The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long baseline experiment under construction in the United States. Using a high-intensity neutrino beam produced at Fermilab, DUNE will measure the oscillation of muon (anti)neutrinos into electron (anti)neutrinos with a kilo tonne scale detector located in South Dakota. A near detector will be constructed in Fermilab to...
Observations have established that the dark matter mass density is about five times that of ordinary matter, rather than being orders of magnitude different. This coincidence is potentially explained by asymmetric dark matter. In almost all such models, however, while the number density asymmetries of ordinary and dark matter are related, the mass of the dark matter particle is left as a free...
Study of hadron spectrum provides one of the best avenues for understanding properties of the strong interactions in the non-perturbative regime. The spectrum of hadronic states containing one or more constituent strange quarks has not been well established compared to the spectrum of hadrons with lightest u- and d-quarks. In order to advance our knowledge of the hyperon spectrum, a new...
ALICE is a dedicated experiment built to probe and explore the high-density, deconfined QCD matter produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The complexity of these collisions—featuring numerous competing physics processes that influence the final detected particles—requires a vast amount of data and diverse measurements to unravel the properties of...
