| May 30, 2019, 4:30 pm US/Central | HeRALD: Light Dark Matter with Superfluid Helium | Doug Pinckney, UMass | HeRALD, the Helium Roton Apparatus for Light Dark matter, will use a superfluid helium target to study the sub-GeV dark matter parameter space. 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 » | |

| July 25, 2019, 4:30 pm US/Central | Bayes Theorem and the Case of the Busted Alibi | Steve Kent | The oldest cold case murder in US history ever to be solved occurred right here in Northern Illinois, in the city of Sycamore. 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 » | |

| Aug. 8, 2019, 4:30 pm US/Central | Homogeneity and Efficiency of FNAL MKIDs | Israel Hernandez | ||
| Aug. 15, 2019, 4:30 pm US/Central | High Altitude Balloons — The Cheapest and Quickest Way to Get Detectors Above 99.9% of the Atmosphere | Hunter Hall, JPL/Berkeley | A typical high altitude balloon (HAB) can reach altitudes ~38km (120,000ft) lifting a payload of ~6kg (13lbs). 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. NASA’s Jet Propulsion... More » | |

| Nov. 7, 2019, 4:30 pm US/Central | Molecular Scintillators: What Organic Chemistry Can do for Dark Matter Direct Detection | Carlos Blanco, U Chicago | ||
| Nov. 14, 2019, 4:30 pm US/Central | Colliding light to make dark matter and measure tau g–2 | Jesse Liu, U Chicago | Dark matter is mysterious because it doesn’t interact with light. 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...

| Nov. 21, 2019, 5:00 pm US/Central | Dark sector searches using nonlinear optics | Mattias Senger | In my talk I will explore a way to combine nonlinear optics with dark sector searches, and talk about a “toy experiment” we have running at SiDet. 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...

| Dec. 5, 2019, 4:30 pm US/Central | Baryogenesis, Neutron Oscillations, and Looking Toward Future Experiments | Josh Barrow, UTK | Just one of Sakharov’s conditions of baryogenesis has not yet been observed experimentally: baryon number violation. 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...
