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.

Vincent Fischer (UC Davis) – Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE)
Vincent Fischer (UC Davis) – Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE)
The next generation of large scale neutrino detectors, such as DUNE or Hyper-Kamiokande, will heavily rely on a precise understanding of neutrino-nucleus interactions to reach their goal of measuring leptonic CP violation. Accounting for and reconstructing all final state particles, especially neutrons, created upon such interactions is thus crucial. This is the goal of the […]

Helion Mas du Bourboux ( University of Utah) – Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations in SDSS and DESI using the intergalactic medium absorption
Helion Mas du Bourboux ( University of Utah) – Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations in SDSS and DESI using the intergalactic medium absorption
We present the measurement of the Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) scale from the correlation between absorption in the intergalactic medium and the positions of galaxies and quasars in the SDSS data and in the desi simulations. We use the absorption by neutral Hydrogen and by Magnesium-II observed in quasar spectra to trace the underlying matter […]

Heidi Newberg (RPI) – Dwarf galaxies and dark matter in the Milky Way
Heidi Newberg (RPI) – Dwarf galaxies and dark matter in the Milky Way
In the past fifteen years, dozens of tidal streams of stars pulled from dwarf galaxies and globular clusters have been discovered in the Milky Way's stellar halo. Recently, it has been discovered that as the dwarf galaxies fall into our galaxy they perturb the stars in the disk, causing wavelike disturbances that are seen in […]

Rebecca Canning (Stanford) – Understanding Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the most massive cosmic laboratories
Rebecca Canning (Stanford) – Understanding Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the most massive cosmic laboratories
Supermassive Black Holes (SMBHs) lurk in the centers of all massive galaxies, a fraction of these SMBHs are actively accreting and this can result in powerful outbursts which have important consequences for galaxy formation and evolution. However, the conditions under which a SMBH becomes active and the manner in which it interacts with its environment […]

Dan Dwyer (LBNL) – Demonstration of a true 3D micro-power sensor for liquid argon time projection chambers
Dan Dwyer (LBNL) – Demonstration of a true 3D micro-power sensor for liquid argon time projection chambers
Time projection chambers (TPCs) based on the ionization of cryogenic liquids are a prominent tool for neutrino oscillation, neutrinoless double beta decay, and dark matter experiments. Over the past two years I have pursued the development of a novel charge readout sensor providing true 3D imaging of particle interactions in large-scale liquid argon TPCs. The […]
