Other reports from collaborative research projects and national scientific groups may be shown elsewhere owing to speaker availability
The ESSnuSB is a proposed long-baseline neutrino-oscillation experiment with neutrino beam production at the ESS in Lund and detection of the oscillated beam in a megaton-scale water-Cherenkov detector 360-540 km downstream. The beam would be measured before oscillation at the near-detector (ND) complex close to the production point in Lund, with the dual purpose of providing a direct neutrino...
Picoseconds after the Big Bang, the Universe experienced a phase transition into a state of lower energy, in which nearly all fundamental particles became massive by interacting with the Higgs field. About 13.8 billion years later, the 2013 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Englert and Higgs for discovering this mass-generating mechanism, confirmed by the observation of a spin-0 neutral...
This contribution provides an overview of the status of the Knut and Alice Wallenberg project “Light Dark Matter”, a collaboration between experimental and theoretical particle and nuclear physicists from Lund University, Chalmers and Stockholm University. The project addresses the possible existence of sub-GeV dark matter in a very comprehensive way. Its activities range from the setup of a...
In the SHIFT project, funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation, experimental and theoretical physicists at Chalmers, Stockholm and Uppsala collaborate in the search for top partners that could potentially solve the Higgs fine-tuning problem. The work includes phenomenological studies of models with top partners, direct searches for top partners in compositeness and supersymmetry as...
The plasma haloscope is a novel method for the detection of the resonant conversion of axions to photons. Traditional cavity haloscopes compensate for the momentum mismatch between the axion and the massless photon by breaking translational invariance, for instance through implementing physical structures on the order of the axion Compton wavelength. This makes reaching higher axion masses a...
