SUMMARY:VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | María Martínez (Universidad de Zaragoza)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: María Martínez ​(​Universidad de Zaragoza​)​ \nLocation: via Zoom \nTitle: Annual ​M​odulation ​R​esults ​F​rom ​Three​ ​–​Y​ear ​E​xposure of ANAIS-112 \nAbstract: \nFor more than 20 years\, the DAMA/LIBRA experiment at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory (Italy) has claimed a positive dark matter detection: an annual modulation in the low-energy detection rate compatible with the expected signal induced by dark matter particles due to the Earth rotation around the Sun. This signal is in strong tension with the negative results of other very sensitive experiments. However\, until recently a direct comparison using the same target material (NaI(Tl)) was lacking. ANAIS (annual modulation with NaI Scintillators) is a dark matter direct detection experiment located at the Canfranc Underground \n \nLaboratory (LSC\, Spain). Its main goal is to test in a model independent way the DAMA/LIBRA positive result. ANAIS-112 operates 112.5 kg of NaI(Tl) scintillators at the LSC since August 2017 and is taking data smoothly with excellent performances. Results from the first three years are compatible with the absence of modulation and incompatible with the DAMA/LIBRA measured modulation at more than 2.5 sigma C.L.\n\nIn this seminar I will briefly review the DAMA/LIBRA puzzle and the status of the experiments trying to reproduce it. Then I will introduce the ANAIS-112 experimental set-up\, the detector performance and analysis methods. Finally\, I will present the results of the annual modulation analysis corresponding to three years of ANAIS data\, the physical implications and the prospects for the 5 years of scheduled operation time.\n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting​ \n​https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95105088780\nMeeting ID: 951 0508 8780

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Alessio Porcelli (Ghent University)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Alessio Porcelli (Ghent University) \nTitle: Method To Measure The Cosmic Rays Mass Composition With IceCube/IceTop \nAbstract: \nThere is an intrinsic difficulty in measuring the mass of Cosmic rays at Ultra-High Energy. The only possible way involves measuring the Extensive Air Showers (EAS) characteristics produced by hadronic interactions of the incoming particle (primary) with the atmosphere: it behaves as a calorimeter producing secondary particles. EAS are characterized by a longitudinal profile along the shower development and a lateral one at the ground around the shower core. In the latter distribution\, because of the shower physics\, the information of the mass is delivered by the muon component. \nIceTop is part of the IceCube experiment\, sited at the geographic South Pole. While the latter consists of 86 strings drilled inside the ice covering a kilometer cube to detect neutrinos from astrophysical origins\, the former are stations on the top of such strings used to veto atmospheric neutrinos. IceTop consists of 81 stations\, each with two water Cherenkov detectors with two Photomultiplier Tubes each\, able to detect Cherenkov light produced by the crossing charged particles. This setup of detectors can also be used to measure the EAS lateral distribution\, letting IceCube be able to measure also Cosmic Rays with energies above 1 PeV and up to 1 EeV. \nTwo different approaches will be presented in the seminar\, using IceTop alone or together with the in-ice part of IceCube. Moreover\, improvement attempts will be depicted: analysis strategies and the incoming extension IceCube-Gen2. \n\nJoin Zoom Meeting  \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/93261885135?pwd=aFlsU1lHMGpHTE5SNlJaNTZENzBlQT09  \nMeeting ID: 932 6188 5135  \nPasscode: 113108

SUMMARY:SPECIAL VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Jingkai Xia (Shanghai Tech)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jingkai Xia (Shanghai Tech) \nTitle: Detector Study For New Generation Of Neutrino And Dark Matter Experiments In China \nAbstract: \nNon-zero neutrino mass and the existence of dark matter are two important observations beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Research on neutrino properties and dark matter detection will help to promote the discovery of new physics. New generation of neutrino and dark matter experiments are under construction or in commissioning in China\, where advanced detectors are the key to meet the scientific goals. In this talk\, I will introduce my work in detector research efforts in JUNO and PandaX-4T experiments\, as well as study on detector technique which may be utilized in future experiments in China.\n \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/96324647091?pwd=bG1JZzJldko4aFBQd2ZLbFR5NnU4Zz09\nMeeting ID: 963 2464 7091\nPasscode: 938213
