  1. 2. High Frequency Axion Searches at the University of Manchester
    Jamie McDonald (University of Manchester)
    09/04/2026, 10:45
    Astroparticle physics
    Parallel talk

    Axions are now one of the best motivated candidates for physics beyond the standard model. Cavity haloscopes search for these particles by converting them into microwaves in strong laboratory magnetic fields. I will give an overview of cavity searches for the QCD axion taking place at the University of Manchester in 26 - 40 GHz. I will also describe recently demonstrated quantum-noise limited...

  2. 34. When Supernova Neutrinos met Liquid Argon: using muons decaying-at-rest to look for MeV-scale electron neutrinos in SBND
    Lucy Kotsiopoulou (University of Edinburgh)

    Astroparticle physics
    Parallel talk

    In just under a ten-second period, a supernova explosion ejects debris and photons, while up to 99% of its entire explosive energy is carried away by neutrinos, the smallest known weakly-interacting fundamental particles. The explosion emits all neutrino flavours at tens-of-MeV energies, but the electron neutrino charged-current interaction (CCI) is the only way to infer the neutrino type and...

  3. 55. Are dark showers observables visible for us?
    Mr Miguel Angel Avendano Bernal (University of Southampton)

    Astroparticle physics
    Parallel talk

    In the study of dark matter detection at colliders, novel candidates have emerged to bridge between experimental data and theoretical models. Dark Showers (DS) are being studied as an extension of the Standard Model (SM), containing both invisible and visible particles that allow us to predict scenarios involving collider observables. Among these, Semi-Visible Jets (SVJs), represent a novel...

  4. 69. How Sensitive is Cosmic Inflation to Quantum Corrections?
    Lucien Heurtier (King's College London)
    09/04/2026, 11:30
    Astroparticle physics
    Parallel talk

    A lot. In this talk, I will present a non-perturbative framework that allows to track the dynamics of slow-roll inflation while consistently incorporating quantum corrections, based on an alternative functional renormalisation group (RG) approach. I will guide you through the derivation of a set of coupled Friedmann-RG flow equations governing the joint evolution of spacetime, the inflaton...

  5. 57. The Anatomy of a P-ONE Optical Module
    Alexia Alexander Wight (UCL)
    09/04/2026, 11:45
    Astroparticle physics
    Parallel talk

    The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE) is a planned cubic-kilometre-scale Cherenkov neutrino telescope to be deployed off the west coast of Canada, designed to detect high-energy neutrinos, from TeV to PeV energy scales, from astrophysical sources. The first string will be deployed later this year, with the full detector planned to be operational within the decade. P-ONE will join a...
