Dark Matter and Neutrino Physics Measurements Underground at SNOLAB
January 26, 3:30pm - 4:30pmMānoa Campus, Wat. 112
Department of Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: Prof. Art McDonald, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, to speak on "Dark Matter and Neutrino Physics Measurements Underground at SNOLAB."
Abstract:
The expanded SNOLAB underground laboratory is in operation with
clean-room conditions throughout at a depth of 2 km in an active
nickel mine near Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. The existing and future
experimental program will be discussed with particular emphasis on: 1)
the DEAP-3600 experiment that will use 3600 kg of liquid argon to
detect dark matter particles and 2) the SNO+ experiment that will use
the refurbished SNO detector with liquid scintillator and a dissolved
neodymium compound to study neutrino-less double beta decay, low
energy solar neutrinos, geoneutrinos, supernova neutrinos and reactor
neutrinos.
