SUMMARY:[Special] Speaker: Mark Anderson(Queen's University) Title: Advancing nuclear and particle physics with deep learning: from event reconstruction to signal denoising
DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL INPA SEMINAR \nDate:  Thursday\, February 1\, 2024 \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nLocation: INPA Conference Room–5026 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Mark Anderson (Queen’s University) \nTitle: Advancing nuclear and particle physics with deep learning: from event reconstruction to signal denoising \nAbstract: In this talk\, I will present my research on advancing nuclear and particle physics using deep learning. The first portion of the presentation will focus on the SNO+ experiment\, a multi-purpose neutrino experiment with the primary goal of searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay. In particular\, my work involves developing deep learning-based techniques for event reconstruction of particle interactions in the detector. Currently\, SNO+ uses a chain of algorithms involving maximum likelihood estimation. I will demonstrate that my independent\, deep learning approach can be used to improve the reconstruction accuracy\, while also offering substantial gains in speed. This has implications on volume fiducialization and background rejection.\nIn the second part of my talk\, I will present studies on a deep convolutional autoencoder designed to remove electronic noise from a p-type point contact high purity germanium detector. With their intrinsic purity and excellent energy resolutions\, these detectors are suitable for a variety of rare event searches such as neutrinoless double-beta decay\, dark matter candidates\, and other exotic physics. However\, noise from the readout electronics can make identifying events of interest more challenging. I will highlight several studies that show that detector performance can be improved when signals are denoised with the autoencoder\, leading to better physics outcomes.\nWhile both of these projects are applied to data from specific detector technologies\, the methods I have developed are broadly applicable. The groups I work with have begun exploring new applications of my research with promising results. At the end of the talk\, I will discuss some specific extensions and provide an outlook for the future. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011 \nPasscode: 247722

SUMMARY:[Special] Speaker: Alec Lindman (University of Mainz) Title: Atomic tritium for next-generation neutrino mass measurement with Project 8
DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL INPA SEMINAR \nDate:  Thursday\, February 15\, 2024 \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room–50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Alec Lindman (University of Mainz) \nTitle: Atomic tritium for next-generation neutrino mass measurement with Project 8 \nAbstract: Neutrinos provide a window to physics beyond the Standard Model through their nonzero mass\, but new technology is required to push below current limits. Project 8 is a next-generation direct neutrino mass experiment with a sensitivity of 40 meV/c^2. We have established a new frequency-based technique\, cyclotron radiation emission spectroscopy (CRES)\, to make precise\, differential measurements of the endpoint region of the tritium beta-decay spectrum. Atomic tritium will improve Project 8’s sensitivity by 10 to 30 times over a similar molecular experiment. This talk will focus on the development of the new technologies to enable the atomic tritium experiment. I will outline Project 8’s atomic architecture\, which includes large magnetic traps (~ 50 m^3) that store atoms at ~ 1 mK to benefit from CRES’s volume scaling\, a chain of atom cooling and transport elements to maintain the intended density in the trap\, and a tritium-compatible atom source that can provide the necessary flux of 10^19 atoms/s. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011\n\nPasscode: 247722 \n

SUMMARY:Speaker: Juliana Stachurska (MIT) Title: Large-volume CRES detectors for the Project 8 neutrino mass measurement
DESCRIPTION:INPA SEMINAR TALK \nDate:  Friday\, February 16\, 2024 \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room–50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Juliana Stachurska (MIT) \nTitle: Large-volume CRES detectors for the Project 8 neutrino mass measurement \nAbstract: Project 8 is a next-generation experiment aiming to directly measure the neutrino mass using the tritium endpoint method with a targeted sensitivity of 40 meV. The development of new technology and methods are required to reach this unprecedented sensitivity. Having established a new measuring technique\, Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy (CRES)\, we are now focusing on the scaling of CRES to large volumes and the development of an atomic source for a pilot-scale CRES experiment with atomic tritium.
