New COHERENT result in liquid argon
Jacob Zettlemoyer of IU presented the new COHERENT — first CEvNS in argon >3 sigma, in two parallel analyses– at the Fermilab Wine&Cheese seminar on Friday, January 10. The video is here. This was followed by a talk at MEPhI in Russia by Alex Kumpan.
Duke neutrinos attend Magnificent CEvNS
The Magnificent CEvNS workshop in Chapel Hill was attended by the entire group– it was a fantastic workshop covering many aspects of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering.
Adryanna Smith gave a talk on using CEvNS to observe supernova neutrinos, and Dan Pershey gave a talk on the potential for the COHERENT experiment to observe accelerator-produced dark matter. Crystal Burgos, Justin Raybern and Gleb Sinev all presented posters.
Nora Linzer’s triangulation paper is published
Nora’s paper exploring ability of next-generation detector to point to core-collapse supernovae using triangulation has been published in PRD. Congrats Nora!
