Pérez Torres (Investigador científico del IAA-CSIC ) Abstract: In this talk, I trace the evolution of radio astronomy from its origins in the 1930s to the new […]
Giovanni Pierobon is a researcher in New South Wales U., Sydney, Australia. Title: The role of simulations in the direct detection of axion dark matter Abstract: In this talk we will assess to detectability of axion dark matter in the post-inflationary scenario. We will focus on the QCD axion, a one parameter model introduced by
Searching for sub-GeV particle dark matter with Spherical Proportional Counters The NEWS-G collaboration is searching for light dark matter using spherical proportional counters. Access to 50 MeV to 10 GeV mass range is enabled by the combination of single electron threshold, light gaseous targets (H, He, Ne), and highly radio-pure detector construction. Most recently, new
DESI-Y1: New light on the dark Universe Eusebio Sánchez, Scientific researcher at CIEMAT, PI of the Cosmology Group Abstract: The beginning of the 21st century brought the development and confirmation of the standard model of cosmology, LCDM. The Universe is made of a 70% of dark energy in the form of a cosmological constant, a
Jorge Sanz Forcada, Investigador Científico en el Centro de Astrobiología, del INTA-CSIC Abstract: Currently known extrasolar planets population is biased towards short-period planets. They tend to be highly irradiated. Photons in the XUV range (1-912 A) are of special importance in this context because they ionize neutral H atoms, yielding planetary atmosphere photoevaporation, which in
Speaker: Giacomo Landini, postdoctoral researcher, Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC) Abstract: The Peccei-Quinn mechanism is regarded as the most compelling solution to the Strong CP Problem of the Standard Model. It relies on a new global U(1) symmetry that is spontaneously broken, giving rise to an ultra-light scalar field known as the axion. Notably,
Carlos Pobes is a Senior Scientist, Institute of Nanoscience and Materials of Aragon (INMA, CSIC – UNIZAR) Abstract: In this seminar, we will learn about the peculiarities of a large facility, the Amundsen-Scott scientific base at the South Pole, and then explore one of the unique experiments installed there, the IceCube neutrino telescope. We will
Neutrino Physics at Low Energy: Coherent Scattering and the CONUS Experiment Lecturer: Kaixiang Ni (Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik (MPIK), Heidelberg) Abstract: Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering(CEνNS) is a standard model neutrino interaction with energy down to keV level. It is predicted to have the largest cross-section, but only until 2017 was it first detected by the COHERENT
