SUMMARY:[SPECIAL] Speaker: Roohi Dalal (Princeton University)- Title: Cosmology and Systematics from Hyper Suprime-Cam Year 3 Data
DESCRIPTION:This is an In-Person [HYBRID] Event \nLOCATION: Sessler Conference Room 50A-5132  \nDATE: June 2\, 2023 \nTIME: 12:00- 1:00 PM \nTITLE: Cosmology and Systematics from Hyper Suprime-Cam Year 3 Data \nABSTRACT: The Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey is the deepest Stage III weak lensing experiment\, going to ~26 mag with exquisite seeing. The depth and image quality achieved by HSC allow us to probe cosmology using weak lensing upto high redshifts\, and these analyses serve as important preparatory studies for the next generation of weak lensing surveys. I will discuss our constraints on cosmological parameters using weak lensing cosmic shear power spectra measured from the Year 3 shear catalog of HSC\, covering 416 square degrees of the northern sky. After giving a brief overview of our cosmological analysis\, and our new constraint on the S8 parameter\, I will focus on systematics that have been important and distinguishing factors in our analysis\, including photometric redshift uncertainties\, systematics from higher order PSF moments\, and uncertainties in the modeling of baryonic feedback. I will show that we have made a number of conservative choices to ensure that our analysis is robust to these systematics and share some lessons learned that will enable future surveys to hopefully no longer be limited by such systematics. \nJoin Zoom  \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011\nPasscode: 247722

SUMMARY:Speaker: Brendan Crill (Jet Propulsion Laboratory\, California Institute of Technology) Title: SPHEREx: NASA's all-sky near-infrared spectral survey
DESCRIPTION:This is an In-Person [HYBRID] Event \nLOCATION: INPA Common Room – 50- 5026 \nDATE: June 9\, 2023 \nTIME: 12:00- 1:00 PM \nTITLE: SPHEREx: NASA’s all-sky near-infrared spectral survey \nABSTRACT: SPHEREx is a NASA Astrophysics Explorer mission to produce a near-infrared all-sky spectrophotometric survey.   The 2-year mission will measure spectra of every 6-arcsecond pixel on the sky between 0.75 and 5 microns at spectral resolution varying between R=35 and 130.   SPHEREx’s instrument is based on a 30-cm off-axis telescope feeding six Teledyne H2RG detectors behind linear variable filters.  The mission is optimized to address three science themes: 1. Inflation in the early Universe through large scale structure\, 2. the history of galaxy formation by measuring spectra of the extragalactic background fluctuations\, and 3. the inventory of biogenic ices in our own Galaxy by surveying ice spectral absorption features towards stars.  This talk will describe the unique instrument and survey\, and address prospects for constraints on inflationary cosmology through a 3D galaxy redshift survey with the SPHEREx data. \nJoin Zoom  \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011\nPasscode: 247722

SUMMARY:Speaker: Ben Smithers (UTA)- Title: A Multi-Channel Search for Signatures of eV-Scale Sterile Neutrinos in IceCube
DESCRIPTION:This is an In-Person [HYBRID] Event \nLOCATION: Sessler CR\, 50A-5132 \nDATE: June 16\, 2023 \nTIME: 12:00- 1:00 PM \nTITLE: A Multi-Channel Search for Signatures of eV-Scale Sterile Neutrinos in IceCube \nABSTRACT: The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer-scale neutrino observatory built using a gigaton of instrumented ice near the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica; it measures the Cherenkov light emitted by the daughter particles of neutrino-nucleon interactions occurring inside and around the detector from neutrinos of both astrophysical and atmospheric origin. For eV2-scale sterile neutrino models\, matter-effects can yield resonant $\bar{\nu}_{\mu}\to\bar{\nu}_{s}$ oscillations for TeV-scale up-going neutrinos. For certain combinations of mixing angles\, this is also expected to yield resonant $\bar{\nu}_{\mu}\to\bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ oscillations at the same energies and zeniths as the $\nu_{\mu}$ disappearance. This superimposed $\nu_{\mu}$ disappearance and $\nu_{\tau}$ appearance presents itself as an ideal signature with which we can search for indications of sterile neutrino oscillations. Here\, we discuss a multi-channel analysis searching for signs of both resonant muon neutrino disappearance as well as tau neutrino appearance. \nJoin Zoom  \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011\nPasscode: 247722
