Searching for New Physics With Low-Energy Techniques - With Danielle Speller

Explore cutting-edge experiments at the intersection of nuclear, particle, and astrophysics in this 55-minute talk by Danielle Speller. Delve into low-background, cryogenic detection techniques used to search for tiny signals of undiscovered phenomena that could revolutionize our understanding of physics. Learn about the current state of particle physics and cosmology, including the standard model and concordance model, while examining challenges such as the matter-antimatter asymmetry and dark matter. Discover how researchers use advanced materials, sensors, and large detectors in underground facilities to conduct experiments like double beta decay searches. Gain insights into data collection, analysis, and the evaluation of results in the quest for new physics beyond the standard model.
