28. IceCube: Opening a New Window on the Universe from the South Pole

Francis Halzen

10/6/19 11:10

The IceCube project has transformed a cubic kilometer of natural Antarctic ice into a neutrino detector. The instrument detects more than 100,000 neutrinos per year in the GeV to PeV energy range. Among those, we have isolated a flux of high-energy neutrinos of cosmic origin, with an energy density similar to that of high-energy photons and cosmic rays in the extreme universe. We recently...

29. Probing long-range interactions with atomic precision measurements

Elina Fuchs

10/6/19 11:40

The precision of atomic spectroscopy serves as a tool for particle physics and Dark Matter searches. New interactions between the nucleus and the electron mediated by a boson from beyond the Standard Model modify the atomic spectrum. I will present the sensitivity of different experimtal setups, such as King plots of isotope shifts, Rydberg states and dynamical decoupling, to long-range Yukawa...

30. Searching for Dark Matter with Paleo-Detectors

Patrick Stengel

10/6/19 12:10

A large experimental program is underway to extend the sensitivity of direct detection experiments, searching for interactions of Dark Matter with nuclei, down to the
neutrino floor. However, such experiments are becoming increasingly difficult and costly due to the large target masses and exquisite background rejection needed for the
necessary improvements in sensitivity. We investigate an...
