Thursday morning: Dark, Neutrino, DBD
- Jon Erik Urheim (Indiana University)
The search for dark matter with masses below the WIMP regime, that is, in the MeV to GeV range, has aroused a great deal of recent interest. In this mass region, accelerator experiments can explore the production dark matter down to the thermal relic limit. This talk will review the various experimental approaches, with some emphasis on LDMX (the Light Dark Matter eXperiment), a nascent...
Neutrino-nuclear interactions have been crucial from the discovery of neutrinos through the flagship neutrino oscillation experiments of today. At low energy, knowledge of weak form factors and nuclear structure are intertwined with ongoing studies of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, and for the detection of supernova neutrinos. For high energy neutrino sources, deep inelastic...
Observation of neutrinoless double beta decay would profoundly impact our understanding of the neutrino. This lepton-number violating process requires new beyond Standard Model physics, would imply that neutrinos are Majorana particles, and provide insight into the nature of neutrino mass. It is thus a highly-sensitive and promising probe of new physics. In this talk, I will present the status...
