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.

SPECIAL VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR – Benjamin Schmidt (LBNL)
SPECIAL VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR – Benjamin Schmidt (LBNL)
Speaker: Benjamin Schmidt (LBNL) Title: A new limit from the search for 0νββ of 100Mo from the CUPID-Mo experiment Abstract: The CUPID-Mo experiment, currently taking data at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (France), is a demonstrator for CUPID, the next-generation upgrade of the first ton-scale cryogenic 0νββ-search, CUORE. The experiment is searching for 0νββ decay of […]

VIRTUAL SEMINAR Special INPA / Research Progress Meeting, Friday, July 17, 2020 – Michelle Galloway (University of Zurich)
VIRTUAL SEMINAR Special INPA / Research Progress Meeting, Friday, July 17, 2020 – Michelle Galloway (University of Zurich)
Speaker: Michelle Galloway (University of Zurich) Title: Observation of excess electronic recoil events in XENON1T Abstract: A search for new physics with XENON1T revealed an excess of electronic recoil events in the (1 - 7) keV region, favoring signal over background with significances of 3.5 sigma for solar axions/ALPs, 3.2 sigma for an enhanced neutrino […]

VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR – Hao Chen (Texas A&M University)
Speaker: Hao Chen (Texas A&M University) Title: Two New Cryogenic Detector R&D Abstract: It is well-accepted that the majority of the matter in the universe is dark and non-baryonic. The nature of dark matter, however, remains mysterious. Various proposed candidates span a wide range in the mass and cross section parameter space. Many experimental efforts […]

SPECIAL VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR – Geertje Heuermann (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)
SPECIAL VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR – Geertje Heuermann (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)
Speaker: Geertje Heuermann (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) Title: Active Shielding for Future Large-Scale Dark Matter Experiments Abstract: In this talk I will present the conceptual design of a water Cherenkov detector and a loaded liquid scintillator which effectively allow to reduce cosmogenic and radiogenic background sources in tonne scale dark matter detectors.

VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR – Gioacchino Ranucci (INFN) Italy
Speaker: Gioacchino Ranucci (INFN) Italy Title: First detection of solar neutrinos from the CNO cycle with Borexino Abstract: The liquid scintillator detector Borexino reported recently the direct observation of neutrinos produced in the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) fusion cycle in the Sun. This is the first experimental evidence of the existence of such reaction sequence in a […]

VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR – Jared Vann (Univ. of Liverpool)
Speaker: Jared Vann (University of Liverpool) Title: ARIADNE: Fast Optical Readout of Dual-Phase LArTPCs with Timepix3 Cameras Abstract: The ARIADNE experiment is a 1-ton dual-phase LArTPC with a novel optical readout method developed for applications in future Neutrino detectors. Optical readout is a potential alternative to existing charge based readouts in dual phase LArTPCs. The […]
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.
