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.

Noah Kurinsky (Stanford) – Pushing to Low Mass with SuperCDMS SNOLAB: New Developments in Ultra-Low Threshold Dark Matter Detectors
Noah Kurinsky (Stanford) – Pushing to Low Mass with SuperCDMS SNOLAB: New Developments in Ultra-Low Threshold Dark Matter Detectors
In the last few years, the dark matter field has bifurcated into experiments focused on wimp-scale dark matter with massive liquid noble detectors and experiments focused on so-called ‘hidden sectors’ dark matter, pushing small detectors to much lower energy resolutions. Low-mass dark matter searches, focusing on single eV-scale energy deposits, are sensitive to different backgrounds […]

Katelin Schutz (UCB) – Excluding a thin dark matter disk in the Milky Way with Gaia DR1: Resurrecting the Dinosaurs
Katelin Schutz (UCB) – Excluding a thin dark matter disk in the Milky Way with Gaia DR1: Resurrecting the Dinosaurs
If a component of the dark matter has dissipative interactions, it could collapse to form a thin dark disk in our Galaxy coincident with the baryonic disk. It has been suggested that dark disks could explain a variety of observed phenomena, including mass extinction events due to periodic comet impacts. Using the first data release […]
