The SBC Collaboration is constructing a 10-kg liquid argon bubble chamber with scintillation readouts. The goal is to achieve 100 eV nuclear recoils detection with near-complete discrimination against electron recoil events. In addition to a dark matter search, SBC targets a CEvNS measurement of MeV-scale neutrinos from nuclear reactors. A high-statistics, high signal-to-background detection...

Particle astrophysics lies at the rich interface between astrophysics, cosmology and fundamental physics. It aims to find answers for the most fundamental questions about our universe, its origin and evolution, using the complementary information provided by the cosmic messengers that arrive to us: cosmic rays, neutrinos, photons and gravitational waves.
This lecture aims at telling the...

Over the past several decades physicists have made remarkable progress in understanding the fundamental building blocks of nature. Yet there remains much we still do not know. One of the biggest open questions in our Universe is the nature of dark matter. Cosmological and astrophysical observations point to the existence of a non-luminous and mysterious form of matter that is far more abundant...

Belle II and it's accelerator SuperKEKB are setting world records for the amount of data produced and collected in e^+ e^- collisions. This huge data set is being used to test the standard model through incredibly precise measurements of predictions made by the standard model and beyond. This session will outline the Belle II detector, our event selection algorithms, and highlights from our...

The PICO collaboration operates freon-filled bubble chambers for the direct detection of dark matter, focused primarily on the spin dependent WIMP-proton regime. This session will describe the history and basics of bubble chambers as particle detectors, their role in dark matter direct detection, and the PICO-40L chamber. PICO-40L is the current generation of bubble chamber being assembled...

Dark matter search is a high priority endeavour in our field. Building larger and more sensitive detectors underground in the next decades will provide an opportunity for new discoveries, but it will also require new technological developments to achieve that. Liquid argon has been used by many collaborations already and has proven to deliver high quality data, but one of the challenges that...

The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) experiment uses cryogenic semiconductor detectors instrumented with superconducting transition edge sensors to search for interactions caused by low-mass dark matter particles. In this talk I will describe the detection principle, experimental setup, and calibration and energy reconstruction techniques used by SuperCDMS that allow it to have...

The discovery of neutrino oscillation in atmospheric neutrinos by Super-Kamiokande (Super-K) and solar neutrinos by the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) led to their experiment's PIs sharing the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics. Both of these are water Chernkov detectors, Super-K with light water, and SNO with heavy water. A new generation of water Cherenkov detectors is being built to make...
