The HeRALD design is sensitive to all signal channels produced by nuclear recoils in superfluid helium: singlet and triplet excimers, as well as phonon and roton vibrational excitations. Excimers are detected via... More » | |||

The crime involved the kidnapping of a young girl in 1957. The story made national news. The FBI entered the case in force and conducted an exhaustive investigation. However, no suspect was ever charged. The case went cold for over... More » | |||

The SENSEI team at Fermilab is designing and planning to fly a HAB mission(s) that carries a SkipperCCD to the edge of space in order to search for strongly interacting sub-GeV dark matter above 99.9% of Earth’s atmosphere.

How remarkable it would be if we made it in the lab by colliding light. Using the LHC as the highest energy broadband photon collider ever built opens dark matter searches using the missing momentum 4-vector via proton tagging. I then propose using heavy ion...

Improvements on this experimental technique might give new insights on dark sector. The technique is inspired in a nonlinear optics process known as “spontaneous parametric down conversion” in...

Finding such a rare signal would be an experimental triumph. I’ll review some of the essence of baryogenesis, B-L conservation in the Standard Model, the sphaleron, the possibility of B-L violation, why low scale baryogenesis should be investigated, and...

Consequencies are that world-line time (as in Feynman diagrams) is a closed loop with no beginning or end, different from thermodynamic or psychological time which is transient, not relevant at the Big...
