Plenary

I discuss Quarkyonic Matter as an explanation for observed characteristics of neutron star matter. I also argue that the onset of density of Quarkyonic Matter is near that of nuclear matter based on quark distributions measured in deep inelastic scattering. The appearance of Quarkyonic Matter in the phase diagram for QCD at finite temperature and density is quantitatively estimated.

The XENONnT experiment is aiming for the direct detection of dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) by investigating potential interactions with ordinary matter using a liquid xenon (LXe) time projection chamber. The detector, operating at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy, contains a total xenon mass of 8.6 tonnes, of which 5.9 tonnes are...
