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.
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.

Silvia Scorza (Snolab, Sudbury) – Updates from SNOLAB
Silvia Scorza (Snolab, Sudbury) – Updates from SNOLAB
Astroparticle physics experiments searching for rare events, such as neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter particles interactions, have to be shielded from background radiation that would interact and hide the physics of interest, and have to exhibit a radioactive background as low as possible. Therefore, underground site are preferred. Being protected from cosmic rays, […]

SPECIAL – Brittany Kamai (CalTech) – Looking further back with LIGO
SPECIAL – Brittany Kamai (CalTech) – Looking further back with LIGO
Gravitational wave detectors require constant innovation in detector technology to meet the growing needs of the astrophysics community. With improved sensitivity, we can move beyond the measurements in the local universe and perform precision tests of cosmology. I will discuss our efforts to reduce the amount of low frequency noise within the LIGO detectors, which has […]

Hillary Child – Nonlinear Structure Formation at Two Scales: from Bispectrum Baryon Acoustic Oscillations to Evolution of Halo Profiles
Hillary Child – Nonlinear Structure Formation at Two Scales: from Bispectrum Baryon Acoustic Oscillations to Evolution of Halo Profiles
The “cosmic web” of dark matter halos forms via the collapse of post-inflation density fluctuations. While linear perturbation theory describes this process well at large scales and low densities, it fails at small scales and high densities. I explore two facets of nonlinear structure formation that constrain cosmology: at mildly nonlinear scales, measuring the baryon […]

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.
Everyone is welcome to attend the open forum. Tea and light refreshments will be served.
