SUMMARY:VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Tongyan Lin (UCSD)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tongyan Lin (UC San Diego) \nTitle: Direct Detection of Sub-GeV Dark Matter with the Migdal Effect in Semiconductors \nAbstract: \nAs direct detection experiments expand the search for sub-GeV dark matter and lower their energy thresholds\, the many-body physics of crystals can be increasingly important and also be used to enhance discovery potential. In this talk\, I will discuss the Migdal effect in semiconductors\, which is the creation of charge signals from inelastic dark matter-nucleus scattering. The Migdal effect has previously been studied in atomic targets\, and used to set limits in liquid Xe experiments. Because of the smaller gap for electron excitations\, we find that the rate for the Migdal effect is much higher in semiconductors\, and accounting for it can significantly improve the reach of experiments. \nJoin Zoom Meeting  \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/92147497949 \nMeeting ID: 921 4749 7949 \nPasscode: 441771

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Elena Gramellini (Fermilab)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: ​Elena Gramellini (​Fermilab) \nTitle: Seeing the ​L​ight in ​P​ixelated TPCs: Q-Pix and LILAr  \nAbstract: \nNoble elements Time Projection Chambers (TPC) are the detector technology of choice for the next generation of discovery at the intensity frontier. These detectors provide a number of experimental handles\, such as full 3D-imaging\, excellent particle identification and precise calorimetric energy reconstruction which makes them extremely flexible tools suitable for a wide range of physics measurements. Indeed\, TPC applications range from dark matter\, rare decays and capture\, neutrino oscillations and nucleon decay\, and neutrino less double beta decay. A key feature of noble elements for particle detectors is the double response to the passage of charged particles in the active volume\, in the form of correlated ionization charge and scintillation light. \nIn the context of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE)\, the liquid argon community is showing great interest in developing a large scale pixelated charge readout for multi-kTon scale detectors. Pixels offer a number of benefits compared to the traditional 2D projective wire readout\, ranging from the robustness against single point failure to the native 3D nature of the data. However\, a light detection solution which would allow the full exploitation of the detection capabilities for pixelated TPCs needs to be developed:  the solutions used in traditional 2D wires projective readouts are not satisfactory (nor easily applicable). In this seminar\, we present Q-Pix — the technology which could translate pixelated readout into a reality for multi-kTon scale TPCs — and LILAr — an imaginative idea for light detection systems in pixelated TPCs. \nJoin Zoom Meeting https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/94272918445?pwd=ZHFCWUpZUXZyM2J5UVdMSmtsa1Fxdz09 \nMeeting ID: 942 7291 8445 \nPasscode: 188851

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Patrick Komiske (MIT)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Patrick Komiske (MIT) \nTitle: Optimizing Particle Physics With Machine Learning \nAbstract: \nExciting new advances in particle physics\, particularly in the area of jet physics at colliders such as the LHC\, are being driven by machine learning (ML) methods. For example\, in just a few short years\, the state of the art for important tasks such as jet classification has progressed from cutting on single observables to hyper-variate classifiers that can be trained directly on data. In this talk\, I will discuss these and other developments that demonstrate broad synergy between ML and particle physics\, including training and calibrating jet classifiers directly on data\, visualizing and quantifying jets from the CMS Open Data with a recently proposed metric between collider events\, and simultaneously unfolding multiple observables with the OmniFold method. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/96028254060?pwd=OUxQbmNzVXpFNkk0YTZLdUtTczhGQT09 \nMeeting ID: 960 2825 4060\nPasscode: 456994
