modern physics. In my presentation I will make a brief introduction to the direct detection of dark matter in underground facilities, followed by the description of the COSINUS experiment. COSINUS aims at the direct detection of dark matter scattering off Na and I nuclei. It will use sodium Iodide crystals as absorber and hence as the dark matter target in a low temperature detector operating at ~10 mK. The unique feature of COSINUS is the simultaneous measurement of both the phonon signal and the scintillation signal. This will allow us to perform an event-by-event particle identification using the light yield of each energy deposition in the crystal, and to finally disentangle electron from nuclear recoil events. I will give an overview of the experimental technique and of the experimental facility currently under construction in Hall B of the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso.
