SUMMARY:INPA Seminar Speaker: Jennifer Pore(LBL)-Title: How the Cyclotron Saved the Periodic Table
DESCRIPTION:Date: November 7\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker:  Jennifer Pore \nTitle: How the Cyclotron Saved the Periodic Table \nAbstract: The Periodic Table is a cornerstone of chemistry\, but its validity is challenged by the extreme properties of superheavy elements (SHEs\, Z ≥ 104) and actinides (Z > 88). Relativistic effects\, stemming from their large nuclear charges\, significantly alter their chemical behaviors\, potentially limiting the predictive power of the Periodic Table. Unfortunately\, these elements do not exist naturally on earth and can only be produced in nuclear reactions. A new method has been developed\, using a cutting-edge atom-at-a-time technique at the 88-Inch Cyclotron Facility at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory\, to help us learn more about the interesting chemistry of these elusive elements. Recent results on the production and identification actinium (Ac\, Z = 89) and nobelium (No\, Z = 102) molecules will be presented. Future directions for unraveling the mysteries of SHE chemistry will be discussed\, which will challenge our current understanding of the Periodic Table. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011 \nPasscode: 247722

SUMMARY:INPA Seminar Speaker: Arran Phipps(CSU East Bay)-Title:SPLENDOR: Searching for Light Dark Matter with Narrow-Gap Semiconductors
DESCRIPTION:Date: November 14\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Arran Phipps (CSU East Bay) \nTitle: SPLENDOR: Searching for Light Dark Matter with Narrow-Gap Semiconductors \nAbstract: SPLENDOR is a cross-disciplinary collaboration developing novel semiconductor detectors to search for low-mass\, particle-like dark matter. Our approach combines low-bandgap semiconductor targets with ultra-low-noise cryogenic charge amplifiers to probe energy depositions below 1 eV. We have developed a modular detector platform optimized for rapid integration of new materials\, featuring a two-stage cryogenic HEMT-based amplifier with a demonstrated charge resolution of 19 ± 4 electrons. This talk will review the motivation for sub-GeV dark matter detection with low-temperature semiconductors\, describe SPLENDOR’s experimental design and calibration efforts\, and discuss future directions in device development and charge amplification. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011 \nPasscode: 247722
