268. QUBIC: Exploring the primordial Universe with the Q&U Bolometric Interferometer

Prof. Aniello Mennella (University of Milan / INFN-Milan)

7/9/18, 3:00 PM

Oral presentation

QUBIC (the Q and U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology) is a CMB polarimeter designed to search the B-mode polarization of the CMB, the signature expected from primordial gravitational waves generated during the inflation phase of the early Universe.

QUBIC is currently being integrated and tested and will be installed in late 2018 in its observation site near San Antonio de los Cobres on...

147. First model independent results from DAMA/LIBRA–phase2

Prof. Pierluigi Belli (INFN - Roma Tor Vergata)

7/9/18, 3:30 PM

Oral presentation

The first results obtained by the DAMA/LIBRA–phase2 experiment are presented. The data have been collected over 6 independent annual cycles corresponding to a total exposure of 1.13 ton × yr, deep underground at the Gran Sasso Laboratory. The DAMA/LIBRA–phase2 apparatus, about 250 kg highly radio-pure NaI(Tl), profits from a second generation high quantum efficiency photomultipliers and of new...
