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.
To be added to the INPA News Mailing List, please contact Erica Hall.

Daniel Dwyer (LBNL) – Evidence against sterile neutrinos from the Daya Bay Experiment
Daniel Dwyer (LBNL) – Evidence against sterile neutrinos from the Daya Bay Experiment
Prevailing models of antineutrino emission by nuclear reactors do not agree with observations. This discrepancy has been considered possible evidence for neutrino oscillation to non-interacting, or sterile, neutrino states. Although the existence of sterile neutrinos would have profound implications, a variety of measurements by the Daya Bay Experiment disfavor sterile models. I will summarize these […]

Jessica Lu (UCB) – New Developments in Adaptive Optics: Wide Fields and Precise PSFs
Jessica Lu (UCB) – New Developments in Adaptive Optics: Wide Fields and Precise PSFs
Adaptive optics correct for the blurring effects of the Earth’s atmosphere. However, most AO systems today suffer from limited fields of view and point spread functions that vary over time and position. I will present results from several experiments to overcome these limitations. We have deployed a ground-layer adaptive optics experiment on the UH 2.2 […]

Jon Ouellet (MIT) – ABRACADABRA: A New Approach to the Search for Axion Dark Matter
Jon Ouellet (MIT) – ABRACADABRA: A New Approach to the Search for Axion Dark Matter
The evidence for the existence of Dark Matter is well supported by many cosmological observations. But we have not yet been able to determine how this new type of matter fits into our understanding of the Universe on the smallest scales. Separately, long standing problems within the Standard Model point to new weakly interacting particles […]

Titouan Lazeyras (MPA) – Dark matter halo bias from separate universe sim-ulations
Titouan Lazeyras (MPA) – Dark matter halo bias from separate universe sim-ulations
The large-scale local bias parameters of dark matter halos are essential to describe the statistics of halos and galaxies on large scales, as well as for the halo model of the matter distribution. Using so-called separate universe simulations, we recently obtained precise measurements of the three leading bias parameters. For b2 and b3, these are […]
