During the past decade the incorporation of machine learning techniques, particularly deep learning, has led to innovation within the field of (astro)particle physics. Given the success of deep learning methods, machine learning applications in direct dark matter experiments have seen increased attention. In this talk, we discuss some of such applications in the current generation of direct...
Detection of neutrinos at ultra-high energies (UHE, $E >10^{17}$eV) would open a new window to the most violent phenomena in our universe. Radio detection remains the most promising technique at these energies. However, owing to the expected small flux of UHE neutrinos, the detection rate will be small, with just a handful of events per year, even for large future facilities like the...
LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) is a mission to detect gravitational waves from space, in the low-frequency band, not accessible from the ground but with a very rich science potential. LISA is a large-class mission of the European Space Agency (ESA), with a significant participation of NASA, that was selected on 2017, after the success of the LISA Pathfinder mission, and is expected...
The GENETIS project aims to optimize detector designs for science outcomes. The interdisciplinary team brings a particular expertise in radio applications. This student-driven project started in 2018, is so far optimizing antennas for both the Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) and PUEO experiments for the highest number of detections of astrophysical neutrinos via Askaryan radio emission from...
The SWGO experiment aims at measuring ultra-high-energy gamma ray
showers through an array of water Cherenkov tanks deployed at high
altitude in the southern emisphere. A measurement of photon flux entails
the separation of hadronic backgrounds and a precise energy and position
reconstruction. In this presentation we propose a method for the optimization of the placement on the ground of...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will use an intense neutrino beam created in Illinois and sent through the Earth to a large liquid argon detector in South Dakota. The neutrino beam, part of the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF), will consist of a 120 GeV proton beam which will impinge a long graphite target. Mesons produced in the target will be focused by three magnetic...
Liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) play a crucial role in the current and coming particle detection experiments, offering exceptional tracking and calorimetric capabilities.
To enhance the accuracy of detector simulations and enable realistic physics analyses, the particle physics community has focused on refining simulators through dedicated calibration measurements. However,...
