IC443, a shell-type supernova remnant, provides a unique environment for studying cosmic ray acceleration at shock fronts and interactions with an adjacent molecular cloud. In this remnant, high-energy protons and nuclei interact with the dense interstellar medium, leading to gamma-ray production through pion decay.
My ongoing research utilizes VERITAS data and the advanced, open-source...
The Canadian led international MoEDAL-MAPP (MMF) facility at the LHC consists of four detectors: MoEDAL (approved in 2010), MAPP-1 (approved in 2021), the MAPP-1 Outrigger (submitted to the LHCC for approval), and, MAPP-2 (the NoI to be submitted in 2025). These detectors are designed to detect: Highly Ionizing Particle (HIP), Feebly Ionzing Particle (FIP), and Long Lived Particle (LLP)...
The proposed Forward Physics Facility (FPF) is an underground cavern at zero degrees to IP1 with the space and infrastructure to support a suite of far-forward experiments at the Large Hadron Collider in the High Luminosity era (HL-LHC). The Forward Liquid Argon Experiment (FLArE) is a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) based detector designed for very high-energy neutrinos and...
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is preparing to enter the high-luminosity era in a few years, where the ATLAS detector will operate under unprecedented conditions, with up to 200 proton-proton collisions per bunch crossing. This gives rise to technical challenges such as increased radiation damage, higher data rates, and detector occupancy, which require significant upgrades. To address these...
For the High Luminosity Upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider, the ATLAS experiment will replace its current Inner Detector with an all-silicon Inner Tracker (ITk), which consists of pixel and strip systems. Relative to the current detector, the ITk features larger forward coverage, an order-of-magnitude increase in granularity, and improved radiation hardness. Its significantly enhanced...
