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
