72. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment DUNE: Prospective Physics Program and Status

Dr Kevin Wood (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)

5/14/24, 10:30 AM

Neutrino Oscillations

Oral

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is the future flagship particle physics experiment of the US HEP program. It will measure the mass ordering within a few years, will make precision measurements of various neutrino oscillation parameters, and has the potential to make measurements of CP-violation in the neutrino sector with >5 (>3) sigma significance for 50% (>75%) of the...

104. Probing Astro- and Particle Physics with Supernova and Solar Neutrinos at SURF

Daniel Pershey (Florida State University)

5/14/24, 11:00 AM

Supernova & Solar Neutrinos

Oral

Many mysteries still surround the neutrino.  Despite being the most common massive particle in the universe, its basic properties, such as their mass, are still unknown, as they interact very rarely with matter.  They are produced copiously during the life cycles of stars.  Measuring neutrinos from the sun, pioneered by the Davis experiment at SURF, has confirmed the nuclear fusion processes...

71. Pushing Rare Event Search to the Limit with Machine Learning Algorithms

Aobo Li (University of California San Diego)

5/14/24, 11:30 AM

Advanced Data Analysis

Oral

Rare event searches allow us to search for new physics inaccessible with other means by leveraging specialized radiation detectors. Machine learning provides a new tool to maximize the information provided by these detectors. The information is sparse, which forces these algorithms to start from the lowest level data and design customized models to produce results. The focus of this seminar...
