The search for Dark Matter particles has spanned 40 years. Definitive results remain elusive, and the heat is on. In this talk, I will explore both the physics and the people of dark matter research: the challenges we face (which are not just the backgrounds in our detectors), the realities of working in high-pressure environments—both above and below ground - and the critical role of public...
An update from the early career UK ECFA representatives about the process of the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update and the UK and ECR inputs to the process. This session highlights in particular the relevance of this update to early career researchers, how survey inputs were used to create the ECR white paper input, and how to stay/become involved in this process moving forward....
