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.

Andrej Dvornik (UNLV) – KiDS and biases

50A-5132- Sessler 50A-5132 Sessler Conference Room, CA

The current ongoing large imaging surveys are an excellent tool for studying the origin and evolution of the Universe and the galaxy - dark matter connection, using the weak gravitational […]

Simon Foreman (CITA, Toronto) – Gravitational lensing of line intensity maps

50A-5132- Sessler 50A-5132 Sessler Conference Room, CA

Gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) has emerged as a powerful cosmological probe, made possible by the development and characterization of nearly-optimal estimators for extracting the lensing signal […]

Silvia Scorza (Snolab, Sudbury) – Updates from SNOLAB

50A-5132- Sessler 50A-5132 Sessler Conference Room, CA

Astroparticle physics experiments searching for rare events, such as neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter particles interactions, have to be shielded from background radiation that would interact and hide […]

Sinead Griffin (LBL) – Materials considerations for New Dark Matter Detectors

50A-5132- Sessler 50A-5132 Sessler Conference Room, CA

New discoveries in quantum information science and in dark matter detection rely on finding more sensitive detectors than those in state-of-the-art experiments. Traditional detector technologies, based on nuclear and electron […]

Jia Liu (Princeton) – Nonlinear cosmology with massive neutrinos

50A-5132- Sessler 50A-5132 Sessler Conference Room, CA

The non-zero mass of neutrinos suppresses the growth of cosmic structure on small scales. Since the level of suppression depends on the masses of the three active neutrino species, the […]
