SUMMARY:Speaker: Naim Göksel Karaçaylı (Ohio State University) Title: 1D Lyman-alpha forest power spectrum from the DESI early data
DESCRIPTION:DATE: September 8\, 2023 \nTIME: 12:00- 1:00 PM \nLOCATION: 50A-5-5132-CR-Sessler  \nSPEAKER:  Naim Göksel Karaçaylı (Ohio State University) \nTITLE: 1D Lyman-alpha forest power spectrum from the DESI early data \nABSTRACT: The one-dimensional power spectrum P1D of the Lya forest provides important information including constraints on warm dark matter models\, the sum of the neutrino masses\, and the thermal state of the intergalactic medium. I will present the first measurement of P1D with the quadratic maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) applied to 54\,600 quasars from DESI early data. Our analysis demonstrates the percent-level performance of the spectroscopic pipeline noise estimation and the spectrograph resolution matrix. Even though the pipeline is exceptional\, noise calibration and spectrograph resolution remain as major sources of systematics. \nJoin Zoom  \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011\nPasscode: 247722

SUMMARY:Speaker: Wenbo Ma (Shanghai Jiao Tong University)-Title: Search for solar neutrino and light dark matter with the PandaX-4T experiment
DESCRIPTION:DATE: September 15\, 2023 \nTIME: 12:00- 1:00 PM \nLOCATION: 50A-5-5132-CR-Sessler  \nSPEAKER: Wenbo Ma (Shanghai Jiao Tong University) \nTITLE: Search for solar neutrino and light dark matter with the PandaX-4T experiment \nABSTRACT: 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. \nJoin Zoom  \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011\nPasscode: 247722

SUMMARY:Speaker: Yifei Luo (UCSC)- Title: The Merian Survey: Characterizing dark matter and feedback in star-forming dwarf galaxies with medium-band filters on DECam
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, October 6\, 2023\n \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room–50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Yifei Luo(UCSC) \nTitle: The Merian Survey: Characterizing dark matter and feedback in star-forming dwarf galaxies with medium-band filters on DECam \nAbstract: The Merian survey is an ongoing medium-band imaging survey on the CTIO 4-meter Blanco telescope. With two custom made medium-band filters on DECam\, we expect to detect 80\,000 star-forming dwarf galaxies at z~0.1 in the HSC-SSP wide field\, aiming to characterize dark matter halo and stellar feedback in dwarf galaxies. The Merian survey will allow us to measure the full dark matter profile of dwarf galaxies via weak gravitational lensing for the first time. In this talk\, I will present how we optimized the Merian filter design for our science goals\, and discuss the filter performance with mock and actual Merian data. I will also show that the Merian medium-band filter set is able to select objects at higher redshifts out to z~4.8. \nZoom Information: \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09\n \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011 \nPasscode:  247722

SUMMARY:Speaker: Jose María Palencia (Instituto de Física de Cantabria\, Spain) - Title: Probing the Universe: Extremely Magnified Stars and Gravitational Lensing
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, October 27\, 2023\n \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room–50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Jose María Palencia (Instituto de Física de Cantabria\, Spain) \nTitle: Probing the Universe: Extremely Magnified Stars and Gravitational Lensing \nAbstract: In 2018\, an intriguing astronomical phenomenon came to light – Extremely Magnified Stars. These transients are a consequence of gravitational lensing\, facilitated by the combined influence of galaxy clusters and intracluster microlenses\, leading to an amplification of individual star brightness by a factor exceeding 1000. This presentation will delve into the underlying gravitational lensing mechanism responsible for this unique phenomenon. In the second part of the talk\, we will explore the utility of Extremely Magnified Stars for improving our understanding of the formation of massive stars in the early universe\, investigating the presence of empirical limits observed within our local universe\, and using these events as valuable tools for probing dark matter models. \nZoom Information: \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09\n \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011 \nPasscode:  247722

SUMMARY:Speaker: Shawn Westerdale(UC Riverdale)- Title:Dark matter searches with the Global Argon Dark Matter Collaboration: Status of the DEAP-3600 and DarkSide-20k experiments
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, November 3\, 2023\n \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room–50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Speaker: Shawn Westerdale(UC Riverdale) \nTitle: Dark matter searches with the Global Argon Dark Matter Collaboration: Status of the DEAP-3600 and DarkSide-20k experiments \nAbstract: The Global Argon Dark Matter Collaboration (GADMC) is the union of the ArDM\, DarkSide\, DEAP\, and MiniCLEAN dark matter direct detection experiments\, aiming to fully explore the experimentally accessible dark matter parameter space down to the neutrino fog. While the experimental collaborations that joined to form GADMC all used argon-based detectors\, they employed a variety of detector designs. This presentation will give an overview of the DarkSide-50 and DEAP-3600 detectors and present their latest results\, which include some of the strongest direct detection constraints on light and ultra-heavy dark matter. In addition to their physics results\, these experiments developed key technology that enables future detectors. We will discuss plans for these future detectors\, including DarkSide-20k — currently under construction — and DarkSide-LowMass\, covering an overview of their design and expected sensitivity. \nZoom Information: \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09\n \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011 \nPasscode:  247722

SUMMARY:Speaker: David Maibach (Heidelberg)-Title: "Cosmic Strings and where to find them"
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, November 17\, 2023\n \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room–50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: David Maibach (Heidelberg) \nTitle: “Cosmic Strings and where to find them” \nAbstract: “A large class of particle physics models beyond the Standard Model admit topologically stable string configurations\, so-called Cosmic Strings. If Nature is described by such a theory\, a network of strings will form during a symmetry-breaking phase transition in the early universe and leave traceable features in various probes. The search for these signatures provides an interesting interplay between particle physics and cosmology that can constrain particle physics from the high energy end downwards. In this talk\, I will give a brief introduction to the intricate world of Cosmic Strings and explore potential probes of string signatures within the regime of electromagnetic and gravitational radiation.” \nZoom Information: \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09\n \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011 \nPasscode:  247722

SUMMARY:Speaker: Leire Larizgoitia (DIPC (Spain)\, U. Chicago) Title: High-pressure gaseous TPCs for CEvNS detection at the ESS
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, January 12\, 2024 \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room–50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Leire Larizgoitia (DIPC (Spain)\, U. Chicago) \nTitle: High-pressure gaseous TPCs for CEvNS detection at the ESS \nAbstract: The recent detection of the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS) opens the possibility to detect neutrinos with small-size detectors and with different techniques\, opening a new window to explore possible BSM physics. \nThe CEνNS process generates signals at the few-keV level\, requiring sensitive detection technologies for its observation. The European Spallation Source (ESS) has been identified as the best possible site for the exploration this CEνNS process. \nWithin the NuESS program\, two different detector approaches are currently under development at Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC). The GanESS project\, a high-pressure gaseous time projection chamber (TPC) and the CoSI project\, which employs cryogenic undoped CsI crystals. \nThese next-generation technologies will be capable of observing the process with lower energy threshold and better energy resolution than current detectors. In addition\, the combination of these detectors will allow for a complete phenomenological exploitation of the CEνNS signal. In particular\, these measurements will not be statistically limited due to the synergy between larger neutrino fluxes at the ESS and these improved detectors. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011\n\nPasscode: 247722 \n

DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, January 19\, 2024 \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room–50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Bradford Welliver (UCB/ LBL) \nTitle: Results from the CUPID-Mo Experiment \nAbstract: The recent detection of the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS) opens the possibility to detect neutrinos with small-size detectors and with different techniques\, opening a new window to explore possible BSM physics. \nThe CEνNS process generates signals at the few-keV level\, requiring sensitive detection technologies for its observation. The European Spallation Source (ESS) has been identified as the best possible site for the exploration this CEνNS process. \nWithin the NuESS program\, two different detector approaches are currently under development at Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC). The GanESS project\, a high-pressure gaseous time projection chamber (TPC) and the CoSI project\, which employs cryogenic undoped CsI crystals. \nThese next-generation technologies will be capable of observing the process with lower energy threshold and better energy resolution than current detectors. In addition\, the combination of these detectors will allow for a complete phenomenological exploitation of the CEνNS signal. In particular\, these measurements will not be statistically limited due to the synergy between larger neutrino fluxes at the ESS and these improved detectors. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011\n\nPasscode: 247722

SUMMARY:Speaker: Bharath Nagam (Groningen) Title:Finding strong lenses using deep learning with upcoming Euclid data
DESCRIPTION:Date:  Friday\, January 26\, 2024 \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room–50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Bharath Nagam (Groningen)  \nTitle: Finding strong lenses using deep learning with upcoming Euclid data \nAbstract: “Detecting strong lenses in a large dataset such as Euclid is very challenging due to the unbalanced nature of dataset. Existing CNN models are producing large amount of false positives\, for example one strong\nlens candidate will be accompanied by 100’s of false positives in the final sample. To over come this challenge\, we have developed a novel ML pipeline called DenseLens\, which consists of three components namely Classification ensemble\, Regression ensemble and Segmentation. Classification ensemble is an ensemble of DenseNet-CNNs which provides predictions in range [0\,1] and Regression ensemble rank-orders strong lenses based on Information Content i.e.\, higher the rank\, the more visually convincing features. Finally we use the segmentation model to predict the source pixels of the rank-ordered image. We use this additional information from this predicted source pixels to classify whether the candidate is a strong lens or not. We applied this the novel approach of combing different ML models to the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) data and we reduced the false positives by an enormous factor. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011\n\nPasscode: 247722

SUMMARY:[Special] Speaker: Mark Anderson(Queen's University) Title: Advancing nuclear and particle physics with deep learning: from event reconstruction to signal denoising
DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL INPA SEMINAR \nDate:  Thursday\, February 1\, 2024 \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nLocation: INPA Conference Room–5026 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Mark Anderson (Queen’s University) \nTitle: Advancing nuclear and particle physics with deep learning: from event reconstruction to signal denoising \nAbstract: In this talk\, I will present my research on advancing nuclear and particle physics using deep learning. The first portion of the presentation will focus on the SNO+ experiment\, a multi-purpose neutrino experiment with the primary goal of searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay. In particular\, my work involves developing deep learning-based techniques for event reconstruction of particle interactions in the detector. Currently\, SNO+ uses a chain of algorithms involving maximum likelihood estimation. I will demonstrate that my independent\, deep learning approach can be used to improve the reconstruction accuracy\, while also offering substantial gains in speed. This has implications on volume fiducialization and background rejection.\nIn the second part of my talk\, I will present studies on a deep convolutional autoencoder designed to remove electronic noise from a p-type point contact high purity germanium detector. With their intrinsic purity and excellent energy resolutions\, these detectors are suitable for a variety of rare event searches such as neutrinoless double-beta decay\, dark matter candidates\, and other exotic physics. However\, noise from the readout electronics can make identifying events of interest more challenging. I will highlight several studies that show that detector performance can be improved when signals are denoised with the autoencoder\, leading to better physics outcomes.\nWhile both of these projects are applied to data from specific detector technologies\, the methods I have developed are broadly applicable. The groups I work with have begun exploring new applications of my research with promising results. At the end of the talk\, I will discuss some specific extensions and provide an outlook for the future. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011 \nPasscode: 247722

SUMMARY:[Special] Speaker: Alec Lindman (University of Mainz) Title: Atomic tritium for next-generation neutrino mass measurement with Project 8
DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL INPA SEMINAR \nDate:  Thursday\, February 15\, 2024 \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room–50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Alec Lindman (University of Mainz) \nTitle: Atomic tritium for next-generation neutrino mass measurement with Project 8 \nAbstract: Neutrinos provide a window to physics beyond the Standard Model through their nonzero mass\, but new technology is required to push below current limits. Project 8 is a next-generation direct neutrino mass experiment with a sensitivity of 40 meV/c^2. We have established a new frequency-based technique\, cyclotron radiation emission spectroscopy (CRES)\, to make precise\, differential measurements of the endpoint region of the tritium beta-decay spectrum. Atomic tritium will improve Project 8’s sensitivity by 10 to 30 times over a similar molecular experiment. This talk will focus on the development of the new technologies to enable the atomic tritium experiment. I will outline Project 8’s atomic architecture\, which includes large magnetic traps (~ 50 m^3) that store atoms at ~ 1 mK to benefit from CRES’s volume scaling\, a chain of atom cooling and transport elements to maintain the intended density in the trap\, and a tritium-compatible atom source that can provide the necessary flux of 10^19 atoms/s. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011\n\nPasscode: 247722 \n
