The Fermilab Academic Lectures provide pedagogical introductions to topics of high current interest in particle physics and allied fields for graduate students, postdocs, and other inquiring minds. The 2013–2014 edition will focus on the scientific goals of ultrasensitive experiments and illuminate how the interplay among diverse experiments can lead us toward a more complete understanding the physical world.

Evidence for High-Energy Extraterrestrial Neutrinos at the IceCube Detector

December 16, 2013 by admin

Introduction: 
The kilometer-scale detector IceCube at the South Pole - the world’s largest neutrino telescope - has produced the first evidence of high-energy neutrinos of cosmic origin. In particular, they observed 28 high energy neutrinos events with in-detector deposited energies between 30 and 1200 TeV. arXiv:1311.5238

Neutrinos: Von der Welt der Elementarteilchen zum Kosmos

November 18, 2013 by admin

Interviewee image: 
Introduction: 
Neutrinos sind geisterhafte Teilchen, die unentwegt in großer Zahl um uns sind. Ihre Wechselwirkung mit normaler Materie ist so gering, dass sie uns und die ganze Erde durchdringen, ähnlich wie Licht durch Glas. In diesem Vortrag wird diese besondere Teilchensorte vorgestellt, verschiedene Neutrino-Quellen diskutiert, und deren Bedeutung für die Physik der Elementarteilchen sowie in der Kosmologie und Astrophysik hervorgehoben. Tatsächlich könnten Neutrinos bei der Erzeugung der Materie wenige Augenblicke nach dem Urknall - und somit auch für unsere Existenz - eine entscheidende Rolle gespielt haben.

The LUX experiment (for Large Underground Xenon) just released its first results in the race to identify the particle nature of dark matter. Dark matter particles - more specifically WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) - are so weakly interacting that they normally pass through regular matter unimpeded. The aim of LUX - the latest among many direct detection experiments, is to intercept a few of these elusive particles and measure the tiny quanta of light that they create as they collide with the atoms inside a detector.

"What is Dark Matter?" workshop will be held from 5-30 May 2014 at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Stockholm Sweden. There will be a separate short workshop dedicated to the presentation of latest results, "Latest results in Dark Matter Searches". This will be organized 12-14 May 2014.

Introduction: 
A famous and interesting property of neutrinos is how little they interact and hence their difficulty to be detected. As such our knowledge in this sector of particle physics is limited. There are three neutrino flavors...
