• Probing strong dynamics with cosmic neutrinos

    Seminario de Física Nuclear Facultad de Ciencias, Zaragoza, Spain

    Triggered by the IceCube detection of astrophysical neutrino candidates in the range of PeV energies, we propose to investigate the sensitivity of future South Pole neutrino-detection experiments to the neutrino-nucleon cross section. By using the combination of up- and down-going data of neutrinos, sensible to neutral current processes one can disentangle particle physics from astrophysics […]

  • Seminario de Temas Actuales-Dark Matter: The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment and an intriguing new dark matter search result

    Seminario de Física Nuclear Facultad de Ciencias, Zaragoza, Spain

    Abstract: The nature of dark matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in modern science. With plenty of different possible candidates and a wide mass range, Weakly Interactive Massive Particles (WIMPs) usually rises as one of the most promising candidates. The direct detection experiment LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) primarily searches for WIMPs using 7 tonnes of active […]

  • Seminario: The saga of muon tomography at CEA Saclay: from high-energy particle detector developments to societal applications

    Seminario de Física Nuclear Facultad de Ciencias, Zaragoza, Spain

    Abstract: Muon tomography is an imaging technique that exploits the limited flux of natural cosmic-ray muons to probe the interior of large and dense structures. At CEA Saclay, the development of this technology emerged from detector and electronics technologies originally developed for high-energy particle physics, and has since evolved towards applications far beyond fundamental physics.

  • Seminario Temas Actuales: Any Light Particle Search

    Seminario de Física Nuclear Facultad de Ciencias, Zaragoza, Spain

    Lecturer: Dr. Axel Lindner, Spokesperson of the ALPS II collaboration at DESY in Hamburg, Germany Abstract: ALPS II at DESY in Hamburg searches for axions — hypothetical particles that could help explain dark matter and other mysteries of modern physics. The experiment uses the “light-shining-through-awall” technique: laser light is sent toward a light-tight barrier, while […]
