Rare b→sll decays serve as a valuable laboratory for probing the Standard Model (SM) flavour universality. These decays are sensitive to potential contributions from heavy mediators that are not accessible through direct searches. The LHCb detector plays a crucial role in this sector, as it is specifically designed to study hadrons containing b or c quarks. LHCb has conducted various analyses...
Since the COHERENT collaboration first observed coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS) in 2017, interest in this phenomenon has surged, leading to numerous global efforts to detect reactor neutrinos via CEνNS. Launched in 2019, the NEON (Neutrino Elastic Scattering Observation with NaI(Tl)) experiment aims to observe CEνNS from reactor neutrinos. Following the successful...
The unprecedented collision energy of the LHC has opened up a new discovery regime. The first LHC dedicated search experiment, MoEDAL, has inaugurated the lifetime frontier being optimised for searches of long-lived particles. MoEDAL is designed to search highly ionising particle avatars of new physics using proton and heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. The upgrade for MoEDAL at Run 3 - the MAPP...
The LEGEND collaboration aims to detect neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay in $^{76}$Ge using enriched high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors. In its first phase, LEGEND-200, the experiment has been collecting physics data for over a year using 140 kg of HPGe detectors deployed in a liquid argon cryostat, with plans to add more detectors in the near future. In this talk, we present the...
ICARUS (Imaging Cosmic and Rare Underground Signals), will operate as the Far Detector in the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program at Fermilab. It plays a key role in detecting the potential existence of sterile neutrinos in the eV mass region. The ICARUS detector consists of two large liquid Argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs), each holding 760 tons of liquid Argon. A crucial component...
To enhance the sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors, it is crucial to reduce noise within the 10 Hz to 10 kHz frequency range.
One effective method is to decrease shot noise by increasing the laser power.
This allows the achievement of noise specifications expected for the upcoming observation runs of Advanced Virgo and Advanced LIGO detectors, as well as for third generation...
