New Directions for Neutrino Physics using Non-cryogenic Liquid Tracking Detectors
Listen now
Description
Matt Wettstein gives a brief overview of the Large Area Picosecond Photodetector (LAPPD) project, an effort to develop compact, microchannel plate (MCP) photomultiplier tubes capable of sub-millimeter, sub nanosecond spatial resolutions and with potential for scalability to large experiments. Wettstein will also discuss steps taken towards the construction of experimental LAPPD-based neutrino detectors and the potential applications for such detector systems in answering the important questions of neutrino physics.

Events with three or more prompt leptons are rare at hadron colliders. At the LHC, where high interaction energies and rates create extremely busy final states, such multilepton events are well suited as a probe for new physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Mike Hance describes some recent...

The July 4th announcement of the discovery of a Higgs-like particle at CERN LHC is only the beginning of a challenging program of "Higgs Identification" to establish the quantum numbers and couplings of the new particle, and to reveal its relationship, if any, to electroweak symmetry-breaking and...

Jet substructure is typically studied using clustering algorithms, such as kT, which arrange the jets' constituents into trees. Instead of considering a single tree per jet, Tuhin Roy proposes that multiple trees should be considered, weighted by an appropriate metric. Then each jet in each event...
