About the INPA Seminars
All seminars are on Fridays (unless otherwise noted) and start at 12:00 (noon) with a brief presentation of the weekly scientific news. Typically the talks end by 13:00. The seminars take place in Bldg. 50A, room 5132.
The committee members are:
The following Seminar schedule for the Institute for Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics is tentative. The seminar becomes final usually a few days before the Friday of the talk.

Speaker: Wenbo Ma (Shanghai Jiao Tong University)-Title: Search for solar neutrino and light dark matter with the PandaX-4T experiment
September 15 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
DATE: September 15, 2023
TIME: 12:00- 1:00 PM
LOCATION: 50A-5-5132-CR-Sessler
SPEAKER: Wenbo Ma (Shanghai Jiao Tong University)
TITLE: Search for solar neutrino and light dark matter with the PandaX-4T experiment
ABSTRACT: The PandaX-4T experiment aims to search for potential dark matter interactions. With significant technical improvements, PandaX-4T achieves unprecedented sensitivity at the low-energy edge of LXe detectors, opening a new window for observing solar neutrinos. Using commissioning data, two hybrid analyses are carried out to search for dark matter interactions, yielding world-leading results for neutrino-nucleus coherent elastic scattering from solar B8 neutrino, as well as for dark matter interactions with nucleons and electrons. These results demonstrate PandaX-4T’s unique capability to search for low-energy interactions from solar and galactic sources.

INPA guests from campus can now come up to the lab early on Fridays. The INPA Common Room (50-5026) is reserved for our guests from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon, and from 1 pm to 5 pm. Note that the seminars are now held in 50A-5132 to accommodate a larger number of attendees.
Also, on Fridays from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm you are welcome to join the INPA Speaker for a brown-bag lunch in the small Pers Hall conference room, 54-130B.
INPA Tea Series
The Physics and Nuclear Science Divisions have together been leaders in revolutionary changes in our understanding of neutrinos and cosmology. Everyone is welcome to attend the open forum. Tea and light refreshments will be served.
