SUMMARY:Speaker: Daniel Carney (LBL)-TITLE: Proposal for a Levitated Invisible Particle Sensor
DESCRIPTION:This is an In-Person [HYBRID] Event \nLOCATION: Sessler Conference Room – 50A – 5132 \nDATE: March 3\, 2023 \nTIME: 12:00 PM \nTITLE: Proposal for a Levitated Invisible Particle Sensor \nABSTRACT: Recently Dave Moore (Yale)\, Kyle Leach (Mines) and I proposed the use of a levitated mechanical quantum sensor combined with a pixelated electron/photon detector to look for invisible particles\, particularly heavy sterile neutrinos in the keV-MeV range. The basic device consists of ~100nm scale silica spheres implanted with radioisotopes. When the isotope decays\, via beta or electron capture\, it will generically eject e-/gammas as well as a neutrino which escape the nanosphere\, while the daughter atom is trapped in the sphere and causes it to recoil. With measurement precision on the sphere recoil at the “standard quantum limit”–which we have already achieved in a similar device at Yale–one can kinematically reconstruct the emitted neutrino momentum. I’ll outline how this works\, compare it to previous AMO-y approaches (e.g. HUNTER)\, and talk about what we’d like to do at LBL. \nZOOM INFORMATION – \nJoin Zoom Meeting:  https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011\nPasscode: 247722

SUMMARY:[EVENT CANCELED]:SPEAKER: Jonathan Echevers (UCB)-TITLE: The EXO program: Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay Searches in Xe-136
DESCRIPTION:  \nEVENT CANCELED \nThis is an In-Person [HYBRID] Event \nLOCATION: Sessler Conference Room – 50A – 5132 \nDATE: March 17\, 2023 \nTIME: 12:00 PM \nTITLE: The EXO program: Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay Searches in Xe-136 \nABSTRACT: Neutrinoless double beta (0vBB) decay is currently one of the most compelling searches in nuclear and particle physics. If found\, it would imply the existence of Majorana fermions and lepton number violation\, both new physics beyond the Standard Model. The EXO-200 experiment consisted of a time projection chamber (TPC) with 200 kg of enriched liquid xenon (LXe)\, optimized to search for 0vBB of Xe-136. Data acquisition took place from 2011 to the end of 2018\, with a total exposure of 234.1kg yr. We found no statistically significant evidence for 0vBB\, leading to a lower limit on the half-life of 3.5×10^25 yr at the 90% confidence level (CL). The ultra-low background necessary for this search also provides a unique opportunity to probe other exotic processes\, such as Lorentz violation in double-beta decay\, electron recoils from dark matter\, Majoron emitting modes of double-beta decay\, and others. The first part of this talk will focus on the EXO-200 experiment and recent results for exotic-physics searches using this detector. In the second half of this presentation I will discuss the next generation experiment\, nEXO\, a 5 tonne LXe TPC with a projected 0vBB half-life sensitivity of 1.35×10^28 yr at the 90% CL in 10 years of data-taking. \nZOOM INFORMATION – \nJoin Zoom Meeting:https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEY\nmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011\nPasscode: 247722

SUMMARY:SPEAKER: Agnes Ferte (KIPAC\, SLAC)-TITLE: Preparing for discovery of new physics with the Rubin Observatory
DESCRIPTION:This is an In-Person [HYBRID] Event \nLOCATION: Sessler Conference Room – 50A – 5132 \nDATE: March 31\, 2023 \nTIME: 12:00 PM \nTITLE: Preparing for discovery of new physics with the Rubin Observatory  \nABSTRACT: The coming decade will offer a unique opportunity to tests physics using cosmological probes\, thanks to the new generation of galaxy surveys such as LSST by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and CMB experiments. We will be able to test dark energy and the laws of gravity on cosmic scales with unprecedented precision\, both through the evolution of the background and growth of structures in the Universe. I will explain the multiprobe analysis we performed\, especially focusing on weak gravitational lensing\, and results we obtained using Dark Energy Survey data (arxiv:2207.05766)\, precursor of LSST. I will then describe how such analyses with future data are shaping and the gaps left to fill. I will end by describing the status of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory\, under construction in Chile and its future. \nZOOM INFORMATION – \nJoin Zoom Meeting:https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEY\nmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011\nPasscode: 247722
