Beyond the Standard Model of particle physics there exists a form of matter, which seems to be dark in all interaction channels but in its gravitational influence. The nature of […]

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 […]

Liquid xenon two-phase time projection chamber (TPC) is one of the most promising technologies for WIMP dark matter direct detection. By using this technology, the LUX, XENON1T, and PANDAX-II collaborations […]

The introduction of liquid-xenon (LXe) to the field of dark-matter direct detection caused a paradigm shift in this search. Primarily focused on the search for the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle, […]

Many Grand Unified Theories predict processes that would allow baryons to decay to leptons, violating baryon number conservation. The observation of baryon number violation in nucleon decay would be a […]

Neutrinoless double beta decay is the matter-creating process that is most accessible with the current technology. Its discovery would demonstrate the non-conservation of lepton number and that neutrinos have a […]

The Waggle Platform is a research project at Argonne National Laboratory to design, develop, and deploy a novel wireless sensor platform with advanced edge computing capabilities to enable a new […]

This is the first of a two-part series on the axion and the current experimental campaign to find it. This first seminar will focus on the history and motivation of […]

Continuing on the topic of axion searches from last week, this seminar will highlight one experiment, HAYSTAC, which looks for an axion-induced power excess spectrally coincident with the resonance of […]

This seminar gives a brief historical introduction to solar neutrino detection, and motivates the use of solar neutrinos as a tool to probe physics beyond the standard model. An analysis […]
