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.

Pierre Sokolsky (Utah) – Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays: Complex Spectral Structure and Evidence for Anisotropy in the Northern Sky
Pierre Sokolsky (Utah) – Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays: Complex Spectral Structure and Evidence for Anisotropy in the Northern Sky
We present recent results from the Telescope Array (TA) collaboration on the spectrum and anisotropy of cosmic rays from 1015 to 1020 eV. The simple power law spectrum thought to be exhibited by cosmic rays is now known to be considerably more complex, with at least four features present in this energy region in addition […]

Samuel Flender (ANL) – Cosmology and the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich sky: Observations and simulations
Samuel Flender (ANL) – Cosmology and the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich sky: Observations and simulations
The Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect is an important observational signature of galaxy clusters, the largest objects in the Universe today. In particular, the pairwise kinematic SZ signal probes the matter-velocity correlation function, scaled by the average optical depth of galaxy clusters, and is thus an interesting probe both from a cosmological and astrophysical point of view. […]

Ken Chen (NAOJ) – Lighting up the Universe with Extreme Supernovae
Ken Chen (NAOJ) – Lighting up the Universe with Extreme Supernovae
Recent all-sky transient searches have discovered new and unexpected explosion types that fall outside traditional SN classification schemes. These exotic outliers in many cases are due to the deaths of massive stars and therefore may have been prevalent in the primordial universe because the Pop III IMF is thought to be top-heavy. Depending on the […]

Javier Caravaca Rodriguez (UCB) – Cherenkov and Scintillation light separation with the CHESS experiment
Javier Caravaca Rodriguez (UCB) – Cherenkov and Scintillation light separation with the CHESS experiment
The first step toward construction of a hybrid optical detector like THEIA is the demonstration of separation of scintillation and Cherenkov light in liquid scintillators (LS). This would allow reconstruction of particle directionality in a low energy threshold detector, and provide improved particle identification. The CHESS experiment successfully images Cherenkov rings on LS such as […]

INPA guests from campus can now come to the lab early on Fridays. The INPA Common Room (50-5026) is reserved for our guests from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Note that the seminars are now held in 50A-5132 to accommodate a more significant number of attendees.
CPTea Series (also known as INPA Tea Series)
The Physics Division CPTea Series invites you to an In-Person Tea Series 1st Friday of every month at 3:30 pm INPA Conference Room 50-5026.
