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.

Speaker: Dan Werthimer (UC Berkeley (SETI) “What’s New in SETI and High Performance Signal Processing, and The PANOSETI IR/Visible Ultra-Wide Field Nanosecond Time Scale Transient Search”
Speaker: Dan Werthimer (UC Berkeley (SETI) “What’s New in SETI and High Performance Signal Processing, and The PANOSETI IR/Visible Ultra-Wide Field Nanosecond Time Scale Transient Search”
Abstract: Dan will review current and SETI radio and optical searches, and also review CASPER open source technologies for real time signal processing instrumentation. The CASPER collaboration develops open source hardware, software, GPUware, FPGA gateware, tools, libraries, reference designs, tutorials, training videos, and workshops for astronomy instrumentation. CASPER instrumentation is utilized mostly for radio astronomy, […]

SPEAKER – Peter Craig (LBNL) – TITLE: “Effects of Microlensing on Time Delay Measurements from Strongly Lensed Supernovae”
SPEAKER – Peter Craig (LBNL) – TITLE: “Effects of Microlensing on Time Delay Measurements from Strongly Lensed Supernovae”
ABSTRACT: Strongly lensed supernovae are highly valuable cosmological probes, sensitive to both the Hubble constant and the distribution of dark matter. Measuring time delays in strong lensing systems allows for independent measurements of the Hubble constant, providing a mechanism to resolve the current Hubble tension. These time delays are also sensitive to the dark matter […]

SPEAKER – Nick Kokron (Stanford University) – TITLE: Pen-and-Paper Meets Supercomputing: Building Accurate Models for Cosmological Surveys
LOCATION: IN-PERSON - Sessler Conference Room Building 50A-5132 TITLE: Pen-and-Paper Meets Supercomputing: Building Accurate Models for Cosmological Surveys ABSTRACT: Stage-IV cosmological surveys are poised to revolutionize our understanding of the Universe. The vast data sets collected by surveys like DESI, Rubin and CMB-S4 will be orders of magnitude more powerful than their precursors from the […]
