Young Scientists' Session: Dark matter and astrophysical neutrinos
- Dariusz Gora
We investigate the effect of a dark matter component inside a neutron star using gravitational wave constraints coming from binary neutron star merger. We consider the nuclear matter using the relativistic mean-field model including $\sigma-\omega-\rho$ meson interaction. We study fermionic dark matter interacting with nucleonic matter via the Yukawa interaction inside the neutron star. We...
ICARUS is one of three liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) of the Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) Program at FNAL. SBN’s purpose is to address the observed neutrino measurement anomalies seen by experiments such as LSND and MiniBooNE, and the potential existence of sterile neutrinos. ICARUS underwent an overhaul at CERN and has now been transferred to FNAL where ICARUS will serve as...
Large-scale neutrino telescopes, such as Baikal-GVD or ORCA, require calibration and testing of the optical modules. Calibration methods typically use laser and LED-based systems to not only test the telescope's response to light, but also to monitor optical parameters of water, such as absorption and scattering lengths, which show seasonal changes in natural water bodies. In addition, the...
