Hadronic Contributions to Muon g-2 and Spin Structure Functions Wednesday, 30 May 2018 14:20 (20 minutes)

I will discuss the relation, viz. Schwinger’s sum rule, between the g-2 and the spin structure functions. It allows one to assess the hadronic (as well as other) contributions to muon g-2 by measuring the structure function. The latter can be accessed experimentally in inelastic muon- electron scattering. I will outline the prospects of such measurements at the muon-beam facilities.

Large-Nc HPNC Analyses Post NPDGamma Saturday, 2 June 2018 17:10 (20 minutes)

It has long been appreciated that low-energy weak parity non-conserving interactions between nucleons are governed by five S-P amplitudes, as originally described by Danilov. The formalism can also be recast in pionless effective field theory, where the low-energy constants (LECs) arethe coefficients of the Danilov amplitudes. Lacking five high-quality independent constraints onthese LECs, many past analyses have relied on meson exchange theory for some guidance as to which of the five amplitudes might be dominant. This approach has had mixed success in correlating the data, particularly as no experimental evidence has so far emerged for a nonzero weak pion- nucleon-nucleon coupling. Recently a new hierarchy for the LECs has emerged from large Nc QCD. I describe a recent analysis based on this approach, one that appears to describe existing data quite well, while altering the relationships among past and anticipated experiments. I discuss how NPDGamma, other new experiments, and a future lattice QCD calculation of the isotensor Danilov amplitude will further advance the field.

New Evaluation of the γW -box Correction to 0+ − 0+ Nuclear β-Decay and Vud Extraction Wednesday, 30 May 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

Current most precise knowledge of the value of Vud is obtained from the analysis of a number of superallowed nuclear β-decays. At present, the main limitation in precision of this determination is due to radiative corrections, more specifically the “inner” γW -box correction that is independent of the electron spectrum but depends on hadronic structure. A novel dispersion formulation of the γW -box is developed. It allows to test the validity and improve the previous evaluation of Marciano and Sirlin, which was based on several semi-empiric assumptions. Further effects, such as possible effects of the nuclear excitations both on inner and outer corrections are discussed.

Overview of Decay-At-Rest Neutrino Sources Thursday, 31 May 2018 14:40 (20 minutes)

Recently, the idea of Decay-At-Rest (DAR) neutrino sources has gained in popularity due to their well understood energy spectrum and flavor composition. Currently, there are experiments being proposed which use decay-at-rest from kaons, pions, muons, and isotopes. I will present an overview of the decay-at-rest process, and the experiments being developed. After looking at the bigger picture, I will focus on particle accelerator driven decay-at-rest and the technology necessary to achieve the experimental goals (e.g. discovering sterile neutrinos).

Direct Search for Dark Photons and Dark Higgs with the SeaQuest Spectrometer at Fermilab Wednesday, 30 May 2018 16:50 (20 minutes)

The SeaQuest experiment has been in operation since 2011 and is designed to study nuclear dependent Drell-Yan productions in the dimuon channel using the high intensity 120 GeV proton beam from the Main Injector on various thin nuclear targets (about ∼ 0.1 nuclear interaction lengths each). It provides an ideal setting for dark photon and dark Higgs search in a parameter space of great interest. In this energy, through kinetic mixing, the postulated low-mass (∼< 10 GeV) dark photon (and/or dark Higgs) particles could be produced in the Drell-Yan like q +q ¯ (or g + g) fusion processes in high energy proton + nucleus collisions, mostly in the beam dump (p + F e) and decay into dimuons (or di-electrons). For this search, a dedicated displaced-vertex trigger detector was built, installed and commissioned with upgraded DAQ in 2017. This trigger uses two planes of extruded scintillators to identify dimuons originating far downstream of the target, and is sensitive to dark photons (dark Higgs) that travel deep inside the beam dump before decaying to dimuons. We successfully took one week worth of production data parasitically with the E906 experiment in 2017. We will continue taking additional data parasitically alongside the upcoming SeaQuest polarized proton target physics program (E1039) for several years. In this talk wewill present the latest status of the preliminary dark photon search from 2017 data and also discuss future opportunity.

Nucleon Spin Structure Measurements at JLab Thursday, 31 May 2018 15:00 (20 minutes)

We will summarize the longitudinal and transverse spin measurements at JLAB. First, we will present the published and preliminary experimental results. They belong to a first phase ofre- search using JLab’s 6 GeV beam that covered the interface between the perturbative and nonperturbative domains of QCD. Furthermore, we have results pertaining to these two domains, e.g. high-x DIS on one side of the interface and the chiral domain on the other side. We will then discuss the impact of these measurements, showing in particular how they trigger theoretical advances for AdS/QCD, hadron spectroscopy and GPDs. We conclude by discussing the future spin program with the JLab upgraded 12 GeV beam.

Using X-Ray Femtoscope and X-Ray Telescope We Verified that Dark Matter Behaves as Catalyst or as Inhibitor of the Nuclear Reactions Friday, 1 June 2018 18:30 (1 hour)

The X-ray femtoscope predictions: 1) Dark matter has resonances for the chemical elements Cr, Xe and Tm, which corresponds tothe forces that gave the name to the WIMPs with adjustment of R2 = 0.996. 2) Navier Stokes equations and solutions for the atomic nucleus are robust, since they naturally deliver the values of the following constants: neutron radius rn = 0.843 fm, measured for the first time, nuclear viscosity 9.77 × 1022 ≤ ≤ 1.08 × 1023 fm2/s and Rydberg constant. 3) Dark matter produce nuclear catalysis.

The X-ray telescope proofs: 1) Fluorescent dark matter has resonances in emission and absorption at low X-ray energies (3.5 keV). 2) Gravity appears indirectly through the first analytical solution to the millennium problem, associated with the Navier Stokes (NS) equations, which govern the stability of the incompressible nuclear fluid, and which have the range of magnitude of the gravity 10−30. 3) Dark matter interacts with baryonic matter as a catalyst or as an inhibitor, so it isnotconsumed in the nuclear reaction for Chandra X-Ray Galaxy Clusters at z < 1.4.

Recent Status of Weak-Interaction Tests via Precision Superallowed Beta-Decay Measurements at TRIUMF Wednesday, 30 May 2018 17:50 (20 minutes)

Tests of the Standard Model through precision measurements of nuclear decay properties have proven to be a valuable tool in experimental subatomic physics. Of these investigations, 0+ → 0+ β-decay decay data are among the most important, as they currently provide the most precise determinations of both the vector coupling strength in the weak interaction, GV , and the up- down element of the CKM quark mixing matrix, Vud. These studies also provide some of the best constraints on the possibility of additional quark generations, as well as limits on exotic currents in the weak interaction. The three quantities that are required for performing these tests (branching ratio, half-life, and Q-value) can all be measured to high-precision with rare-isotope beams at the TRIUMF-ISAC facility in Vancouver, Canada. In this talk, I will highlight recent experimental work with both the GRIFFIN spectrometer and the TITAN ion-trap system, as well as theoretical advances towards first-principle nuclear-structure corrections. Finally I will provide a picture of where the remaining critical measurements still reside, and where work at TRIUMF is headed in the near future.

Model Independent Constraints on R(J/ψ) Tuesday, 29 May 2018 16:10 (20 minutes)

BR + → + BR + → LHCb has recently presented a measurement of R(J/ψ) = (Bc J/Ψτ ν¯τ )/ (Bc + J/Ψµ ν¯µ). The value, R(J/ψ) = 0.71 ± 0.17 ± 0.18 is in mild tension with the range of model predictions 0.25-0.28. The model transition form factors dominate the systematic uncertainty of the measurement and limit the predictions to a range of values. To improve this situation, we have undertaken to compute model-independent constraints on the transitions form factors via dispersive methods. This allow for rigorous error estimates to be assigned and R(J/ψ) to be computed.

Lessons from HAWC PWNe Observations: The Diffusion Constant is Not a Constant; Pulsars Remain the Likeliest Sources of the Anomalous Positron Fraction; Cosmic Rays are Trapped for Long Periods of Time in Pockets of Inefficient Diffusion Friday, 1 June 2018 18:30 (1 hour)

Recent TeV observations of nearby pulsars with the HAWC telescope have been interpreted as evidence that diffusion of high-energy electrons and positrons within pulsar wind nebulae is highly inefficient compared to the rest of the interstellar medium. If the diffusion coefficient welloutside the nebula is close to the value inferred for the region inside the nebula, high-energy electrons and positrons produced by the two observed pulsars could not contribute significantly to the local measured cosmic-ray flux. The HAWC collaboration thus concluded that, under the assumption of isotropic and homogeneous diffusion, the two pulsars are ruled out as sources of the anomalous high-energy positron flux. Here, we argue that since the diffusion coefficient is likely notspatially homogeneous, the assumption leading to such conclusion is flawed. We solve the diffusion equation with a radially dependent diffusion coefficient, and show that the pulsars observed byHAWCpro- duce potentially perfect matches to the observed high-energy positron fluxes. We also study the implications of inefficient diffusion within pulsar wind nebulae on Galactic scales, and showthat cosmic rays are likely to have very long residence times in regions of inefficient diffusion. We describe how this prediction can be tested with studies of the diffuse Galactic emission.

The Beam Dump eXperiment Wednesday, 30 May 2018 17:10 (20 minutes)

The Beam Dump eXperiment is an electron-beam thick-target experiment aimed to investigate the existence of Light Dark Matter particles in the MeV-GeV mass range. The experiment hasbeen conditionally approved and is expected to run in a dedicated underground facility located about 20 m downstream of the JLab-Hall A beam-dump. The detector consists of two main components: a CsI(Tl) electromagnetic calorimeter (ECal) and a veto system used to suppress the background. The expected signature of the DM interaction in the Ecal isa ∼ GeV electromagnetic shower paired with a null activity in the surrounding active veto counters. A complete small-scale prototype of the final detector has been constructed in order to validate the proposed technology anddemon- strate the capability to reject the cosmogenic background. Beam-related background was estimated by means of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. In order to benchmark our simulation tools with on site data, we recently measured, with JLab support, the muon background produced by the 10.6 GeV e-beam on the Hall-A dump at the location of the proposed BDX facility with present shielding configuration. A hodoscope made by a BDX ECal CsI(Tl) crystal sandwiched between aset of segmented plastic scintillators was used to measure the muon rate. This talk will present an overview of the BDX experiment with a particular focus on the results of the recent muon-flux measurements and the comparison with the corresponding simulations.

TMDs - Transverse Connections Between Nuclear and Particle Physics Friday, 1 June 2018 16:10 (30 minutes)

Uncertainties generated by our ignorance of hadronic structure hamper precision calculations for high-energy scattering processes. Transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) distributions give a quantitative representation of hadronic structure in a three-dimensional momentum space and encode all the possible spin and momentum correlations between a hadron and its constituents. Extractions of TMDs from hard scattering experiments rely both on the availability of multidimensional data sets and on the applicability of the TMD formalism. In this talk I will report about recent progress in the formalism that can have an impact on the phenomenology of TMD distributions. In particular, I will discuss which kinematic regions are most sensitive to the nonperturbative structure of the TMDs and which current and future experiments can provide data in these regions. I will also discuss how to access quark and gluon TMD distribution and fragmentation functions in specific scattering processes and, finally, investigate what is the expected impact ofTMDson very high energy scattering processes, such as W boson production at the Large Hadron Collider.

Unify the SU(3) Topological Diagram and Irreducible Representation Amplitudes for B Decays Friday, 1 June 2018 15:20 (20 minutes)

Flavor SU(3) analysis of B meson charmless hadronic two light pseudoscalar decays can be formu- lated in two different ways. One is to construct the SU(3) irreducible representation amplitude (IRA) according to effective Hamiltonian transformation properties, and the other is to drawthe topological diagrams (TDA). We first point out that previous analyses of TDA and IRA approaches do not match in several aspects, in particular a few SU(3) independent amplitudes have been overlooked in the TDA approach. This has caused confusions in the past and sometimes resulted in incorrect interpretation of data. We then demonstrate that only if these amplitudes are included, a consistent and unified picture can be obtained. With the new TDA amplitudes, all charmless hadronic decays of heavy meson must have nonzero direct CP symmetries as already predicted by the IRA approach. In addition to their notable impact on CP asymmetry, the new amplitudes are also important to extract new physics information.

I will present recent results and prospects for the SDSS/eBOSS survey (2014-2019), the last program completing the SDSS cosmological observations, which started some twenty years ago. The primary goal of those observations is to constrain dark energy through the measure of the distance- redshift relation with baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of matter. eBOSS willuse one million objects divided in four different tracers to expand the volume covered by SDSS/BOSS focusing on the redshift range [0.6,2.2]. The eBOSS data will also bring constraints on othercosmo- logical topics, as test of General Relativity on cosmological scales through redshift-space distortion measurements, or new constraints on the summed mass of all neutrino species.

Dark Decay of the Neutron Tuesday, 29 May 2018 14:40 (20 minutes)

New decay channels for the neutron into dark matter and other particles have been suggested for explaining a long-standing discrepancy between the neutron lifetime measured from trapped neutrons versus those decaying in flight. Many such scenarios are already ruled out by their effects on neutron stars, and the decays into dark matter plus photon or electron-positron pair have been experimentally excluded. In this talk, I will present a scenario in which the neutron decays into two invisible particles: a dark Dirac fermion and a dark photon. This setup can be consistent with all constraints if the fermion is a subdominant component of the dark matter. I will discuss the limits on the model’s parameter space that are derived from the existence of two solar mass neutron stars, direct and indirect dark matter detection, supernova observations, and cosmological considerations.

Accelerator and Reactor Complementarity in Coherent Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering Wednesday, 30 May 2018 15:20 (20 minutes)

Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus elastic scattering (CEνNS) experiments can be used to constrain new physics in the form of non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI). First, we consider the current data from the recent observation by the Coherent experiment within a Bayesian framework. Second, we demonstrate the complementarity of future reactor and accelerator experiments, by employing at least two distinct target materials at each source. This enables a degeneracy between up and down flavor-diagonal NSI terms to be broken. Considering four flavor-diagonal (ee/µµ) up- and down-type NSI parameters, we find that all terms can be measured with high local precision (to a width as small as ∼5% in Fermi units) by next-generation experiments.

Accessing the Generalized Parton Distributions in the Valence Region at Jefferson Laboratory Saturday, 2 June 2018 16:10 (30 minutes)

The generalized parton distributions (GPDs) describe the correlations between the transverse position and the longitudinal momentum of a parton inside the nucleon. They represent the next step toward a complete description of the nucleon in terms of quarks and gluons. They are accessible through deep exclusive processes among which we find the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) and the deep virtual meson production (DVMP). With its longitudinally polarized electron beam sent to fixed targets inside three experimental Halls, Jefferson Laboratory is a unique facility to probe the quarks and gluons in the valence region of the nucleon. The first experimental evidence of GPD sensitivity at Jefferson Laboratory was provided by measuring a non-zero beam spin asymmetry for photon electroproduction, arising from the interference between Bethe-Heitler and DVCS, in 1999 in the Hall B of Jefferson Laboratory. Then followed a complete experimental program dedicated to DVMP and DVCS in the different experimental Halls. In this talk, we are going to introduce the GPDs and the information they encode about the inner structure of the nucleon. Then we are going to give an overview of the main deep exclusive processes results collected at Jefferson Laboratory and the information they have provided about the GPDs. Finally we will discuss the answers we can expect from the ongoing/future experimental program with the recently upgraded experimental Halls and the 12 GeV electron beam.

Hadron Multiplicity and Fragmentation in SIDIS Thursday, 31 May 2018 15:20 (20 minutes)

COMPASS final results on multiplicities of charged hadrons and of identified pions andkaons produced in the deep inelastic muon scattering off an isoscalar target are presented and compared to HERMES results. Measurements are done in bins of x, y and z in a wide kinematic range. The hadron and pion data show a good agreement with (N)LO QCD expectations. The most interesting is the kaon multiplicity that allows to extract kaon fragmentation functions, a crucial ingredient in solving the strange quark polarisation puzzle. The COMPASS results are quite different from the expectations of the old NLO DSS fit and they cannot be described by LO QCD either. Inthis context the importance of K+/K− multiplicity ratio at high z is discussed.

Detecting CP Violation in the Presence of Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions Friday, 1 June 2018 17:00 (25 minutes)

New physics beyond the Standard Model could appear at long baseline oscillation experiments as non-standard interactions (NSI) between neutrinos and matter. If so, determination of the CP- violating phase δ13 is ambiguous due to interference with additional complex phases. I’ll present my work using both numerical solutions and a perturbative approach to study oscillation probabil- ities in the presence of NSI. I’ll show how the CP phase degeneracies are visualized on biprobability plots, and the extent to which the energy spectrum for a given baseline length can help resolve them.

Cosmology with a Helical Flavor Wednesday, 30 May 2018 14:40 (20 minutes)

Whether the parity of the Universe is broken on the large scale is an ongoing question. If this is the case, then one may trace the origin of parity violation back to the inflationary era. In this talk, I will review a few mechanisms that lead to the generation of helical fields, a source of breaking the parity on the large scale. The presence of helical U(1) fields in the early Universe canexplain the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. In fact, there is a connection between the baryon number and topology of the relic magnetic part of the U(1) field. Both the magnitude and sign of magnetic helicity can be detected in future diffuse gamma ray data. This will be a smoking gun foralink between inflation, parity violating fields, and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe.

Did LIGO Detect Dark Matter? Wednesday, 30 May 2018 17:50 (20 minutes)

I will discuss the possibility that the black-hole binary detected by LIGO may be a signature of primordial black hole dark matter. If two BHs in a galactic halo pass sufficiently close, they radiate enough energy in gravitational waves to become gravitationally bound. Curiously, the expected merger rate from these objects overlaps with that predicted by LIGO. Although a PBH dark matter fraction of unity is now ruled out, a smaller fraction is still plausible.

Nuclear Astrophysics Underground: Status & Future Wednesday, 30 May 2018 14:20 (20 minutes)

Even 60 years after the groundbreaking publication by Burbidge, Burbidge, Fowler, and Hoyle, Nu- clear Astrophysics is still a thriving research field at the interface of nuclear physics, astrophysics, and particle physics. An important topic is associated with the evolution of stars and its impact on the production of heavy elements. The study of the key reactions has been a major goal bythe community, in Europe, the US and also in China. However, the cosmic ray induced background has been prohibitive for advancing these measurements into the stellar energy range and reaction rates rely on theoretical extrapolations. Accelerator laboratories, located deep underground offer unique conditions for measuring these reactions at low energies as demonstrated by the success of the LUNA facility at Gran Sasso, Italy. Over the past years the CASPAR laboratory has been commissioned at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (Lead, South Dakota) to address the further need for such facilities. CASPAR operates a 1MV, fully refurbished Van de Graaff accelerator that can provide beam intensities of more than 100 micro-Ampere. Furthermore, the LUNA-MV facility as well as the JUNA project in China’s Jinping Underground Laboratory will be operational in the near future. Successful implementation of a science program at these facilities result in significant progress in the field. The current status of the underground accelerator facilities for Nuclear Astrophysics will be reviewed.

Searching for Dark Matter at the Cosmic Dawn Wednesday, 30 May 2018 16:10 (20 minutes)

The nature of the dark matter is still a mystery, although current and upcoming 21-cm measurements during the cosmic dawn can provide anew arena on the search for the cosmological dark matter. Thisera saw the formation of the first stars, which coupled the spin temperature ofhy- drogen to its kinetic temperature— producing 21-cm absorption in the CMB. The strength of this absorption acts as a thermostat, showing us if the baryons have been cooled down or heated up by different processes. In particular, during thecosmic dawn, the baryon-dark matter fluid isthe slowest it will ever be ,making it ideal to search for dark matter elastically scattering with baryons through massless mediators, such as the photon. Iwill describe how dark-matter particles with an electric “minicharge” can significantly alter the baryonic temperature, and thus explain the anomalous 21-cm depth observed by the EDGES collaboration.

Hadron in Jet Fragmentation Wednesday, 30 May 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

Collimated jets of hadrons and their substructure play a central role at present day and future collider experiments. In particular in the past years, it has been realized that the measurement of hadron distributions inside jets can provide valuable information about QCD. On the one hand, identified hadrons can be used to precisely map out the energy distribution inside jets bothinthe longitudinal and transverse direction. On the other hand, new insights into the QCD hadronization mechanism can be obtained. By first reconstructing jets in the final state, these new observables capture additional information about the final state event topology compared to traditional hadron spectra. In this talk, I review the significant progress that has been made recently both from the theoretical and the experimental side.

IceCube: Opening a New Window on the Universe from the South Pole Thursday, 31 May 2018 11:55 (35 minutes)

The IceCube project has transformed a cubic kilometer of natural Antarctic ice into aneutrino detector. The instrument detects more than 100,000 neutrinos per year in the GeV to PeVenergy range. Among those, we have isolated a flux of high-energy cosmic neutrinos. I will discuss the instrument, the analysis of the data, the significance of the discovery of cosmic neutrinos, andthe recent multimessenger observation of a flaring TeV blazar in coincidence with the IceCube neutrino alert IC170922. The large cosmic neutrino flux observed implies that the Universe’s energy density in high-energy neutrinos is the same as that in gamma rays, suggesting that the sources are connected and that a multitude of astronomical objects await discovery.

There is a long-standing discrepancy between the neutron lifetime measured in beam andbottle experiments. We propose to explain this anomaly by a dark decay channel for the neutron, involving one or more dark sector particles in the final state. If any of these particles are stable, they can be the dark matter. We construct representative particle physics models consistent withall experimental constraints.

Gravitational-Wave Transient Astronomy on the Rise Wednesday, 30 May 2018 17:30 (20 minutes)

The past three years have encompassed a meteoric rise of gravitational-wave astronomy withthe activation of the first advanced gravitational-wave interferometers and the subsequent direct detection of GW150914 — a gravitational-wave transient from a merging binary black hole. Since then, two observing runs, spanning about a year of total observation time, have been completed and recently included the kilometer-scale French-Italian Virgo instrument. The payoff, a monumental joint electromagnetic and gravitational-wave campaign surrounding GW170817, added a crucial and highly anticipated component to multi-messenger astronomy. Primary among a rich set of results, this watershed event provided an unequivocal and long-anticipated link between short gamma-ray bursts, kilonovae, and binary neutron star mergers. I will report the key results driving the birth and growth of gravitational-wave astronomy: stellar mass black hole binaries and their implications for compact binary astrophysics, tests of general relativity, and the foundation for future studies. I will also enumerate the timeline and ongoing studies of GW170817/GRB170817A. Finally, I will review the progression towards a truly worldwide network of second generation gravitational-wave interferometers.

Theia: A Multi-Purpose Water-Based Liquid Scintillator Detector Wednesday, 30 May 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

Recent developments in the field of liquid scintillator chemistry and fast-timing photosensors paved the way for a new generation of large-scale detectors capable of tackling a broad range of physics issues. Water-based Liquid Scintillator (WbLS) is a novel detection medium that combines the advantages of pure water, including low attenuation, accurate direction reconstruction, and low cost, and those of liquid scintillator, including high light yield and low-threshold detection. When coupled with high efficiency, fast-timing photosensors, such as Large Area Picosec- ond PhotoDetectors (LAPPDs), WbLS exhibits an immense potential for neutrino physics and BSM searches. Theia is a 50-kiloton multi-purpose neutrino detector that aims to jointly deploy these two technologies in order to fulfill its physics program objectives, including the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy and the CP violation phase in the leptonic sector, the detection of solar, reactor, and supernova neutrinos, and the search for neutrinoless double beta decay and proton decay. This presentation will describe the physics potential and the experimental setup of theTheiade- tector.

Probing the Strange Sea Quarks with Kaon SIDIS Saturday, 2 June 2018 17:40 (30 minutes)

It is well known that protons and neutrons are made from constituents, called quarks and gluons, which give substructure to these particles. The goal of this project is to make measurements of the spatial distributions and the momenta of the quarks that provide a three-dimensional map of quarks in the nuclear medium. This knowledge provides the basis of our understanding of nuclear matter in terms of the dynamics of their internal constituents. This abstract focusesonthe study of the contribution of the sea quarks and in particular of the strange sea to the proton spin structure. This study is feasible with semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering of electrons offproton and deuteron targets in Hall B at Jefferson Lab. To achieve the desired precision, a Ring Imagine CHerenkov (RICH) detector was built so pion, kaon and proton identification is well performed in the momentum range of 3 to 8 GeV/c. The experimental method and projected precision ofthe measurements of the parton distributions using Kaon SIDIS will be discussed and the status of the recently built Hybrid RICH detector will be presented.

Studying the Electroweak Sector with the ATLAS Detector Tuesday, 29 May 2018 14:00 (30 minutes)

The large integrated luminosities that are available at the LHC, allow to test the gauge structureof the electroweak sector of the Standard Model to highest precision. In this talk, we review the latest results of the ATLAS collaboration involving di-boson and multiboson final states, the electroweak production of vector bosons as well as their constraints of effective field theory operators.

Another approach to test the consistency of the electroweak sector is via precision measurements. ATLAS has published a first high precision measurement of the W boson mass, a first measurement of the tau-polarization in Z events as well as a three dimensional cross-section measurement of the Drell-Yan process. The latter allows for the extraction of the forward-backward asymmetry that can be interpreted as a measurement of the weak mixing angle. These results will be presented and discussed.

Overview of Recent Results from the ATLAS Experiment Thursday, 31 May 2018 16:10 (30 minutes)

The heavy-ion program in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC originated as an extensive program to probe and characterize the hot, dense matter created in relativistic lead-lead collisions. In recent years, the program has also broadened to a detailed study of collective behaviour in smaller systems. In particular, the techniques used to study larger systems are also applied to proton-proton and proton-lead collisions over a wide range of particle multiplicities, to try and understand the early-time dynamics which lead to similar flow-like features in all of the systems. Another recent development is a program studying ultra-peripheral collisions, which provide gamma-gamma and photonuclear processes over a wide range of CM energy, to probe the nuclear wavefunction. This talk presents the most recent results from the ATLAS experiment based on Run 1 and Run 2 data, including measurements of collectivity over a wide range of collision systems, potential nPDF modifications – using electroweak bosons, inclusive jets, and quarkonia – and photonuclear dijet production.

Searching for Hadronic CP Violation in Deformed Nuclei with Polar Molecules Saturday, 2 June 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

The fact that the universe is made entirely out of matter, and contains no free anti-matter, has no physical explanation. While we cannot currently say what process created the matter in the universe, we know that it must violate a number of fundamental symmetries, including those that forbid the existence of certain electromagnetic moments of fundamental particles. We can search for signatures of these electromagnetic moments via precision measurements in polar molecules, whose extremely large internal electromagnetic fields can significantly amplify these moments. These effects would arise from physics beyond the Standard Model, which enables tabletop searches for new, symmetry-violating particles and forces. With modern, quantum science techniques to control polar molecules, these searches can currently reach into the TeV scale, and offer a route to the PeV scale through advanced cooling and trapping techniques. I will discuss a new experiment being developed at Caltech to use polyatomic molecules bearing heavy, deformed nuclei to search for hadronic CP violation via nuclear magnetic quadrupole moments, which are sensitive to a wide variety of CP-violating sources beyond the Standard Model.

ABRACADABRA: A New Approach to the Search for Axion Dark Matter Tuesday, 29 May 2018 17:30 (20 minutes)

The evidence for the existence of dark matter is well supported by many cosmological observations. Separately, long standing problems within the Standard Model point to new weakly interacting particles to help explain away unnatural fine-tunings. The axion was originally proposed to explain the strong CP problem, but was subsequently shown to be a strong candidate for explaining the Dark Matter abundance of the Universe. ABRACADABRA is a proposed experiment to search for ultralight axion Dark Matter, with a focus on the mass range −14 −6 10 < ma < 10 eV. We search for these axions and other axion-like particles (ALPs) through a modification to Maxwell’s equations, which cause strong magnetic fields to source weak oscillating electrical currents parallel to the field. In this talk, I will describe the working principle behind the ABRACADABRA experiment as well as the prototype that we are running at MIT called ABRACADABRA-10 cm.

Search for Dark Matter Decay of the Free Neutron from the UCNA Experiment: n → χ + e+e− Tuesday, 29 May 2018 14:20 (20 minutes)

The neutron lifetime is currently measured by two different types of experiments: “beam”and “bottle”. These two measurement techniques havea 4σ discrepancy in measured lifetime. It has been proposed recently that a previously unobserved neutron decay branch to a dark matter particle (χ) could account for the discrepancy in the neutron lifetime observed in experiments that use two different measurement techniques. One of the possible final states discussed includes asingle χ along with an e+e− pair. We use data from the UCNA (Ultracold Neutron Asymmetry) experiment to set limits on this decay channel. Coincident electron-like events are detected with ≈ 4π acceptance using a pair of detectors that observe a volume of stored Ultracold Neutrons (UCNs).

The summed kinetic energy (Ee+e− ) from such events is used to set limits, as a function of the χ mass, on the branching fraction for this decay channel. For χ masses consistent with resolving the neutron lifetime discrepancy, we exclude this as the dominant dark matter decay channel at ≈ 5σ + − level for 100 keV < Ee+e− < 644 keV. If the χ + e e final state is not the only one, we set limits −4 on its branching fraction of < 10 for the above Ee+e− range at > 90% confidence level.

Overview of Longitudinal Spin Physics Results from RHIC Thursday, 31 May 2018 14:30 (30 minutes)

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collier (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory has been in operation since 2001 and delivered the world’s highest energy polarized proton-proton collisions with the center of mass energy up to 510 GeV. This has provided a unique opportunity to study the polarized quark and gluon spin structures inside the proton and novel QCD dynamics in longitudinally and transversely polarized proton-proton collisions at high energy. In this talk, I will highlight the latest longitudinal spin physics results from the PHENIX and STAR experiments at RHIC, including studies of the gluon and flavor identified quark polarizations inside the proton, followed by abrief discussion of the future prospects of spin physics opportunity at RHIC.

Searches for Hidden Sectors with BABAR Wednesday, 30 May 2018 16:30 (20 minutes)

Many models of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) predict new, hidden-sector particles with masses below the electroweak scale. These models are motivated by solutions to the dark matter problem, the hierarchy problem, neutrino masses, and other physics that is not accounted for in the SM. Low-energy electron-positron colliders such as BABAR are ideally suited to discover these hidden-sector particles. We present several BABAR searches for low-mass hidden-sector particles, including visibly and invisibly decaying dark photons, and a dark muonic force. These examples show the importance of B-factories in discovering and constraining new hidden-sector physics beyond the SM.

Baryogenesis via Particle–Antiparticle Oscillations Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:30 (20 minutes)

Our Universe has more matter than antimatter and we cannot explain this asymmetry within the Standard Model. CP violation is crucial to explain the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We observe CP violation in the SM in neutral meson oscillations. Can similar (but beyond the SM) particle–antiparticle oscillations in the early Universe generate the baryon asymmetry? I will show “Yes, they can!” and give a specific new physics model as an example.

Status and Initial Results of the Majorana Demonstrator Tuesday, 29 May 2018 16:40 (30 minutes)

Located at the 4850’ level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), the Majorana Demonstrator (MJD) experiment is searching for neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay in 76Ge with high-purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors. The initial goals of the Demonstrator are to establish the required background and scalability of a ton-scale Ge-based experiment.

The construction and commissioning of the Demonstrator has been completed and the multiple- year data-taking has started. Initial results from the first physics run has demonstrated an unprecedented energy resolution of 2.5 keV FWHM at Qββ and an ultra-low background that is consistent with the background goals. The initial 10 kg·yr of enriched Ge exposure resulted in a lower limit on the 0νββ decay half-life of 1.9 × 1025 yr (90% CL). In this talk, we will discuss the status of the Majorana Demonstrator, the recent physics results, and the implications and status of the LEGEND ton-scale Ge-based neutrinoless double-beta decay program.

Multi-Wire 3D Gas Tracker for Searching New Physics in Nuclear Beta Decay Thursday, 31 May 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

Searches of new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) performed at low energy frontiers are complementary to experiments carried out at high energy colliders. Often used methods for testing the SM and beyond at low energies are precision spectrum shape and correlation coefficient measurements in nuclear and neutron beta decay. In order to study tiny effects in beta spectrum shape, a special spectrometer was built. It consists of a 3D low pressure gas tracker (drift chamber with hexagonal cells, signal readout at bothwire ends) and plastic scintillators for triggering a data acquisition and registration of the beta particle energy [1]. The results of the characterization process indicate the possibility of using suchagas tracker in a range of experiments with low energy electrons where beta particle tracking with minimal kinematics deterioration is beneficial. Application of this technique is also planned fora neutron decay correlation experiment [2]. In the presentation, the first application of this tracker in a high-precision beta spectrum shape study will be discussed. It is devoted to the determination of the weak magnetism term in nuclear beta decay [3,4]. [1] K. Lojek, D.Rozpedzik, K. Bodek, M. Perkowski, N. Severijns, NIM A 802 (2015) 38 [2] K.

There is compelling evidence that about one-quarter of the energy density of the Universe ismade up of Dark Matter, the identification and study of which are among the most important goalsin basic research. The China Dark Matter Experiment (CDEX) pursues direct searches of light Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL), which is the deepest operating laboratory for astroparticle research in the world. Recent results from a prototype CDEX-1 pPCGe (p-type Point Contact Germanium) detector and CDEX-10 array detector system are reported. The CDEX-10 experiment with a PCGe array of 10 kg target massrange is still taking data. The CDEX program evolves into the targets of “CDEX-1T Experiment” with ton-scale germanium detector arrays, which will be composed of thousands of kg-mass prototype germanium detectors and further contribute to the studies of Dark Matter search and Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay. The key technologies including HPGe detector fabrication, crystal growth and so on has been pursued. A new large space in CJPL-II will be ready by the end of 2018 for CDEX experiment.

Nuclear Beta Decays and CKM Unitarity Wednesday, 30 May 2018 17:30 (20 minutes)

+ Results from superallowed β decays between 0 , T = 1 analog states yield the best value for Vud, with a precision of ±0.02%. World data now comprise 14 separate superallowed transitions having Ft values known to 0.1% precision or better. These results, which cover a wide range of parent nuclei from 10C to 74Rb, constitute a very robust data set. Each transition’s Ft value depends on its half-life, Q-value and branching ratio. It also depends on small (∼1%) transition-dependent theoretical corrections, of which the most sensitive accounts for isospin symmetry breaking. The validity of these corrections is confirmed by the excellent consistency among the14 Ft-values, an expected consequence of CVC. Recent measurements, which compare pairs of mirror superallowed transitions, further support that validity. With CVC consistency established, the result now yields Vud = 0.97420(21), which makes this by far the most precisely known element of the CKM matrix. Together with Vus and Vub, it leads to the most demanding test available of the unitarity of that matrix, with the sum of squares equaling 0.99962(49). Three other types of beta decay can be used 1 to extract Vud: the superallowed beta decay between T = 2 mirror nuclei; and the beta decays of the neutron and pion. All three are hampered by experimental challenges that have limited their + + Vud precision well short of that achieved with the superallowed 0 → 0 transitions. They are, however, statistically consistent with it.

Neutrinos from Beta Processes in Presupernovae Tuesday, 29 May 2018 15:00 (20 minutes)

We present calculations of the neutrino emissivities and energy spectra from massive stars in the lead up to their explosion as supernovae (presupernovae). Results from the stellar evolution code MESA are used to calculate the neutrino emissivity due to thermal and beta processes. In particular, the beta processes are modeled in detail using a network of 204 isotopes. We show that the contribution of beta processes is substantial, especially in the high energy tail of the spectrum, at E > 3-4 MeV. For a star at D = 1 kpc, we find that a 17 ton liquid scintillator detector would observe several tens of events from a presupernova.

Lattice QCD has matured to a degree where it is now possible to study excited hadrons asthey truly appear in nature, as short-lived resonant enhancements decaying into multiple possible final states. Through variational analysis of matrices of correlation functions computed with large basesof interpolating fields it has proven possible to extract many excited state energy levels, andthese can be used to constrain the hadron-hadron scattering amplitudes in which hadron resonances can be observed.

I will illustrate recent progress with several examples including coupled-channel scattering in the πη/KK¯ and ππ, KK,¯ ηη systems in which the a0, f0 mesons appear.

Beta Decay Asymmetry Measurements with Trapped Atoms Wednesday, 30 May 2018 17:10 (20 minutes)

Nuclear β decay’s long history of shaping and testing the Standard Model of particle physics continues to this day with elegant, ultra-precise low-energy nuclear measurements. Experiments observing the angular correlations between the electron, neutrino and recoil momenta following beta decay can be used to search for exotic currents contributing to the dominant (V-A) structure of the weak interaction. Precision measurements of the correlation parameters to <0.1% would be sensitive to (or meaningfully constrain) new physics, complementing other searches at large-scale facilities like the LHC. Atom traps provide an ideal source of very cold, short-lived isotopes in an extremely clean and open environment. As such, they are invaluable tools for precision measurements of beta-decay parameters. The TRIUMF Neutral Atom Trap (TRINAT) collaboration utilizes neutral atom-trapping techniques with optical pumping methods to highly polarize (>99%) 37K atoms. Recently, we determined the beta asymmetry parameter to 0.3%, which is comparable to or better than any other nuclear measurement, including the neutron. In terms of minimal left-right symmetric models, this implies a limit of >351 GeV for the mass of a possible right-handed W . Alternatively, one may 37 interpret the result as a 4.4× better measurement of Vud from K.

This talk will discuss using atom traps as a test of the electroweak interaction with particular emphasis on TRINAT’s 37K program.

Overview of Experimental Data on the Neutron-Matter Equation of State and the Neutron Skins of 48Ca and 208Pb Tuesday, 29 May 2018 14:20 (20 minutes)

The equation of state for asymmetric nuclear systems is a critical input for modeling a broadrange of systems spanning from asymmetric nuclei to extremes such as neutron stars. Now, with the ad- vent of gravitational wave astronomy there are new and exciting opportunities to test how these nuclei, measured on earth, connect to their astrophysical counterparts. Within nuclei, several observables are available that are sensitive to this information including the size of the neutron skins, the isovector electric dipole polarizabilities, and heavy ion isospin transport. Neutron skins in particular are notoriously difficult to observe with high precision: the standard tool of electromagnetic interactions that has been used to map out the nuclear charge distributions is simply insensitive to neutrons. Fortunately, nature provides a novel way to image this side of the nucleus: through fundamental weak force interactions, which interact primarily to neutrons rather than protons. In this talk I will review the status of the data that constrains the neutron matter equation of state and in particular discuss neutron densities, how one measures them with electron beams, and the recent and upcoming experimental efforts for such measurements.

Modern neutron sources provide extraordinary opportunities to study a wide variety of physics topics. Among them is a detailed study of the weak interaction. These measurements, done in few-nucleon systems, are finally letting us gain knowledge of the hadronic weak interaction without the contributions from nuclear effects. The NPDGamma experiment aims to isolate the long-range component of the hadronic weak interaction by measuring the directional parity-violating asymmetry in polarized cold neutron capture on protons. The experiment and analysis will be described and final results will be presented.

Status of Searches for Chiral Magnetic Effects in Nuclear Collisions Thursday, 31 May 2018 08:35 (35 minutes)

The Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) is the phenomenon of electric charge separation along theex- ternal magnetic field that is induced by the chirality imbalance. In relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, local chirality imbalance of left- and right-handed quarks may be generated, which is related to the topology of gluon gauge fields. With the presence of an extremely strong magnetic field, the CME has been predicted to occur, leading to final-state electric charge separations along the poles of the lenticular-shaped medium created. In this talk, I will review the latest status of experimental searches for the chiral magnetic effects in nuclear collisions at RHIC and the LHC, and discuss exciting opportunities with programs planned in the near future.

Short-Range Correlations in Nuclei Saturday, 2 June 2018 10:45 (35 minutes)

The nuclear shell model pictures deeply bound nucleons as being in fully occupied states.At and above the Fermi surface, configuration mixing then leads to occupancies that gradually de- crease to zero. This picture is modified in an important way by several correlation effectsthat are absent from, or are described only approximately by, effective-interaction theories, such as the shell model. These correlations arise from short-range, soft-core, and tensor nucleon-nucleon interactions and from longer-range couplings involving low-lying and giant resonance collective excitations. Over the years, a variety of experimental studies using different probes, including a set of complementary nuclear reactions, have been interpreted to reveal signatures of such correlation effects, including short-range correlations. The availability of rare-isotope beams hasallowed expanding such explorations towards the extremes of isospin. This presentation will summarize the present status, challenges, and open questions.

The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory has been surveying the TeV sky forover 3 years. HAWC surveys 2/3rd of the sky each day with a wide field-of-view, high duty-cycle, and wide energy range. HAWC is a powerful instrument to study key aspects of particle astrophysics, including the production, propagation, and interaction of cosmic rays, searches for dark matter, and locating the highest energy (>100 TeV) gamma-ray sources. It can also monitor for variable sources and transients. We will discuss the discovery of TeV halos around middle-aged nearby pulsars that shed new light on the positron excess puzzle. We will also discuss new TeV sources that have been discovered, including possible PeV cosmic ray sources (PeVatrons). Additionally, we will discuss searches for GRBs, gravitational wave events, and dark matter.

Probing Explosive Nucleosynthesis with TwinSol Measurements Wednesday, 30 May 2018 15:00 (20 minutes)

The nucleosynthesis occurring in astrophysical explosions can be very different than that which occurs in main sequence stars such as our sun. In fact, many of the properties of explosive astrophysical events are determined by the nuclear physics of the radioactive nuclei that power the explosion. At the University of Notre Dame TwinSol radioactive beam separator, exotic nuclei of astrophysical interest are being produced and studied in order to further our understanding of astrophysical explosions. In fact, TwinSol was one of the first such devices in the United States dedicated to radioactive beam production. Recent studies include the first neutron angular distribution measurement from a (d,n) reaction on an exotic beam and some of the most precise half-life measurements to constrain elements in the CKM matrix. These studies along with future plans and upgrades will be presented.

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole can measure atmospheric neutrinos aten- ergies up to the TeV scale. DeepCore is the low-energy subarray that provides sensitivity in the neutrino energy range from roughly 10 GeV to 100 GeV, where Earth-crossing neutrinos are subject to flavor-oscillation phenomena. These neutrinos are muon and electron neutrinos produced in Earth’s atmosphere via decays of particles from interactions between cosmic rays and the atmosphere. The primary oscillations detected are from muon neutrinos to tau neutrinos. Wepresent the measurement of muon neutrino disappearance and tau neutrino appearance using three years of IceCube-DeepCore data.

Electromagnetic Properties of Antihydrogen and the Antiproton: Recent Results from ALPHA and BASE Wednesday, 30 May 2018 10:10 (35 minutes)

The apparent dominance of matter over antimatter in the universe remains one ofthegreatest puzzles in science. The antiproton decelerator facility at CERN is home to several experiments dedicated to performing precise measurements of the properties of antimatter and hoping to provide insight into the matter-antimatter asymmetry problem. Recently the ALPHA and BASE experiments have reported measurements of the electromagnetic properties of the antihydrogen atom, and antiproton respectively, at unprecedented levels of precision. Following the observation of the first optical transition in antihydrogen atoms in 2016, ALPHA recently characterised one of the hyperfine components of the 1S-2S transition in antihydrogen. It was determined that the resonance frequency of this transition in antihydrogen matches that of hydrogen, and is therefore consistent with CPT invariance, at a relative precision of 2 × 10−12. In 2017 the BASE collaboration reported a measurement of the magnetic moment of the antiproton to a relative precision of 1.5 × 10−9, an improvement on the precision of their previous measurement by a factor of 350. The result rivals the precision of the proton magnetic moment measurement and provides a stringent test of CPT invariance.

In this talk I will review the recent measurement of the antiproton magnetic moment by the BASE collaboration, and spectroscopic measurements of the antihydrogen atom by the ALPHA collaboration.

A New Symmetry of Electroweak Lagrangian Friday, 1 June 2018 18:30 (1 hour)

Problems of the Standard Model, associated with the introduction of non-gauge interactions and with the introduction of an electromagnetic field as a linear combination of fields on which various gauge groups are implemented, are analyzed. It is noticed that the existing model contains U(1) – phase uncertainty of the matrix elements of the raising and lowering generators of the SU(2) group. This uncertainty creates the condition for the additional local U(1) – symmetry of theStandard Model Lagrangian with respect to the choice of various equivalent generator representations of the SU(2) group. Such symmetry is provided by a gauge electromagnetic field introduction. In this case, due to the different action of the raising and lowering generators on the fields ofeach generation of leptons and quarks, these fields interact with the electromagnetic field in different ways.

Sensitivity Study for the 12C(α, γ)16O Astrophysical Reaction Rate Wednesday, 30 May 2018 15:20 (20 minutes)

The 12C(α, γ)16O reaction has a key role in nuclear astrophysics. A multilevel R-matrix analysis was used to make extrapolations of the astrophysical S factor for this reaction to the stellar energy of 300 keV. The statistical precision of the S-factor extrapolation was determined by performing multiple fits to randomized (according to the experimental errors) existing E1 and E2 groundstate data. The impact of a future proposed experiment at Jefferson Laboratory (JLab) was assessed within this framework. The proposed JLab experiment will make use of a high-intensity low- energy bremsstrahlung beam that impinges on an oxygen-rich single-fluid bubble chamber in order to measure the total cross section for the 16O(γ, α)12C reaction. The importance of low energy data as well as high precision data was investigated. The results of this study will be presented.

Symmetries and Interactions from Lattice QCD Wednesday, 30 May 2018 10:45 (35 minutes)

QCD has been long accepted as the underlying theory behind nuclear forces. However, calculations of nuclear properties directly from QCD have only very recently become mature. The theory’s non-perturbative nature at low energies requires the use of lattice regularization (lattice QCD) combined with numerical methods for its solution. With these tools in hand, we are now starting to be able to predict properties of nucleons and their interactions with fully controlled and quantifiable systematics. In addition to giving us unique theoretical insight into the structure of nuclei, these techniques will allow us, for example, to inform the design and construction of experiments which utilize specific nuclei for their symmetry properties, as well as pin down potential signs of new physics from experimental signals. In this talk I will present recent results from the CalLat collaboration relevant for nuclear physics, including a calculation of the nucleon axial charge to 1% precision, as well as quantities relevant for neutrinoless double beta decay searches.

NA62 took data in 2016, 2017 andanother year run is scheduled in 2018. Statistics collected in 2016 allows NA62 to reach the Standard Model sensitivity for K+ → π+νν, entering the domain of 10−10 single event sensitivity and showing the proof of principle of the experiment. The analysis data is reviewed and the preliminary result from the 2016 data set presented.

Models of composite dark matter, originating from a new strongly coupled dark sector, havea very interesting phenomenology for particles with mass around the hundreds of GeVs. To make robust predictions in these models one often needs to investigate non-perturbative effects dueto the strong self interactions. Lattice field theory methods and numerical simulations are well suited for this task and contribute to a solid uncertainty quantification. I will review the advances of lattice field theory techniques relevant for searches of dark matter particles.

Short-Range Correlations Thursday, 31 May 2018 14:50 (25 minutes)

Due to the highly localized feature of the short-range correlations (SRCs), the high momentum tails from light to heavy nuclei reveals very similar distributions when their momenta are above the Fermi momentum. The exclusive measurements of proton and electron scattering off theNN pairs in 2N-SRC showed the dominance of np pairs. It indicates the isospin nature of the NN interaction at short distance. With the measurements of inclusive electron scattering on different nuclei in the quasi-elastic region, we are able to study the two- and three- nucleon correlations (2N-SRC and 3N-SRC), by taking the cross-section ratios of heavy nuclei to light nuclei, such as Deuteron or He3. While the 2N-SRC has been observed with good agreement at SLAC in 1980s, and recently in Hall-B and Hall-C at Jefferson Lab, however, there is still no clear evidence ofthe 3N-SRC because both results show no agreement. The most recent experiment in Hall-A, E08014, performed a more precious measurement on the 3N-SRC as well as the isospin dependence of SRCs. The new results revealed no clear signal of 3N-SRC plateau atthe x > 2 region. The next generation experiments using H3/He3 targets, which have been taking data in 2018, will further investigate the SRC effects both in exclusive and inclusive scattering. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the SRCs, results from previous measurements and most recent experiments, and introduce the ongoing experiments, followed by some discussions.

More recent results will be shared from the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) detector, which was a 100-kg-scale, 2-phase xenon direct dark matter search experiment, operated between 2013–16 at SURF. Dark matter, the missing 25% of the mass-energy content of the universe, is sought inmore ways, using effective field theory operators to extend the search to higher-mass Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), and electron instead of nuclear recoil, to seek axions and mirror dark matter. In addition, annual and diurnal modulation analyses of the 427 live-days of exposurewill be explored. Lastly, old and new calibrations (including 14C β, 127Xe, 83mKr, and D-D neutron) and position, energy, field, and pulse-shape reconstruction techniques plus trigger efficiency will be reviewed, in the context of new background and signal models being developed by LUX which will extend to higher energies than ever before.

Data Analysis and Preliminary Results of the Proton Charge Radius Experiment (PRad) at JLab Saturday, 2 June 2018 17:10 (20 minutes)

In order to investigate the proton radius puzzle, the PRad experiment (E12-11-106) [1] was performed in 2016 in Hall B at Jefferson Lab, with both 1.1 and 2.2 GeV unpolarized electron beams. The experiment aims to measure the e-p elastic scattering cross section at unprecedented low values of the momentum transfer squared region (Q2 = 2×10−4 −0.06 (GeV/c)2), with a sub-percent precision. The PRad experiment utilizes a non-magnetic calorimetric method with a large acceptance and high resolution calorimeter (HyCal), and two large area, high spatial resolution Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors. To have a better control over the systematic uncertainties, the absolute e-p elastic scattering cross section is normalized to that of the well-known Moller scattering process, which is measured simultaneously within similar kinematics and geometrical acceptances. The windowless H2-gas-flow target utilized in the experiment largely removes atyp- ical background source, the target cell windows. In this talk, we will discuss details of the data analysis and present preliminary results from both beam energy settings.

Fingerprints of the First Stars in the Sky-Averaged Radio Spectrum Saturday, 2 June 2018 09:10 (35 minutes)

The period of the Universe known as Cosmic Dawn is marked by the formation of the firststars, before 100 million years after the Big Bang. These stars formed due to the gravitational collapse of primordial neutral hydrogen gas left over after the release of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The ultraviolet radiation that these stars emitted penetrated the atoms of the surrounding neutral hydrogen gas, which caused the gas to absorb photons from the CMB. This alteration of the hydrogen gas should be observable today as an absorption feature in the radio spectrum at frequencies below 200 MHz. In this talk I will describe the detection by the EDGES experiment of an absorption feature in the sky-averaged spectrum centered at 78 MHz. This feature implies absorption of the microwave background by the hydrogen gas approximately 180 million years after the Big Bang, which is broadly consistent with predictions. However, the amplitude ofthe observed signal is ∼0.5 K, twice as large as expected. New theories have already been proposed that try to explain this deeper absorption. Two leading options correspond to a higher radiation background than previously thought during Cosmic Dawn, and a new form of interaction between the hydrogen gas with the colder dark matter. I will review the theory of this cosmological radio measurement and describe the EDGES experiment, including the instruments used for the detection and the data analysis.

Experimental Tests of Ab Initio Calculations of Nuclear Structure Friday, 1 June 2018 17:10 (20 minutes)

Ab Initio or first-principle methods have been very successful in calculating many properties of light nuclei. These methods use the most modern formulations of two- and three-nucleon interactions and have provided very accurate reproductions of the binding energies and level spectra for light nuclei over the past several years. These approaches have also been used to predict other properties, such as spectroscopic overlaps, nucleon densities and correlations, and electromagnetic transition rates. In some cases, the agreement between theory and experiment has been less good, with notable discrepancies between data and predictions. I will describe two very different experiments that provide varied data that may be compared to predictions from Quantum Monte Carlo calculations. The first involves the Z dependence of E2 electro-magnetic transition rates in the T=1 (10C,10B,10Be) triplet. The second example concerns spectroscopic overlaps and two-neutron densities in the so-called “super-heavy” isotope of hydrogen 5H, studied by proton removal with the 6He(d,3He)5H reaction at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University.

Progress on the Nucleon EDM in Lattice QCD Tuesday, 29 May 2018 17:50 (20 minutes)

EDM of the nucleon, whether observed or further constrained, can be traced back to various CP-violating quark and gluon effective interactions. In order to constrain these effective interactions and, subsequently, the extensions of the Standard Model, nonperturbative calculations of nucleon structure are necessary. Low-energy theories and nucleon models provide ballpark estimates for the nEDM sensitivity to CP violation at the quark/gluon level, while precise and model- independent relations between nEDM and various sources of CP violation are expected from QCD calculations on a lattice. Lattice QCD has reached a respectable level of statistical and systematic precision for hadron spectrum and simple nucleon structure observables with physical quark masses, and on the verge of producing reliable results for nucleon EDM induced by lowest-order quark-gluon operators. In this talk, I will briefly overview the current status of these calculations as well as show some recent preliminary results.

It provides unique opportunities to study the spin structure in hadronic systems and opens new kinematic regions compared to deep inelastic scattering experiments. Transverse spin effects have been among the most surprising discoveries in nuclear physics and they are an essential tool in order to separate the intrinsic properties of hadrons from interaction dependent dynamics in the framework of QCD factorization. This talk will discuss the latest achievements from the RHIC experiments related to nuclear spin orbit correlations and spin dependent fragmentation functions, universality of transverse momentum dependent distribution functions, and results from proton-nucleon collisions.

Review of the First W Boson Mass Measurement with the ATLAS Detector Friday, 1 June 2018 14:00 (20 minutes)

A precise measurement of the W boson mass represents an important milestone to test the overall consistency of the Standard Model. Since the discovery of a Higgs Boson, the W boson mass is predicted to 7 MeV precision, while the world average of all measurements is 15 MeV, making the improved measurement an important goal. Large samples of leptonic decays of W and Z bosons were collected by the ATLAS detector with efficient single lepton triggers in the 7TeV data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb−1. With these samples the detector and physics modelling has been studied in great detail and enabled a W boson mass measurement with a precision of 19 MeV, which will be presented in this talk. Special focus will be drawn on the modeling of the production processes of W bosons in proton-proton collisions, that are crucial for this measurement.

Electroweak, Jet and Heavy Flavor Probes in Proton-Lead Collisions at the LHC Friday, 1 June 2018 15:10 (30 minutes)

Measurements of isolated prompt photon, massive electroweak boson, and jet production in small collision systems are of great interest to understanding the partonic structure of heavy nuclei, and serve as a constraint on the initial state in larger collision systems. These channels are sensitive to a variety of effects such as the modification of the parton densities in nuclei, including thepossi- ble onset of non-linear QCD effects in certain kinematic regions, and the energy loss of partonsas they undergo multiple interactions in the nucleus before the hard parton-parton scattering. High- √ statistics samples of proton–lead collision data at sNN = 5.02 TeV and 8.16 TeV taken in 2016, as well as proton–proton comparison data at analogous collision energies, allow for a detailed study of these phenomena in data and comprehensive comparisons to the predictions of a variety of theoretical approaches. This talk presents the latest ATLAS and CMS results in these and other topics, including new results from Run 2 proton–lead collisions on inclusive prompt photon production over a broad kinematic range, and angular correlations of forward dijets intended to probe the small-x region. Results will also be shown on yields and two-particle correlations involving open and closed heavy flavor mesons, both measured directly and through their semileptonic decays, to study energy loss and transport properties of heavy quarks in the QGP.

Nuclear PDF, Small x Physics Results at RHIC Wednesday, 30 May 2018 16:40 (30 minutes)

The proton gluon distribution function increases rapidly with decreasing momentum fraction x at fixed Q2, but cannot increase indefinitely as x decreases. Gluon saturation is expected at a low x value when gluon recombination balances gluon splitting. The nuclear (with atomic mass number A) gluon distribution is approximately A1/3 larger than the nucleon gluon distribution function at the same x. Understanding the kinematics of gluons in the low x region will provide insights into the nuclear matter origin and improves the knowledge of Quantum Chromodyanmics (QCD)in the non-perturbative region. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) can probe gluons with x between 0.001 and 0.02 inside the gold nuclei via forward di-jet or di-hadron measurements. Both STAR and PHENIX experiments have carried out a series of measurements to study the nuclear gluon distribution functions (nPDFs) and observed clear nuclear modification of the gluon PDF in the low x region. Recent studies of forward inclusive hadron, di-hadron, di-jet and heavy flavor measurements in 200 GeV d+Au, p+Au, p+Al and 3He+Au collisions and 500/510 GeV p+p collisions have extended the kinematic region of the probed proton/nuclear gluon distribution function. We will present selected results from RHIC in this talk. Prospects of future measurements from detector upgrades at PHENIX, sPHENIX and Electron Ion Collider (EIC) will be presented as well.

Energy and System Dependent Heavy Flavor Measurements at PHENIX at RHIC Friday, 1 June 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

Heavy flavor and quarkonium production are important hard probes to test Quantum Chromo- dynamics (QCD) and measure the properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in high energy heavy ion collisions. Unlike LHC experiments, heavy flavor production at RHIC has its unique kinematic region and different production mechanisms. The PHENIX experiment has collected large data sets of 200/510 GeV p+p; 200 GeV p+Al, p+Au, Cu+Au and Au+Au collisions, which allow us to study the energy dependence of the heavy flavor production, the heavy quark energy loss in cold nuclear medium and hot QGP. In this talk, we will present latest PHENIX hidden and open heavy flavor results in different collision systems including the J/ψ cross section 3 and nuclear modification factor (RAA) in 200 GeV p+Al, p+Au and He+Au data to study the cold nuclear medium effects on the charm quark production; the energy dependent production of forward J/ψ from B meson decay and bottom cross section measured in p+p collisions which J/ψ improves the understanding of the heavy flavor production√ mechanism; the non-prompt nuclear modification factor measurement in Cu+Au collisions at sNN = 200 GeV and the charm and bottom decayed single electron nuclear modification factor measurements in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions. We will also show the prospects for ongoing PHENIX central and forward rapidity open heavy flavor measurements in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions.

The Search for the Onset of Color Transparency Wednesday, 30 May 2018 17:35 (25 minutes)

We will give an overview of a unique prediction of Quantum Chromodynamics, called color transparency (CT), where the final (and/or initial) state interactions of hadrons with the nuclear medium must vanish for exclusive processes at high momentum transfers. We will trace the progress of our understanding of this phenomenon, beginning with its confirmation in high energy phenomena, followed by investigations of the onset of CT at intermediate energies. We will present updates from a recent CT search experiment that was completed as one of the commissioning experiments of the newly upgraded experimental Hall C at the Jefferson Lab. We will also make connections between the CT experiment and the other commissioning experiments, which include experiments measuring the F2 structure function and the EMC effect. Finally, we will also discuss some new proposals that will extended the search to new unexplored phase space.

Current Status of Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay Matrix Elements Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:30 (20 minutes)

Observing neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay is the most promising way to detect lepton number violation in the laboratory, and it would imply that neutrinos are their own antiparticles. The decay half-life naturally depends on a nuclear matrix element that needs to be calculated theoretically. A good knowledge of this matrix element is key for the planning of 0νββ decay experiments, and also to extract information on the neutrino mass once 0νββ decay is observed.

Currently predicted matrix-element values depend on the many-body method used to calculate them and, in addition, they may need to be “quenched”, as the matrix elements of other beta decays that, however, have a very different momemtum-transfer regime. I will discuss recent efforts towards obtaining reliable nuclear matrix elements, ranging from improved calculations with phenomenological many-body approaches, to the first applications of “ab initio” many-body methods to 0νββ decay, finalizing with possible measurements that could be very useful totest calculations and to provide information on the value of the 0νββ matrix elements.

Constraining Ab Initio Models and the Nuclear Force with Rare Isotopes Tuesday, 29 May 2018 15:20 (20 minutes)

Our Universe has a wide variety of visible matter. An important fundamental question ishow nature combines the building blocks, protons and neutrons, to form the large variety of complex many-body nuclei. Addressing this question requires synthesizing observed properties of nuclei and predictions from theoretical models built with knowledge of the nuclear force. A complete understanding of the nuclear force remains a challenge. A major advance in this front has been the description of the nuclear force based on the chiral effective field theory. However, there are different prescriptions of the chiral interactions that need to be constrained with experiments.

Rare isotopes with neutron-proton asymmetry bring in additional sensitivity in defining the force and constraining the models. This presentation will discuss how experimental investigations of static ground state nuclear properties such as masses and radii and dynamic observables such as excitation spectra and diffraction pattern in nuclear scattering have unfolded new understanding of the ab initio models, the nuclear forces and exhibited the crucial importance of the three-nucleon force. An outlook on future experimental prospects with rare isotopes will be presented together with the need for ab initio theoretical developments.

Expected Performance of the Upgraded ATLAS Experiment for HL-LHC Saturday, 2 June 2018 16:35 (25 minutes)

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been successfully delivering proton-proton collision data at the unprecedented center of mass energy of 13 TeV. An upgrade is planned to increase the instantaneous luminosity delivered by the LHC in what is called the HL-LHC, aiming to deliver a total of up to 3,000 fb−1 to 4,000 fb−1 of data per experiment. To cope with the expected data- taking conditions, ATLAS is planning major upgrades of the detector. It is now a critical time for these upgrade projects and during the last year and a half, six Technical Design Reports (TDR) were produced by the ATLAS Collaboration. In these TDRs the physics motivation and benefits of such upgrades are discussed together with details of the upgrade project itself. In this contribution we review the expected performance of the upgraded ATLAS detector and the expected reach for physics measurements as well as the discovery potential for new physics that is expected by the end of the HL-LHC data-taking. The performance of object reconstruction under the expected pile-up conditions will beshown, including a fully re-optimized b-tagging algorithm. Important benchmark physics projections including di-Higgs boson production sensitivity will be discussed.

Limits on the mixing of neutrinos in the mass range 60–135 MeV/c2 with the electron neutrino, which are up to an order of magnitude improvement over previous results, will be presented.

The PIENU experiment was also designed to make a high-precision measurement ofthe π → eν Γ(π→eν + π→eνγ) branching ratio: Rπ = Γ(π→µν + π→µνγ) , which provides a sensitive test of lepton universality and places tight constraints on many new physics scenarios.

Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay in Chiral Effective Field Theory Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:10 (20 minutes)

Within the framework of chiral effective field theory I will discuss the leading contributions tothe neutrinoless double-beta decay transition operator induced by light Majorana neutrinos. Based on renormalization arguments, I will argue that one needs to introduce a leading-order short-range operator, missing in all current calculations. I will then discuss strategies to determine the finite part of the short-range coupling by matching to lattice QCD or by relating it via chiral symmetry to isospin-breaking observables in the two-nucleon sector. Finally, I will estimate the impact of this new contribution on nuclear matrix elements of relevance to experiment.

Current Status of Hydrodynamic Modeling from p+p to Heavy Ions Thursday, 31 May 2018 15:20 (20 minutes)

In recent years, suggestive signatures of collective flow-like behavior have been observed in p+p collisions at the LHC and also in light+heavy-ion collisions. We review hydrodynamic model calculations that reasonably describe the experimentally measured dNch/dη and v2, v3, v4 at η = 0 in collisions from Pb+Pb down to p+p. Nevertheless, it is still uncertain whether the flow-like correlations in small collisions should be ascribed the same hydrodynamic origin as in heavy+heavy-ion collisions. Resolving this problem requires knowing (1) how a proton should impart its fluctuating shape on hydrodynamic initial data (e.g. ε2, ε3), and (2) in what situations hydrodynamics is justified. It turns out the entire non-hydrodynamic behavior of a system is encoded at large ordersin the hydrodynamic gradient expansion, whose resummation yields a subset of microscopic system trajectories known as a hydrodynamic attractor. The behavior of trajectories near this attractor define an “off-equilibrium” version of hydrodynamics, whose applicability for small collisions is justified. This provides an answer to (2), but leaves (1), the choice of hydro initial data, asanopen issue.

LIGO/VIRGO Observations of Neutron Star Merger GW170817 Saturday, 2 June 2018 14:00 (35 minutes)

Neutron stars host the densest stable matter in the universe. Accurately modeling their multi- messenger astrophysics relies on a detailed description of the equation of state above nuclear density. Astronomical observations, including binary pulsar dynamics, x-ray bursts and timing, and gravitational-wave observations, can in turn be used to constrain the properties of this dense matter. On August 17, 2017 the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors discovered the first gravitational- wave signal consistent with a binary neutron star inspiral. A gamma-ray burst detected 1.7 seconds after merger confirmed the long-held hypothesis that neutron-star mergers produce short gamma- ray bursts, and the three-dimensional localization of the source using LIGO and Virgo data enabled a successful electromagnetic follow-up campaign that identified an associated kilonova in a galaxy ∼40 Mpc from Earth.

Using the observed gravitational waves we are able to constrain the equation of state of dense matter in neutron stars. I will outline how these constraints are made, how they connectwith other astronomical observations, and outline future prospects for connecting gravitational-wave astronomy with above-nuclear-density physics.

Stellar Explosions in the Lab: Measurements of Key Nuclear Reactions Driving Nucleosynthesis Wednesday, 30 May 2018 14:00 (20 minutes)

Stellar explosions such as novae, supernovae, X-ray bursts, and neutron star mergers are respon- sible for the synthesis of a large fraction of the terrestrial elements. Nucleosynthesis in explosive environments is driven by rapid successions of nuclear reactions and decays. In order to understand the dynamics and isotopic yields of stellar explosions, it is essential that the rates of the underlying nuclear reactions be well understood. Hence both direct and indirect laboratory measurements of key nuclear reactions involved in the nucleosynthesis processes are essential for a complete understanding of explosive stellar nucleosynthesis. Many of these reactions proceed away from the valley of nuclear stability, leading to the requirement that radioactive beams be employed for measurements.

In this talk, I will give an overview of recent state-of-the-art efforts to constrain explosive stellar nucleosynthesis through direct and indirect laboratory measurements. In particular, I will focus on measurements pertaining to radiative proton capture reactions that are important in classical novae. This will include a discussion of recent direct measurements using the DRAGON recoil mass separator and radioactive beams from the ISAC-I facility at TRIUMF. I will also discuss a new program under development at the Texas A&M University Cyclotron Institute, targeted at performing indirect measurements of radiative proton capture using re-accelerated radioactive beams.

First Extraction of Transversity from Data on Lepton-Hadron Scattering and Hadronic Collisions Friday, 1 June 2018 17:30 (20 minutes)

We present the first extraction of the transversity distribution in the framework of collinear factorization based on the global analysis of pion-pair production in deep-inelastic scattering off transversely polarized targets and in proton-proton collisions with one transversely polarized proton. The extraction relies on the knowledge of dihadron fragmentation functions, which are taken from the analysis of electron-positron annihilation data. For the first time, the chiral-odd transversity is extracted from a global analysis similar to what is usually done for the chiral-even spin averaged and helicity distributions. The knowledge of transversity is important for detecting possible signals of new physics in high-precision low-energy experiments.

In recent years, there is a renewed interest in the dibaryons due to exclusive measurements in hadron reactions as well as the direct measurement in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In this talk, we will present the result of the dibaryon searches from lattice QCD. Particularly we focus onthe study of “Most strange dibaryon”, which is composed of two Ω baryons. First, we will show the 1 result of the Ω-Ω interaction in the S0 channel at almost physical point, and then will clarify that the interaction leads to a shallow bound state. We may talk about the ∆-∆ interaction in the 7 S3 channel in the case of the heavy pion mass. In the interaction, there appears a deep bound state that is observed as a resonance of two nucleons in an experiment by the CELSIUS/WASA Collaboration.

The Proton Radius Puzzle – Why We All Should Care Saturday, 2 June 2018 16:10 (30 minutes)

A new scalar boson which couples to the muon and proton can simultaneously solve the proton radius puzzle and the muon anomalous magnetic moment discrepancy. Using a variety of measurements, we constrain the mass of this scalar and its couplings to the electron, muon, neutron, and proton. Making no assumptions about the underlying model, these constraints and the requirement that it solve both problems limit the mass of the scalar to between about 100 keV and 100 MeV. We identify two unexplored regions in the coupling constant-mass plane. The implications of recent experiments are discussed.

The Search for the Color Transparency in Hall C at Jefferson Lab Wednesday, 30 May 2018 18:00 (25 minutes)

Color transparency (CT) is a fundamental phenomenon of QCD postulating that at high momentum transfer hadrons fluctuate to a small color neutral transverse size in the nucleus, andfinal state interactions within the nuclear medium are suppressed. CT is observed experimentally as a rise in the measured nuclear transparency as a function of the momentum transferred. While CT has been observed for mesons, it remains unconfirmed in baryons. Observation of CT in baryons would provide a new handle for understanding the nuclear strong force and the first observations of hadrons fluctuating to a small size in the nucleus. An enhancement in the nuclear transparency was observed in A(p, 2p) reactions at Brookhaven. This experiment seeks to confirm the measurement of proton transparency as well as to measure the onset. During the spring of 2018, this experiment was the first to run in Hall C at Jefferson Lab using the recently upgraded 12GeVelec- tron beam and obtained four kinematic points covering the region where Brookhaven previously observed an enhancement. This experiment used the High Momentum Spectrometer (HMS) and Super High Momentum Spectrometer (SHMS) in coincidence to measure A(e, e′p). This talk will summarize the status of the experiment since the completion of data taking this spring.

Isolating Neutrino Cross Section Uncertainties with Theory Thursday, 31 May 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

Studies of neutrino oscillation physics lay at the intersection point of nucleon physics, nuclear physics, and experimental physics. Computations of the neutrino scattering cross sections that are necessary to understand oscillation physics require nuclear models with weak matrix elements of the nucleon. These matrix elements are difficult to probe experimentally or can be subject tosub- stantial systematic corrections, and common model parametrizations significantly underestimate the uncertainties of the pertinent nucleon amplitudes. Furthermore, these amplitudes are often determined from scattering of neutrinos with nuclei, which entangles the uncertainties from nucleon amplitudes and nuclear model assumptions. In this talk, I will highlight recent work to dissect and understand the uncertainties from neutrino scattering with free nucleons, with the intention of providing realistic estimates of the nucleon amplitude uncertainties. These studies include use of the model-independent z-expansion parametrization to reanalyze deuterium bubble chamber data as well as preliminary first-principles calculations from lattice QCD. With robust estimates ofthe uncertainty, it will then be possible to unambiguously isolate the discrepancies with experimental data that come from nucleon amplitudes and nuclear models.

The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have recently released significant new data onHiggsand diboson production in LHC Run 2. Measurements of Higgs properties have improved in many channels, while kinematic information for h → γγ and h → ZZ can now be more accurately + − incorporated in fits using the STXS method, and W W diboson production at high pT gives new sensitivity to deviations from the Standard Model. We have performed an updated global fit to precision electroweak data, W +W − measurements at LEP, and Higgs and diboson data from Runs 1 and 2 of the LHC in the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), allowing all coefficients to vary across the combined dataset, and present the results in boththe Warsaw and SILH operator bases. We exhibit the improvement in the constraints on operator coefficients provided by the LHC Run 2 data, and discuss the correlations between them. Wealso explore the constraints our fit results impose on several models of physics beyond the Standard Model.

Search for Time Reversal Invariance Violation in Resonances of Compound Nuclei Accessible Using Epithermal Neutrons Tuesday, 29 May 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

One of the main puzzles in contemporary physics is the asymmetry between matter and antimatter observed in the Universe. In our current understanding, one of the necessary ingredients to explain such asymmetry is the violation of CP (or equivalently the TRIV), however it has only been observed in the weak interaction and with a very small amplitude. Searches of new mechanisms of CP violation in the strong interaction are of scientific importance. In this context, the transmission of polarized epithermalneutrons in resonances of compound nuclei that exhibit large parity-violating effects offers a possibility to search for T-odd effects that constitute a nulltestfor TRIV and that are complementary to other searches, like the neutron EDM.

The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is a large neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay search experiment currently taking data at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS). Such searches can address fundamental questions that remain about the nature of the neutrino such as the mass hierarchy, whether they are Majorana fermions, and may present new physics beyond the Standard Model via lepton number violation. CUORE is the most massive array of crystal bolometers in the world containing a total of 988 TeO2 crystals (742 kg) with an expected sensitivity to the 130Te 0νββ half-life of 9 × 1025 years (90% C.L.) after 5 years of operation. This talk will discuss the recently published CUORE limit onthe 130Te 0νββ half-life, T > 1.3 × 1025 years (90% C.L.), as well as the current status of CUORE. Additionally an overview of the current state of R&D towards the proposed next generation experiment, CUORE Upgrade with Particle ID (CUPID), will be presented.

Implication of Chiral Symmetry on the Heavy-Light Spectroscopy Tuesday, 29 May 2018 16:30 (30 minutes)

For a long time, the quark model has served as an ordering scheme and brought systematics into the hadron zoo. However, many new hadrons that were observed since 2003, including the lowest- ⋆ lying positive-parity charm-strange mesons Ds0(2317) and Ds1(2460), do not conform with quark model expectations. Various modifications to the quark model and alternative approaches have been proposed ever since to explain their low masses and decay properties. We demonstrate that if the lightest scalar (axial vector) states are assumed to owe their existence to non-perturbative (⋆) (⋆) π/η/K − D /Ds scattering, various puzzles in the D-meson spectrum get resolved. Most importantly the ordering of the lightest strange and non-strange scalars becomes natural. We show the well constrained amplitudes for Goldstone-Boson−D/D⋆ scattering are fully consistent with recent high quality data on B− → π−π−D+ final states. This implies that the lowest quark- model positive-parity charm mesons, together with their bottom cousins, if realized in nature, do not form the ground-state multiplet. This is similar to the pattern that has been established for the scalar mesons made from light up, down and strange quarks, where the lowest multiplet is considered to be made of states not described by the quark model. In a broader view, the hadron spectrum must be viewed as more than a collection of quark model states.

Light Quark Fragmentation Studies at the B-Factories Friday, 1 June 2018 17:50 (20 minutes)

The first generation B-factories Belle and Babar, located at KEK and SLAC, respectively, took e+e− annihilation data mostly near the Υ(4S) resonance. Due to the size of the datasets, Belle sampled a record breaking 1 ab−1, BaBar about half that, as well as the precision instrumentation and PID capabilities, these facilities have been an indispensable tool for the precision study of fragmentation functions. Using data collected by Belle and BaBar, fragmentation functions can be extracted independently of the nucleon structure that has to be considered when analyzing data from deep- inelastic scattering or hadronic collisions. This is in particular valuable to determine thepolariza- tion dependence as well as transverse momentum dependence of fragmentation functions which are convoluted with poorly known quantities in SIDIS and hadronic collisions. Most recently, Belle performed precision measurements of di-hadron production as well as the first observation of transversely polarized hyperons in electron-positron annihilation. Beyond determining Fragmentation Functions, the study of hadronization allows us access to perturbative and non-perturbative QCD effects. This talk will present the latest results from the ongoing program of hadronization studies at Belle and BaBar. It will also give an outlook towards related physics opportunities at Belle II, which will start data taking this year, sampling about 40 times the luminosity that Belle did.

Novel Experimental Probes of QCD in SIDIS and e+e− Annihilation Saturday, 2 June 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

Semi-inclusive deep inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) has been a very successful tool to investigate the partonic structure of the nucleon over the last decade. Compared to inclusive DIS, information about the quantum numbers of the struck quark can be inferred from the identity, distribution and polarization of the final state hadrons. Up to now, virtually all knowledge about the quark-gluon structure of the nucleon from SIDIS has been gained from distributions of independently observed scalar hadrons. However, given the amount of data current and future experiments at JLab, RHIC, KEK and the EIC will collect, new paradigms have to be explored to leverage the statistical power of the data. Similar to other fields in nuclear and particle physics, it is natural to move towards the exploration of more complex correlations in the observed final state. This talk will discuss recent results and future prospects of using di-hadron correlations and polarized hyperon probes to study QCD in SIDIS, pp and e+e− annihilation. Both of these probes exploit additional degrees of freedom in the final state, given by the relative momentum of the di-hadron pair and thehyperon polarization, respectively. This talk will focus on recent results and opportunities opened bythese probes to study nucleon structure, hadronization and QCD in novel ways. The focus will be on planned SIDIS measurements at CLAS12 at JLab and e+e− at Belle II.

PROSPECT (Precision Reactor Oscillation and SPECTrum) is a short-baseline reactor antineutrino experiment. PROSPECT consists of a segmented 4-ton 6Li liquid scintillator antineutrino detector that will precisely measure the 235U fission antineutrino spectrum from the High-Flux Iso- tope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). PROSPECT’s high statistics and high resolution measurements of the antineutrino energy spectrum and flux from HFIR’s 235U core will be vital to understanding the discrepancies between predicted and measured antineutrino spectra and fluxes observed in previous commercial power reactor neutrino experiments; in addition, PROSPECT will search for the existence of sterile neutrino oscillations at the eV-scale. PROSPECT’s assembly was completed in late 2017 and data taking at HFIR began in 2018. This talk will explain PROSPECT’s physics objectives, describe its experimental design, and cover its installation and initial data-taking at ORNL.

The kaon-decay-at-rest (KDAR) neutrino represents a standard candle for studying neutrino-nucleus interactions, cross sections, and energy reconstruction in the hundreds of MeV region and can be used for a number of precision measurements.

Measurement of the Neutron Lifetime Using a Magneto-Gravitational Trap Wednesday, 30 May 2018 16:10 (20 minutes)

Precision measurements of the free neutron lifetime τn, when combined with measurements of the axial vector coupling, can be used to test unitarity of the CKM matrix. Nonunitarity is a signal for physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Sensitivity to BSM physics requires measurements of τn to a precision of 0.1 s. However, the two dominant techniques to measure τn (colloquially beam and bottle measurements) disagree by nearly 10 s.UCNτ is a neutron lifetime experiment using a magneto-gravitational trap and an in-situ neutron detector. Neutrons in this trap are not susceptible to loss on material walls as in previous bottle measurements. Additionally, the in-situ detector allows spectral monitoring of the trapped Ultracold Neutrons. In this talk, I will present

The Rydberg Constant and Proton Size from Atomic Hydrogen Saturday, 2 June 2018 16:40 (30 minutes)

Precision measurements of atomic hydrogen (H) have long been successfully used to extract fundamental constants and to test bound-state quantum electrodynamics. Both the Rydberg constant R∞ and the proton root mean square charge radius rp can be determined by H spectroscopy, requiring the measurement of at least two transition frequencies. With the very precisely measured 1S-2S transition frequency serving as a corner stone [1], the current limitation is the measurement precision of other H transition frequencies. Moreover, the CODATA 2014 value [2] for rp, containing the H spectroscopy world data and elastic scattering results, disagrees by 5.6 standard deviations (σ) with the much more precise value extracted from spectroscopy of muonic hydrogen (µp) [3]. Using a cryogenic beam of H atoms optically excited to the initial 2S state, we measured the 2S-4P transition in H with a relative uncertainty of 4 parts in 1012 [4]. Combining our result with the 1S-2S transition frequency yields the values of the Rydberg constant R∞ = 10973731.568076(96) −1 m and rp = 0.8335(95) fm. Our rp value is 3.7σ smaller than the CODATA value, but in good agreement with the µp value. [1] C.G. Parthey et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 203001 (2011). [2] P.J. Mohr et al., Rev. Mod.

The ππππ channel is one of the most important for the muon g-2 calculation, while our measurements of the KKππ channels obviate the need to rely on isospin relations and greatly improve the results in these channels.

Improving Astrophysical Nuclear Rates with New Many-Body and Fewer-Body Reaction Models Wednesday, 30 May 2018 14:40 (20 minutes)

Nuclear and particle astrophysics has long relied on relatively crude models of nuclear reaction rates, because computational methods are lacking for systems of more than two particles and because empirical constraints on simplified models are scarce. Ab initio methods, which model nuclei using a quantitatively accurate nucleon-nucleon interaction and reasonably complete model spaces, now offer alternatives to the traditional reaction-by-reaction or systematics-based phenomenology. Particularly at A < 12, there are now theoretical cross sections grounded directly in nucleon-level physics. I will give a quick overview of this work to date, emphasizing the significant further investments in each ab initio approach that are needed to produce accurate results with quantified errors. I will then argue that in the long run, these methods are unlikely todeliver astrophysical rates of the desired precision without inputs beyond the nucleon-nucleon interaction: rates are too sensitive to “finely tuned” numbers like threshold and resonance energies. It is therefore urgent to develop methods that can consistently incorporate complementary information from both ab initio and empirical data into “fewer-body” models like the empirical R-matrix or halo effective field theory (EFT), particularly in combination with Bayesian methods toprovide quantified errors. I will illustrate this point with applications of halo EFT to rates inthesolar pp-chain.

Using Microhalos to Probe the Universe’s First Second Wednesday, 30 May 2018 14:20 (20 minutes)

As remnants of the earliest stages of structure formation, the smallest dark matter halos provide a unique probe of the primordial density fluctuations generated during inflation and the evolution of the early Universe. Any enhancement to the small-scale matter power spectrum will trigger the formation of dark matter halos far earlier than otherwise expected. Consequently, observational limits on the abundance of early-forming ultra-compact minihalos (UCMHs) place a powerful upper bound on the amplitude of the small-scale power spectrum, which in turn constrains inflationary models. Numerical simulations of UCMH formation reveal that these constraints need to be revised: UCMHs do not have the steep power-law density profiles predicted by spherical collapse. The abundance of microhalos also encodes information about the evolution of the Universe prior to Big Bang nucleosynthesis because deviations from radiation domination accelerate the growth of small-scale density perturbations. The resulting population of microhalos significantly boosts the dark matter annihilation rate, making it possible to use gamma-ray observations to learnabout the evolution of the Universe during its first second.

Signatures of Superradiant Axions from Lasing and Binary Merger Events Friday, 1 June 2018 15:20 (20 minutes)

Superradiant axions around black holes can produce electromagnetic signatures via lasing or via conversion to photons in a strong magnetic field. The latter can also produce gravitational wave signatures besides electromagnetic ones in binary merger events involving a strongly magnetized neutron star and a black hole (BHNS). Due to the smallness of the axion mass, medium effects of the black hole environment and the interstellar medium can significantly affect electromagnetic signatures from lasing. I discuss these medium effects and the conditions under which lasing can take place. I also find that a significant fraction of the energy in the axion condensate canbe released via photons in a strong magnetic field of a neutron star within the characteristic time scale of merger events. This could lead to signatures in gravitational waves from merger eventsof BHNS pairs.

The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab aims to measure the neutrinoless conversion of a negative muon into an electron, a reaction violating charged lepton flavor conservation. This process is extremely suppressed in the Standard Model, and an observation would constitute an unambiguous sign of new physics beyond the Standard Model. The conversion signal is characterized by a monochro- matic electron with an energy slightly below the rest mass of the muon (104.97 MeV). We expect to reach a single event sensitivity on the ratio between the muon conversion and capture rate in aluminum of 3 × 10−17 at 90% CL after three years of data taking.

We present an overview of the theory and motivation for the Mu2e experiment, our experimental design, and the current status of the experiment. We also provide a brief summary of the proposed Mu2e-II experiment that would provide a factor of 10 improvement in sensitivity over Mu2e.

We present a recent joint measurement of the CP violating angle β using 1.1 inverse attobarns of data collected by the BaBar and Belle experiments. This analysis is based on a time-dependent → ⋆ 0 → 0 + − Dalitz plot analysis of B D h with D KSπ π decays. These decays provide experimental access to cos(2β) as well as sin(2β), and can therefore resolve an ambiguity in the determination of the apex of the CKM Unitarity Triangle. As part of the analysis, a full Dalitz plot amplitude → 0 + − analysis of D KSπ π is performed on a high-statistics charm data set. We report the first evidence for cos(2β)>0, an observation of CP violation, and the exclusion of the second solution of the CKM Unitarity Triangle of β = 68.1 ± 0.7 degrees at a significance of 7.3 standard deviations.

GlueX will contribute significant complementary information to this discussion by studying the production with a polarized 9 GeV photon beam.

Multi-Angle Simulations of Matter-Neutrino Resonance Tuesday, 29 May 2018 15:20 (20 minutes)

Neutrino flavor transformation in compact object mergers can be dominated by matter-neutrino resonances (MNRs). By efficiently converting electron neutrinos to other species, MNRs canaf- fect nucleosynthesis and the dynamics of the merger. Prior to our work, calulations of MNR have used the single-angle approximation, only following flavor evolution along a single neutrino tra- jectory. However, self-consistency requires that all trajectories be treated simultaneously. It was not known whether MNR phenomena would be present in a multi-angle model, or whether they were merely an artifact of the single-angle approximation. We present the first fully multi-angle calculations of MNR, finding that some familiar features of single-angle MNR are still present. However, there are qualitative differences compared to the single-angle results. We show that the type of flavor transformation seen in multi-angle MNR is extremely robust, occurring with relatively little change under a wide variety of physical conditions. This suggests that neutrino flavor transformation due to MNR can play an important role in merger environments, anddoes not strongly depend on detailed assumptions about the matter distribution, neutrino spectrum or composition.

Neutron-Antineutron Conversion to Search for B-L Violation Thursday, 31 May 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

Neutron-antineutron (n–n¯) conversion describes the change of a neutron into an antineutron as mediated by an external source. As a result its ability to occur is not limited by the presence of magnetic fields or matter, as would be the case if a neutron were to transform spontaneously, orto oscillate, into an antineutron. We explore the limits on the appearance of baryon number minus lepton number (B-L) violation that can be set through the study of the conversion process, notably through scattering experiments employing intense beams, and we discuss the conditions under which such studies can also yield limits on the neutron’s Majorana mass.

These include identification and filtering of excess TPC noise, signal calibration and measurements of attenuation of drifting electrons, as well as diffusion andrecom- bination. MicroBooNE, residing on the surface, can also provide useful information about cosmic ray rate and the build up of space charge in the TPC volume.

We discuss the presence of a bump in the similar ATLAS monojet search, and discuss a simplified model that provides an excellent combined fit to these excesses and discuss all additional constraints.

Cosmological Bounds on Non-Abelian Dark Forces Friday, 1 June 2018 15:00 (20 minutes)

Non-Abelian dark gauge forces that do not couple directly to ordinary matter may be realized in nature. If the dark sector is reheated in the early universe, it will be realized as a set of dark gluons at high temperatures and as a collection of dark glueballs at lower temperatures, with a cosmological phase transition from one form to the other. These glueballs can be, if left alone, the cosmological dark matter. We explore the parameter space needed to satisfy present dayden- sities. However, despite being dark, these new glueball states can also connect indirectly to the Standard Model through various operators. These interactions will transfer energy between the dark and visible sectors, and they allow some or all of the dark glueballs to decay. We investigate the cosmological evolution and decays of dark glueballs in the presence of connector operators to the Standard Model. Dark glueball decays can modify cosmological and astrophysical observables, and we use these considerations to put very strong limits on the existence of pure non-Abelian dark forces. On the other hand, if one or more of the dark glueballs are stable, we find that they can potentially make up the dark matter of the universe.

Laboratory Probes of the Neutron-Matter Equation of State Tuesday, 29 May 2018 14:00 (20 minutes)

The nuclear Equation of State (EoS) is central to the understanding of the matter found inneutron stars and in explosive stellar environments. This includes the dynamics in neutron star mergers or core collapse supernovae in which many of the heavy elements are formed. Such environments are often neutron-rich and their description requires extrapolating the properties of neutron-rich matter from that of symmetric matter containing equal numbers of neutrons and protons.This extrapolation is governed by the nuclear symmetry energy, which can be defined to be the difference between the EoS of neutron matter and that of symmetric matter. In this talk, I will discuss the experimental probes using heavy ion collisions with different isospin reactions to explore the symmetry energy from sub-normal to supra-normal density and its implication to the tidal de- formability in the neutron star merger.

Nuclear-Matter Equation of State from Chiral Effective Field Theory Tuesday, 29 May 2018 15:00 (20 minutes)

Nuclear matter is an ideal testbed for nuclear interactions with important consequences for nuclear astrophysics as well as finite nuclei. In particular, recent ab initio calculations of medium-mass to heavy nuclei have demonstrated the importance of realistic saturation properties of infinite matter for nuclear forces. We present an efficient Monte-Carlo framework for perturbative calculations of infinite nuclear matter based on two-, three-, and four-nucleon forces derived within chiral effective field theory. It enables to incorporate all many-body contributions in a transparent and also straightforward way, making it well-suited for pushing the limits of current state-of-the-art calculations to high orders in both the chiral as well as the many-body expansion. Furthermore, uncertainty estimates can be systematically extracted by order-by-order calculations, which provides important insights into the rate of convergence of each of the two expansions.

After demonstrating its versatility, we make use of this novel framework to explore newchiral interactions up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO) and study the equation of state of neutron and symmetric nuclear matter. Remarkably, simultaneous fits to the triton and to saturation properties can be achieved with natural 3N low-energy couplings. Taking advantage of the framework’s efficacy, future chiral potentials may be optimized with respect to empirical saturation properties.

Applications of Chiral Forces to Nuclear Matter and Neutron Stars Friday, 1 June 2018 17:30 (20 minutes)

The equation of state of (isospin-)asymmetric nuclear matter is a key quantity for nuclear astrophysics. In this talk, we discuss recent progress of microscopic calculations based on nuclear forces derived within chiral effective field theory and many-body perturbation theory. We focus inpar- ticular on applications of our improved normal-ordering method which enables the treatment of general three-body (3N) interactions starting from a partial-wave-decomposed form. Specifically, chiral 3N forces up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO) are now accessible in partial- wave based frameworks.

Applying these density-dependent effective two-body potentials to matter of arbitrary proton fractions, we show results for the equation of state, symmetry energy, incompressibility in conjugation with empirical parametrizations including the quadratic expansion in isospin-asymmetry. Further- more, we elaborate on constructing equations of state up to the high central densities typically realized in neutron stars. These can then be used to constrain, e.g., mass-radius relations. Remarkably tight constraints have been obtained with our state-of-the-art equations of state.

Generalized Parton Distributions of the Deuteron in a Covariant Framework Saturday, 2 June 2018 17:10 (30 minutes)

Generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of the deuteron have been calculated. The results of these calculations and the formalism used will be presented. General properties of spin-1 GPDs, including polynomiality sum rules, will be discussed. It will be shown that these expected properties are observed in a convolution formalism if nuclear structure is calculated in a Lorentz-covariant manner. A four-Fermi contact interaction based on the NJL model is used to construct a covariant deuteron wave function, which is in turn used to calculate GPDs, gravitational form factors, and transverse (impact parameter dependent) parton densities of the deuteron.

Proton Polarizabilities from a Partial-Wave Analysis of Compton Scattering Data / Sum Rules Connecting Real and Virtual Compton Scattering on the Nucleon Thursday, 31 May 2018 15:10 (30 minutes)

Talk 169: I would like to present a first partial wave-analysis (PWA) of the experimental cross sections of Compton scattering on the proton [1]. The resulting solutions reveal an appreciable sensitivity to small refinements of the experimental database, which could explain the discrepancies amongthe various extractions of proton polarizabilities (see e.g. [3] for review). The database inconsistency can soon be resolved by the ongoing Compton experiments at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI). [1] N. Krupina, V. Lensky and V. Pascalutsa, arXiv:1712.05349 [nucl-th]. [2] O.

Talk 4: The response of a nucleon to external electromagnetic probes at low energies and low momentais encoded in structure constants, the nucleon polarizabilities. In this presentation, I will discuss new relations (sum rules) that connect the structure constants measured in real, virtual, and doubly-virtual Compton scattering (CS). These relations are obtained, assuming the analyticity of the CS amplitude. Two of the new sum rules connect structure constants dependent on the nucleon spin, e.g., the longitudinal-transverse polarizability δLT , accessed in inclusive electron scattering, is related to the static spin polarizability γE1E1, measured in the real CS, and the slope of spin generalized polarizabilities (GPs) P (M1,M1)1 −P (L1,L1)1, measured in the virtual CS. The other two sum rules hold for the unpolarized doubly-virtual CS and relate some structure constants that can only be measured in off-forward doubly-virtual CS (not experimentally accessible at present) to the slopes 2 of the nucleon’s scalar GPs and moments of the unpolarized structure functions F1(x, Q ) and 2 2 F2(x, Q ). One more relation constrains the low-Q behaviour of the subtraction function in the CS amplitude, which enters the two-photon-exchange contribution to the Lamb shift of (muonic) hydrogen.

I will discuss the verification of these sum rules, using empirical data and χPT, and the use of these relations to constrain the low-energy structure of the nucleon.

The measurement of the violation of parity symmetry in electron scattering is a powerful technique in the search for new fundamental forces. The Qweak collaboration has recently completed a highly precise measurement of parity violation in the elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from unpolarized protons. From this result, the weak charge of the proton is determined and compared to the Standard Model prediction, providing a constraint on the possible influence of new physics. The result will be presented, and the techniques and implications of this measurement will be discussed. Prospects for future improvements will also be briefly reviewed.

Probing BSM and High-x Physics with SoLID at JLab Friday, 1 June 2018 14:00 (20 minutes)

The SoLID spectrometer is being designed at JLab in order to provide a high luminosity andhigh- acceptance device for studies of parity-violation in deep inelastic scattering (PVDIS). The PVDIS studies will measure the vector-electron and axial-quark coupling, which is small in the Standard Model and thus provides a good test of BSM physics. In addition, the method provides a unique way to measure physics at large Bjorken x. Charge symmetry violation can be isolated with a deuterium target and an isovector EMC effect can be studied in a neutron-rich nucleus suchas 48Ca. In addition, quark-quark correlations can be isolated in higher-twist effects. With a proton target, the d/u PDF ratio can be measured directly without making corrections for nuclear targets. These topics will be reviewed in the context of recent theoretical and experimental developments.

R-Process Experiments with Unstable Isotope Beams Friday, 1 June 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

The measurement of elemental abundances in ultra-metal poor stars over the last decade, and the recent observation of a neutron-star merger event, are crucial steps towards solving one of the outstanding questions in nuclear astrophysics: the synthesis of the heaviest elements during the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process). However, and in spite of steady progress in the experimental and theoretical fronts, the lack of reliable nuclear data for most isotopes involved in the r-process still represents a significant hurdle to make precise comparisons of astrophysical theories with astronomical observations. Improving nuclear data for the r-process is one of the main motivations for the development of a new generation of radioactive ion beam laboratories specifically designed to be able to reach very unstable isotopes. I will review current efforts onr- process experiments with radioactive ion beams, discussing examples of measurements of nuclear masses and decay properties of neutron-rich isotopes at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) in the US, and the Radioactive Ion Beam Factory (RIBF) of RIKEN in Japan, which our group is involved with. I will also present an outlook of the exciting new experimental opportunities that will be offered by the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) under development at Michigan State University.

PEN Experiment: a Precise Test of Lepton Universality Tuesday, 29 May 2018 17:10 (20 minutes)

+ + V –A helicity suppression of the π → e ν(γ) decay (known as “πe2”) amplifies the sensitivity to pseudoscalar terms by a factor of ∼8000, enabling indirect searches for non-SM pseudoscalar terms, as well as scalar and tensor terms, through loop effects, with good sensitivity to interesting regions π → of the beyond-SM parameter space (e.g., supersymmetric extensions). The ratio Re/µ = [Γ(π eν¯(γ))]/ [Γ(π → µν¯(γ))] provides the current best limit on the universality of W coupling to the e and the µ, with broad implications, including in the neutrino sector. Recent LHCb data on 0 → ⋆ + − B K0 ℓ ℓ decays, coming on the heels of previous measurements from Belle and BaBar, have focused new interest on possible violation of lepton universality. The PEN collaboration is at the π −3 threshold of obtaining new results for Re/µ at sub-10 precision from measurements completed at PSI several years ago. We discuss the status of the PEN data analysis and the expected uncertainty limits, as well as complementarity with results of high-energy studies.

Properties of the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817 Friday, 1 June 2018 16:40 (30 minutes)

Observations of binary neutron star mergers such as GW170817 by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational- wave detectors provide unique ways of constraining the equation of state through tidal interactions and potential observations of a post-merger signal. In this work we improve initial estimates of the parameters of GW170817 using the known source location, improved waveform modeling, additional data down to 23 Hz compared to the 30 Hz in the initial analysis, and re-calibrated Virgo data. We compare results inferred using several waveform models which incorporate additional physical effects as compared to the initial TaylorF2 waveform reported with the discovery of GW170817. These effects include precession, the spin induced quadrupole moment, and tidal effects calibrated with numerical simulations. We report updated constraints on the masses, spins, and tidal parameters, and compare these results to predictions from various equation of state models. Finally, we perform an unmodeled Bayesian analysis to place upper limits on the amplitude and spectral energy density of the unobserved post-merger signal.

Numerical Simulations of Neutron Star Mergers Friday, 1 June 2018 17:10 (20 minutes)

The observation of gravitational waves and electromagnetic signals powered by the merger oftwo neutron stars has already provided us with a wealth of information about compact objects, high- energy astrophysics, and nuclear astrophysics. To extract as much information as possible from such observations, however, a deeper understanding of the highly non-linear merger events is necessary. Accurate studies of the merger of two neutron stars, or of a black hole and a neutron star, require complex numerical simulations capable of evolving Einstein’s equations of general relativity, and the general relativistic equations of magnetohydrodynamics and neutrino radiation transport. In this talk, I will review recent efforts to improve the accuracy and physical realism of these simulations. I will discuss our current ability to model the properties of observable gravitational wave and electromagnetic signals, as well as important limitations of existing simulations that may still affect our ability to reliably extract information from some of these signals.

Final Results from the n3He Experiment: Parity Violation in n-3He Capture Saturday, 2 June 2018 16:40 (30 minutes)

Parity violation (PV), first observed in semileptonic decays, has been determined precisely for quarks and leptons as part of the Standard Model. At the hadronic level, it offers a unique probe of nucleon structure and the underlying low-energy behavior of non-perturbative QCD. The hadronic weak interaction is characterized in terms of five spin and isospin dependent S-P transition amplitudes. There is an active program to determine these low energy couplings from hadronicPV observables using cold neutron beams at the Spallation Neutron Source (ORNL) and the NCNR reactor (NIST). These experiments are carried out in few-body observables, for which the nuclear wave functions are exactly calculable, but the effects are dominated by the strong interaction by seven orders of magnitude. The n3He experiment recently completed a measurement of thePV directional proton asymmetry with respect to the neutron spin in the reaction n + 3He → p + 3H. In this talk, we will report the final result, which is sensitive to the ∆I = 0, 1 transition amplitude and provides significant constraints for new theory calculations.

Measurement of Polarization Observables in the Reaction γp → K+Λ Tuesday, 29 May 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

Spin observables are important to understand the production mechanisms of hyperons, as well as the contribution of intermediate baryon resonances. Λ polarization observables have been studied extensively in the recent decades using the reaction γ + p → K+ + Λ. This talk presents the measurement of transferred polarization coefficients Cx and Cz, and the induced polarization P , using a new set of high statistics data, obtained using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrome- ter (CLAS) detector at Jefferson Lab. The photon beam energy range is 1.117 to 5.45 GeV.These results (Cx,Cz and P ) are extracted simultaneously using the Maximum Likelihood Method. The measurements for Cx and Cz have nearly an order of magnitude increase in events compared to previously published results and also extend the kinematic range for W > 2.54 GeV, important for both the search for high-mass nucleon states as well as to provide information about non-resonant contributions.

We demonstrate that these predictions are in reasonable agreement with the limited number of available high energy data, indicating on the possible first observation of 3N SRCs in the nuclei.

The x dependence of the EMC effect has been measured for a variety of nuclei in a multitude of experiments conducted over the past 35 years. Previous EMC ratio measurements for light nuclei (A ≤ 12) have shown a dependence on the local nuclear structure of nucleons and the associated modification to nuclear structure functions. The newly commissioned Super High Momentum Spectrometer (SHMS) in Hall-C has been used to collect inclusive electron scattering measurements on various light nuclei utilizing the 12 GeV CEBAF facility at Jefferson Lab. These data obtained during a portion of E12-10-008 includes previously unmeasured nuclei, namely 10B and 11B, and will therefore provide a comparison of nuclei which differ by just one nucleon. This will facilitate the extraction of the nucleon structure function as modified by the nuclear medium. Status of the target-ratio analysis of recently acquired E12-10-008 data will be discussed.

The Light Dark Matter eXperiment Tuesday, 29 May 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) proposes a high-statistics search for low-mass dark matter in fixed-target electron-nucleus collisions. Ultimately, LDMX will explore thermal relic dark matter over most of the viable sub-GeV mass range to a decisive level of sensitivity. To achieve this goal, LDMX employs the missing momentum technique, where electrons scattering in a thin target can produce dark matter via “dark bremsstrahlung” giving rise to significant missing momentum and energy in the detector. To identify these rare signal events, LDMX indi- vidually tags incoming beam-energy electrons, unambiguously associates them with low energy, moderate transverse-momentum recoils of the incoming electron, and establishes the absence of any additional forward-recoiling charged particles or neutral hadrons. LDMX will employ low mass tracking to tag incoming beam-energy electrons with high purity and cleanly reconstruct recoils. A high-speed, granular calorimeter with MIP sensitivity is used to reject the high rate of bremsstrahlung background at trigger level while working in tandem with a hadronic calorimeter to veto rare photonuclear reactions. This talk will summarize the small-scale detector concept for LDMX, ongoing performance studies, and near future prospects.

The axial coupling of the nucleon, gA, is the strength of its coupling to the weak axial current of the Standard Model, much as the electric charge is the strength of the coupling to the electromagnetic current. This axial coupling dictates, for example, the rateof β-decay of neutrons to protons and the strength of the attractive long-range force between nucleons. Precision tests of the Standard Model in nuclear environments require a quantitative understanding of nuclear physics rooted in Quantum Chromodynamics, a pillar of this theory. The prominence of gA makes it a benchmark quantity to determine theoretically, a difficult task as the theory is non-perturbative. Lattice QCD provides a rigorous, non-perturbative definition of the theory which can be numerically implemented. In order to determine gA, the lattice QCD community has identified two challenges which must be overcome to achieve a 2% precision by 2020: the excited state contamination must be controlled and the statistical precision must be markedly improved. Here we report a calcula- QCD ± tion of gA = 1.271 0.013 using an unconventional method that overcomes these challenges.

Short-Distance Matrix Elements for D0-Meson Mixing from Nf = 2 + 1 Lattice QCD Friday, 1 June 2018 14:00 (30 minutes)

We calculate in three-flavor lattice QCD the short-distance hadronic matrix elements of allfive ∆C = 2 four-fermion operators that contribute to neutral D-meson mixing both in and beyond the Standard Model. We use the MILC Collaboration’s Nf = 2+1 lattice gauge-field configurations generated with asqtad-improved staggered sea quarks. We also employ the asqtad action for the valence light quarks and use the clover action with the Fermilab interpretation for the charm quark. We analyze a large set of ensembles with pions as light as Mπ ≈ 180 MeV and lattice spacings as fine as a ≈ 0.045 fm, thereby enabling good control over the extrapolation to the physical pion mass and continuum limit. We obtain for the matrix elements in the MS − NDR scheme using the choice of evanescent operators proposed by Beneke et al., evaluated at 3 GeV. To illustrate the utility of our matrix-element results, we place bounds on the scale of CP-violating new physics in D0 mixing, finding lower limits of about 10–50 ×103 TeV for couplings of O(1). To enable our results to be employed in more sophisticated or model-specific phenomenological studies, we provide the correlations among our matrix-element results. For convenience, we also present numerical results in the other commonly used scheme of Buras, Misiak, and Urban.

Realizing the Promise of 21 cm Cosmology with HERA Wednesday, 30 May 2018 16:50 (20 minutes)

21 cm cosmology promises to provide an exquisite and perhaps revolutionary new 3D probe of our early universe. With it, we can uncover the astrophysics of the first luminous objects in the universe, improve CMB constraints on cosmological parameters, and cross-check the recent EDGES detection of an anomalously large absorption feature that points tantalizingly at new physics. How- ever, realizing that promised probe of the astrophysics and cosmology of the the “Cosmic Dawn” and the epoch of reionization (EoR) has proven extremely challenging. We’re looking for a small signal buried under foregrounds orders of magnitude brighter. We need large interferometers, precisely calibrated, producing mountains of data to have any shot of seeing the signal. In this talk, I will present the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array, a purpose-built interferometer currently under construction in South Africa that is designed not just to detect the EoR but to characterize its evolution and to push deeper into the Cosmic Dawn. I will discuss the analysis techniques we’ve developed and the progress we’ve made separating the 21 cm from astrophysical foregrounds.

The Radium-225 Experiment Tuesday, 29 May 2018 17:30 (20 minutes)

Due to its large nuclear octupole deformation and high atomic mass, the radioactive isotope 225Ra is a favorable case to search for an electric dipole moment (EDM); it is particularly sensitive to CP-violating interactions in the nucleus. However, its scarcity and low vapor pressure present significant challenges. To measure this rare isotope, we have developed an approach to measuring atomic EDMs by using lasers to cool radium atoms to 40 micro-Kelvin, and then we trap those atoms in an optical dipole trap. The atoms are then allowed to precess in magnetic and strong electric fields. Using this method, we have found the EDM of radium to belessthan 1.4 × 10−23 e-cm (95% C.L.). Upcoming improvements are expected to dramatically improve our sensitivity, and significantly improve on the search for new physics in several sectors.

Determination of the Proton’s Charge Radius by Simultaneous Measurement of Electron- and Muon-Proton Elastic Scattering with the MUSE Experiment at PSI Saturday, 2 June 2018 17:30 (20 minutes)

The mean charge radius of the proton has been measured with elastic electron scattering and through spectroscopy of atomic hydrogen with consistent results. Recent results based on spectroscopic measurements of muonic hydrogen, however, have found a notably smaller charge radius with extremely high precision. This difference, known as the Proton Radius Puzzle, raises interesting issues ranging from experimental and methodological issues to physics beyond the Standard Model. To address some of these issues, the MUon proton Scattering Experiment (MUSE) at the Paul Scherrer Institute will measure positive and negative muon, electron and positron elastic scattering from the proton. The experiment will cover a four-momentum-transfer range from 0.002 to 0.08 GeV2. These data will be used to study possible differences between electron andmuon interactions, to measure two-photon exchange effects, and to extract the proton charge radius. An overview of the experiment and its status will be presented.

Event Reconstruction Techniques for ANNIE Phase II Wednesday, 30 May 2018 17:50 (20 minutes)

The Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE), deployed on the Booster Neu- trino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab, is planning to use a 26-ton Gd-doped water Cherenkov detector to study the multiplicity of final state neutrons from neutrino-nucleus interactions in water, which provides a unique opportunity to study this physics in an energy range relevant to both atmospheric and long baseline neutrino experiments. The experiment has two main goals: (1) perform the first measurement of the abundance of neutrons from neutrino interactions in water, asafunc- tion of momentum transfer, in order to constrain neutrino-nucleus interaction models, and (2) demonstrate the power of new fast-timing, position-sensitive detectors by making the first deploy- ment of the Large Area Picosecond PhotoDetectors (LAPPDs) in a physics experiment. The Phase I of ANNIE has successfully measured the neutron background inherent to the BNB. The Phase II of ANNIE will realize the physics measurements by using the arrival time and position of the Cherenkov photons in both PMTs and LAPPDs. The interaction vertices and the charged lepton tracks are reconstructed by using a maximum likelihood fit. The energies of the charged lepton and the neutrino are reconstructed by using Machine and Deep Leaning algorithms. This presentation will give an overview of the ANNIE Phase II simulation and present the recent development of event reconstruction techniques.

The ANtarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) long-duration balloon payload searches for Askaryan radio emission from ultra-high-energy (> 1018 eV) neutrinos interacting in Antarctic ice. ANITA is also sensitive to geomagnetic radio emission from extensive air showers. After a brief overview of the experiment, this talk will detail recently released results from the third flight of ANITA. Updates will also be provided on ongoing analysis of ANITA-IV and future plans. The most sensitive search from ANITA-III identified one neutrino candidate withan a priori back- +0.5 ground estimate of 0.7−0.3. When combined with previous flights, ANITA sets the best limits on diffuse neutrino flux at energies above ∼ 1019.5 eV. While the candidate is consistent with the pre-unblinding background estimate, a neutrino interpretation of the event remains plausible even after being subjected to post-unblinding examination. Additionally, ANITA-III searches identified nearly 30 extensive air shower candidates. One such event appears to correspond to an upward- going air shower similar to an event from ANITA-I. A tau neutrino could induce an upward-going air shower, but this interpretation is inconsistent with limits from other experiments and, due to the implied path length through the Earth, potentially in tension with the Standard Model’s predicted neutrino-nucleon cross-section.

Precision Constraints on Nuclear and Neutrino Reactions via Big Bang Nucleosynthesis Tuesday, 29 May 2018 14:40 (20 minutes)

Astronomical observations of high precision (Neff,YP , ωb,D/HP , Σmν ) may soon over determine the cosmological standard model. An effort to constrain physics beyond the standard model with these observations is faced with the challenge of the interrelated problems of neutrino transport (via the quantum kinetic equations) and a stiff nuclear reaction network. We overview work on this topic, highlighting recent advances in our understanding of neutrino flavor evolution in the presence of their collisions with each other and matter in the early universe. We demonstrate, by concurrent solution of the neutrino and matter plasma evolution, percent-level effects on predicted deuterium abundances due to non-equilibrium distortions of the neutrino spectra, an order of magnitude larger than previous estimates. Preliminary results for coherent neutrino flavor evolution in the presence of collisions are also discussed.

An upgrade of the experiment, MEGII, is underway with the aim to improve the sensitivity by an order of magnitude. We discuss the motivation and the analysis strategy for the search followed by a description of the new detectors, novel components and design of the existing detectors, and new calibration techniques. In preparation for the second run (2018–21), scheduled to start at the end of this year, we review the status of the current upgrades and conclude with the expected sensitivity of the MEGII experiment.

Recent Long-Baseline Neutrino Mixing Results from NOvA Wednesday, 30 May 2018 16:10 (30 minutes)

Neutrinos are elusive fundamental particles only directly detectable through weak interactions, and they may be the key to understanding supernovae, the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe, and more. Neutrinos oscillate, where they change flavor as they travel due to being ina quantum superposition of states with different masses, which has already forced us to amend the Standard Model. The details of neutrino oscillations are still being unraveled, and the US program of long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments centered around the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is at the forefront of measuring such fundamental neutrino properties. In this talk I’ll focus on the latest results from the NOvA experiment, where muon neutrinos are shot 810 km to a 14 kton liquid scintillator detector deep in the Minnesota forest.

The LArTPC capabilities in track reconstruction, energy measurement, and particle identification allow us to probe interesting regions of neutrino-argon scattering cross sections and to probe the quark composition of the nucleon and test models of nuclear structure and final-state interactions.

Position Reconstruction Using Photon Timing for the DEAP-3600 Liquid Argon Dark Matter Experiment Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:50 (20 minutes)

DEAP-3600 is a single-phase liquid argon (LAr) dark matter detector being operated 2 km underground at SNOLAB. The ultra-pure LAr target is contained in a spherical acrylic vessel of3600 kg capacity, viewed by an array of 255 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). The expected sensitivity to the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross-section is 10−46 cm2 at 100 GeV WIMP mass. Natural radioactive contamination can cause alpha decays originating in the acrylic vessel or TPB wavelength shifter, or gamma rays, mostly from PMT materials, that may induce Cerenkov light.These are potential surface backgrounds. Reconstruction of the position of the interactions taking place in the detector utilizes both charge and timing. Including this information in our suite of cuts allows us to identify and remove almost all surface background events. An overview and the results of the initial filling phase is presented. A method of event position reconstruction emphasizing photon timing will be discussed.

Towards TUCAN’s Search for the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment Tuesday, 29 May 2018 16:50 (20 minutes)

TUCAN (TRIUMF ultracold advanced neutron source) is a transpacific collaboration with the ob- jective to measure the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) with unprecedented precision. We aim at a precision of 10−27 e.cm, an improvement by a factor of 30 over the current upper limit for this elusive quantity. A non-zero nEDM violates parity and time-reversal symmetry, and is thus intimately linked to the baryon asymmetry of the universe. The tool of choice to search for an nEDM are ultracold neutrons (UCN) that move at velocities of only a few meters per second and can be stored and observed for up to hundreds of seconds. TUCAN recently completed a major milestone: production of the first UCN in Canada by operating a prototype source, developed at RCNP Osaka, Japan, at a dedicated proton beam line at TRIUMF, Vancouver, Canada. This source is based on a neutron spallation source combined with a superfluid helium cryostat – a unique approach among the handful of worldwide efforts to produce significant densities of UCN for nEDM searches and other high precision experiments. This presentation will describe TUCAN’s current efforts and timeline towards design, implementation, and commissioning of the required next-generation UCN source and nEDM spectrometer.

Recent Results on Heavy Flavor Production in High Energy Nuclear Collisions Thursday, 31 May 2018 08:00 (35 minutes)

The goal of the ultra-relativistic heavy ion program is to study Quantum Chromodynamics under finite temperature and density conditions. After a couple of decades of experiment, thefocusat the top RHIC and the LHC energy has evolved to quantitative understanding of properties of the hot and dense medium, namely the strongly-coupled Quark Gluon Plasma (sQGP) created in these heavy-ion collisions, and to constrain transport parameters of the sQGP medium. Heavy quarks offer unique insights towards detailed understanding of the sQGP properties due to theirlarge masses. Recent collider and detector advances have enabled precision measurements of heavy quark hadron production in heavy-ion collisions.

In this talk, I will review recent results from heavy quark production measurements at RHIC and the LHC. These high quality data will offer stringent constraints on theoretical model calculations and help precision determination of QGP medium transport parameters. Finally, I look forward to a more prospective future of the heavy quark program with further improved detectors at both RHIC and the LHC.

New Results from the UCNA Experiment Wednesday, 30 May 2018 16:50 (20 minutes)

The primary goal of the UCNA experiment is to provide, using polarized ultracold neutrons (or UCN), a high precision measurement of the axial coupling constant in neutron decay, gA. High precision predictions for neutron decay in the Standard Model can be achieved with just two measurements: one to fix the absolute vector coupling strength, and one to determine gA. These parameters play a critical role in a variety of physics scenarios, such as big bang nucleosynthesis, high precision models of the solar fusion rate, and high precision modeling of reactor neutrino fluxes. Neutron measurements also provide input for constraints on a variety of extensions tothe Standard Model, in many cases at, or beyond, the sensitivity ultimately expected from the Large Hadron Collider. Although the vector coupling strength can be obtained from super-allowed nuclear decays, neutron decay is the definitive source for high precision values of gA. UCNA is designed to determine gA through a measurement of the angular correlation between the neutron spin and the momentum of the emitted beta particle, known as the beta asymmetry. UCNA isalso the first angular correlation measurement to utilize UCN to control key sources of systematic error: the neutron polarization and neutron-generated backgrounds. We present here the results of 2011–2013 running at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center and place our results in the context of the world data set.

LEGEND: The Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay Tuesday, 29 May 2018 17:10 (20 minutes)

The lepton number violating process of neutrinoless double-beta decay could result from thephysics beyond the Standard Model needed to generate the neutrino masses. Taking different approaches, the current generation of 76Ge experiments, the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR and GERDA, lead the field in both the ultra-low background and energy resolution achieved. The next generation of neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments requires increased mass and further reduction of backgrounds to maximize discovery potential. Building on the successes of the MAJORANA DEMON- STRATOR and GERDA, the LEGEND collaboration has been formed to pursue a tonne-scale 76Ge experiment, with discovery potential at a half-life beyond 1028 years. The collaboration aims to develop a phased neutrinoless double-beta decay experimental program, starting with a 200 kg measurement using the existing GERDA cryostat at LNGS. I will discuss the plans and physics reach of LEGEND, and the combination of R&D efforts and existing resources being employed to expedite physics results.

BICEP/Keck: Constraining the Primordial Gravitational-Wave Signal with CMB Polarization Observations from the South Pole Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:40 (30 minutes)

The inflationary scenario generically predicts the existence of primordial gravitational waves(GW), though over a wide range of amplitudes from slow-roll to multi-field models. Currently the most promising method for constraining, and potentially detecting, an inflationary GW background is to search for the imprint that these tensor perturbations would leave on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization as a parity-odd “B-mode” pattern. The BICEP/Keck experiments (BK) target this primordial signature by observing the polarized microwave sky at degree-scale resolution from the South Pole. Attempting to observe the very faint primordial B-mode signal requires a telescope with exquisite sensitivity and tight control of systematics. The presence of bright Galactic emission, along with the distortion of the CMB polarization field due to gravitational lensing, make this measurement extremely challenging. In order to disentangle the primordial signal from these “foregrounds”, a wide frequency coverage is necessary. I will present the latest BK constraints on the tensor-to-scalar ratio “r” using data taken from 2010 to 2015 at 90, 150, 220 GHz (BK15), in combination with data from the Planck and WMAP satellites. Upcoming observations with the “Stage-3” BICEP Array experiment will extend this frequency range to 30–270 GHz, ultimately improving our sensitivity to r by an order of magnitude with respect to BK15, thus constraining natural inflation and all single-field models.

Isospin Dependence of the EMC Effect and Nucleon Short-Range Correlations Thursday, 31 May 2018 14:25 (25 minutes)

The number of Short-Range Correlated (SRC) pairs in nuclei is known to linearly correlate with the strength of the European Muon Collaboration (EMC) effect. This linear correlation has lead to theoretical models of the EMC effect where primarily nucleons which are members ofSRC pairs are modified. As recent work has shown, the overwhelming majority of these SRC pairsare neutron-proton (np) pairs. A consequence of np pair dominance is an isospin dependence to the EMC effect. By constructing per-neutron and per-proton SRC and EMC cross-section ratios, we show that a larger fraction of protons than of neutrons are modified in asymmetric, neutron-rich nuclei. With these new normalizations, we find that the per-neutron EMC slopes and SRC ratios both saturate much sooner than the standard per-nucleon quantities, starting already with carbon; while the per-proton values continue to increase, even going from iron to lead. In addition, we extract a universal EMC modification function based on the assumption of np pair dominance.

Understanding the EMC Effect Through Tagged Processes with ALERT Wednesday, 30 May 2018 16:10 (30 minutes)

Spectator tagged hard processes can provide insight into the origins of the EMC Effect by identifying the struck nucleon. A comprehensive program of experiments on light nuclei (deuterium and 4He) at JLab using the CLAS12 spectrometer and a Low Energy Recoil Tracker (ALERT) will detect the low energy nuclear spectator system (p, 3H and 3He) in a variety of hard scattering processes. Tagged deep inelastic scattering will provide stringent tests leading to clear differentiation between the many models describing the EMC Effect by accessing the bound nucleon virtuality through its initial momentum at the point of interaction. Furthermore, spectator-tagged deeply virtual Compton scattering will provide a measurement of off-forward EMC Effect as anewindi- cator of potential nuclear modifications of a bound nucleon. We will discuss details of theALERT detector and measurements that will help understand the origin of the EMC Effect.

Determination of Vub and Vcb Wednesday, 30 May 2018 15:00 (20 minutes)

Semileptonic decays of B mesons involving low-mass charged leptons e or µ are expected to be free of non-Standard Model contributions and therefore play a critical role in determinations of |Vcb| and |Vub| (|Vqb|). Decays of the form b → cℓν¯ℓ and b → uℓν¯ℓ allow us to determine these matrix elements and test the CKM sector of the Standard Model. The theory underlying the determination of |Vqb| is mature and experimental measurements are precise. However, the difference between exclusive and inclusive determinations persist even as the theoretical and experimental errors get smaller with more statistics, better theoretical calculations, and more precise measurements. Of all the CKM matrix parameters, |Vub| is the least precise and in most need of additional studies in order to constrain the apex of the unitarity triangle even further. We present the procedures and latest results for exclusive and inclusive determinations of |Vqb|.

Neutrino Oscillations and Supernova Nucleosynthesis Friday, 1 June 2018 17:25 (25 minutes)

A good fraction of the heavier nuclei were formed in the rapid neutron capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis scenario. Although an astrophysical site of the r-process is not yet identified, one expects such sites to be associated with explosive phenomena since a large number of interactions are required to take place during a rather short time interval. Candidate sites include core-collapse supernovae and neutron-star mergers. The dynamics of these sites very much depend on neutrinos. In particular, the sheer number of neutrinos produced give rise to collective neutrino oscillations. Collective oscillations of neutrinos represent emergent nonlinear flavor evolution phenomena in- stigated by neutrino-neutrino interactions in astrophysical environments with sufficiently high neutrino densities. In this talk the connection between neutrino collective oscillations, the dynamics of core-collapse supernovae, and the origin of chemical elements, especially those produced by the r-process nucleosynthesis, will be discussed.

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will be the first facility to collide spin-polarized electrons with polarized protons, polarized light ions, and unpolarized heavy ions at high luminosity. Using the Standard Model electroweak interactions, the EIC will provide unprecedented insights into the structure of nucleons and nuclei and the partonic dynamics inside them. In addition, it will allow for precisely measuring parameters of the electroweak Standard Model itself. Finally, the EIC will open up possibilities to look for rare phenomena beyond the Standard Model complementary to the LHC and fixed target experiments around the world. This talk discusses the capabilities of experiments at the EIC to constrain nucleon structure functions using deep inelastic scattering meditated by W and Z bosons, to measure the weak mixing angle in a new kinematics range, and to search for electron-to-tau charged lepton flavor violation.

Recent Developments in the Proton Radius Puzzle Tuesday, 29 May 2018 09:15 (35 minutes)

The CODATA-recommended value of the proton rms charge radius rp is based on hydrogen/deuterium spectroscopy and electron–proton/deuteron scattering experiments. Since 2010, a discrepancy between the rp value determined from muonic hydrogen spectroscopy and the CODATA-recommended value has led to intense research activity both in theory and experiment. The situation has recently become even more puzzling as a contradiction appeared between two new hydrogen spectroscopy results: the 2S-4P transition frequency [Beyer et al., Science 358, 2017] agrees with the muonic rp value, while the 1S-3S transition frequency presented here supports the CODATA value. In our experiment at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (Paris, France), the two-photon 1S-3S hydrogen transition is excited in an atomic beam, with a continuous-wave 205-nm laser obtained by sum frequency generation in a non-linear crystal. The transition frequency is measured with respect to the LNE-SYRTE Cs clock by means of a frequency comb. The second-order Doppler shift and other systematic effects have been included in the analysis to determine the 1S-3S transition frequency with a relative uncertainty of 9 × 10−13 [Fleurbaey et al., PRL accepted for publication, 2018]. The value of the proton radius which can be inferred is in very good agreement with the CODATA- recommended value.

In this talk, I will present the current situation of the proton radius puzzle and our latest results.

GAPS: a New Cosmic-Ray Antimatter Experiment Friday, 1 June 2018 14:30 (30 minutes)

The General AntiParticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is a balloon-borne instrument designed todetect cosmic-ray antimatter using the novel exotic atom technique, obviating strong magnetic fields required by experiments like AMS, PAMELA, or BESS. It will be sensitive to primary antideuterons with kinetic energies of ≈ 0.05 − 0.2 GeV/nucleon, providing some overlap with the previously mentioned experiments at the highest energies. For 35 × 3 day balloon flights, and certain classes of primary antideuteron propagation models, GAPS will be sensitive to mDM ≈ 10 − 100 GeV c−2 WIMPs with a dark-matter flux to astrophysical flux ratio approaching 100. This cleanpri- mary channel is a key feature of GAPS and is crucial for a rare event search. Additionally, the antiproton spectrum will be extended to cover the 0.07 ≤ E ≤ 0.25 GeV domain. For E > 0.2 GeV GAPS data will be complementary to established experiments, while E < 0.2 GeV explores a new regime. The first flight is scheduled for late 2020 in Antarctica. This talk will describethe astrophysical processes and backgrounds relevant to the dark matter search, a brief discussion of detector operation, and construction progress made to date.

Borexino is a 300-ton liquid scintillator detector located in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory in Italy. This detector has been taking solar neutrino data for the past ten years, andrecently completed new measurements of the pp, pep, 7Be, and 8B solar neutrinos. The data comprise the most complete direct experimental confirmation of Bethe’s 1939 theory of the pp-chains of nuclear reactions that produce the Sun’s energy. The new data also confirm a feature of the MSWtheory of neutrino oscillations which predicts a transition from “vacuum oscillations” to “matter effect oscillations” over the solar neutrino energy spectrum. Experimental methods that achieved the ultra-low backgrounds necessary for these results will be described, as will continuing research toward lower backgrounds for a possible future observation of CNO neutrinos.

Half-Lives of the Neutron-Rich N = 82 Isotopes 130Cd and 131In Friday, 1 June 2018 18:30 (1 hour)

Half-lives of N = 82 nuclei below doubly-magic 132Sn are key input parameters for calculations of any astrophysical r-process scenario and play an important role in the formation and shape of the second r-process abundance peak. In the past, shell-model calculations of neutron-rich nuclei near the N = 82 neutron shell closure that are not yet experimentally accessible have been performed by adjusting the quenching of the Gamow-Teller (GT) operator to reproduce the half-life of 130Cd [1]. The calculated half-lives of other nuclei in the region are known to be systematically toolong. Recently, a shorter half-life for 130Cd was reported [2,3]. A re-scaling of the GT quenching to the new 130Cd half-life by a constant factor resolved the discrepancy [2,3]. However, this GT rescaling creates a new discrepancy in the calculated half-life of 131In. The half-life measurement of 131In is complicated due to the presence of three known β-decaying states with similar half-lives, making photopeak gating an ideal method to measure each of these half-lives. In this talk, the half-lives of 130Cd and 131In, as well as the spectroscopy of the β and β −n decay of 131In measured using the GRIFFIN γ-ray spectrometer at TRIUMF will be presented. [1] M.

Searching for the QCD Critical Point Through Fluctuations at RHIC Saturday, 2 June 2018 17:10 (20 minutes)

Fluctuations and correlations of conserved quantities (baryon number, strangeness, and charge) can be used to probe phases of strongly interacting QCD matter and the possible existence ofa critical point in the phase diagram. The cumulants of the multiplicity distributions related to these conserved quantities are expected to be sensitive to possible increased fluctuations near a critical point and their ratios can be directly compared to the ratios of the susceptibilities from Lattice QCD. In this talk, we will present the√ measurements of the cumulants of net-proton multiplicity distributions from Au+Au collisions at sNN = 7.7, 11.5, 14.5, 19.6, 27, 39, 62.4 (up to fourth order) and 200 GeV (up to sixth order) as measured by the STAR experiment at RHIC. Multi-particle correlation functions will also be presented.

The measurement of higher-order cumulants are extremely sensitive to experimental artifacts. Cur- rent efficiency correction methods are based on Binomial models. We will introduce an unfolding technique to account for multiplicity-dependent detector response and efficiency variations using large samples of AMPT events. The comparison of the various correction approaches should provide important guidance towards a reliable experimental determination of the multiplicity cumulants.

Probing Sub-GeV Dark Matter with Superfluid Helium Tuesday, 29 May 2018 17:50 (20 minutes)

We propose a new dark matter detector that will be sensitive to nuclear recoils of sub-GeV dark matter, using superfluid helium as a target. Superfluid helium has many merits as a detector target: these include good kinematic matching to low mass dark matter, excellent intrinsic radiopurity, and its unique ability to be cooled down as a liquid to milli-Kelvin temperatures. We propose to read out the recoil signals by calorimetry based on transition edge sensor readout. Calorimeters submerged in the liquid will measure prompt scintillation photons with near-100% efficiency, while the long- lived rotons and phonon excitations will be detected by quantum evaporation of helium atoms from the liquid surface, into vacuum, and then onto a calorimeter array. The binding energy from helium absorption to the calorimeter surface allows for the amplification of these quantum evaporation signals, allowing sub-eV recoil energy thresholds. Taking into account the relevant backgrounds and detector discrimination power based on the light:heat ratio, sensitivity projections show that a small detector (∼kg scale) can already explore new parameter space.

The exploration of the QCD phase diagram has been one of the main drivers of contemporary nuclear physics. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL is uniquely suited for thistask through its Beam Energy Scan (BES) program which allowed for a large range in baryon chemical potential µB as was successfully demonstrated after the completion of Phase 1 in 2014. Phase2 of the BES at RHIC is scheduled for 2019–2020 and will explore with precision measurements the √ intermediate-to-high µ region of the QCD phase diagram, 5 energies s from 19.6 to 7.7 GeV B √ NN in the collider mode and 8 energies sNN from 7.7 to 3.0 GeV in the fixed-target mode. Some of the key measurements are: the net-protons kurtosis that could pinpoint the position of a critical point, the directed flow that might prove a softening of the EOS, and the chiral restoration in the dielectron channel. These measurements will be possible with an order of magnitude better statistics provided by the electron cooling upgrade of RHIC and with the detector upgrades planned to improve STAR’s acceptance. The talk will review the BES Phase-2 program and the physics opportunities enabled by these upgrades.

Neutron Skins and Neutron Star Properties Tuesday, 29 May 2018 14:40 (20 minutes)

The neutron skin thickness of medium to heavy nuclei provides a fundamental link betweennu- clear structure and neutron star properties via the equation of state of neutron-rich matter. In particular, it is strongly correlated with the pressure of a pure neutron matter which pushes against the surface tension thus allowing a finite nucleus to form a neutron skin. It is precisely thissame pressure that supports a neutron star against gravitational collapse and therefore has a direct influence on the neutron-star radii, moments of inertia, tidal deformabilities, crust-core transition properties, transport properties, particle compositions and nuclear pasta phases. In this talk, I will present an overview of our recently published works on these topics. Notably, I confront the first model-independent experimental neutron skin thickness result obtained by the pioneering Lead Radius Experiment (“PREX”) at the Jefferson Laboratory against the neutron star tidal deforma- bility that was recently measured in the historical first detection of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star merger by the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration. I will also discuss observational implications of the upcoming measurements of the neutron skin thickness by the PREX-II and CREX experiments.

The EMC Effect – New Insights and Future Studies Saturday, 2 June 2018 10:10 (35 minutes)

More than 30 years ago, the European Muon Collaboration provided evidence that quark distributions are modified in nuclei as compared to the free nucleon. The EMC Effect has beenasubject of investigation, both experimentally and theoretically, ever since. To date, there is no universally accepted explanation of the EMC Effect, but recent results have given some exciting clues as toits possible origins.

This presentation will focus on recent measurements of the EMC Effect and the future program of measurements of the nuclear dependence of quark distributions. Some of these measurements aim to explore the EMC Effect via measurements of a number of as-yet unmeasured nuclei, while others will attempt to gain insight via new observables, predicted to have significant nuclear effects that will provide sensitivity to particular models of the EMC Effect.

Light-Cone Physics and Large-Momentum Effective Field Theory Saturday, 2 June 2018 11:20 (35 minutes)

In high-energy scattering, the physics of hadrons can be described by various light-cone correlation functions, which include parton distributions, generalized parton distributions, distribution amplitudes, as well as the so-called light-cone wave functions. Because of their explicit time- dependence, these quantities cannot be calculated directly from QCD using Monte Carlo simulations. For years, theorists have resorted to analytical approaches such as light-cone quantization, with little success. In this talk, I will introduce large-momentum effective field theory asanovelap- proach to extract light-cone correlation functions from Euclidean observables calculable in lattice QCD. Some of recent successful examples are discussed, including the gluon helicity contribution to the proton spin and isovector parton densities.

The planned next generation Enriched Xenon Observatory (nEXO) experiment is aiming tosearch for the neutrino-less double beta (0νββ) decay from 136Xe. nEXO has a sensitivity in the order 28 136 of 10 years on the half-life (T1/2) of 0νββ decay from Xe after 10 years’ running, entirely covering the inverted mass hierarchy region. The nEXO detector is a time projection chamber (TPC). It has a cylindrical shape with a diameter of ∼1.3 m and a drift length of ∼1.2 m containing 5 tonnes of liquid xenon enriched to 90% (136Xe). nEXO will use modular metal pads deposited on a quartz substrate to readout the ionisation signal and provide the spatial information of the event. nEXO will be implemented with ∼4 m2 silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) to collect the scintillation light in addition to the charge signal. Combining both charge and light signals, nEXO aims to have an energy resolution of 1% at the Q-value of the double beta decay from 136Xe. In this talk, both the physics potential of nEXO and various R&D outcomes will be presented.

Jet Measurements in Heavy Ion Collisions Friday, 1 June 2018 16:10 (30 minutes)

The Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) is created in high energy heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This medium is transparent to electromagnetic probes but nearly opaque to colored probes. Hard partons produced early in the collision fragment and hadronize into a collimated spray of particles called a jet. The partons lose energy as they traverse the medium, a process called jet quenching. Most of the lost energy is still correlated with the parent parton, contributing to particle production at larger angles and lower momenta relative to the parent parton than in proton-proton collisions. This partonic energy loss can be measured through several observables, each of which give different insights into the degree and mechanism of energy loss. The measurements to date are summarized and the path forward is discussed.

Physics from the Gravitational and Electromagnetic Waves of a Neutron Star Merger Saturday, 2 June 2018 15:10 (35 minutes)

The recent detection of gravitational waves and associated electromagnetic emission from abi- nary neutron star merger has illuminated the physics of strong gravity and dense matter, and addressed long standing questions as to the origin of the heaviest elements in the universe. I will review our physical understanding of compact object mergers — grounded in theoretical calculations and numerical simulations — and will describe how observations of gravitational waves, high energy photons, and radioactively powered optical emission have important physical implications, including constraints on the speed of gravity, the expansion rate of the universe, the equation of state of nuclear matter, and the nucleosynthesis of the heavy elements. I’ll highlight the successes and limitations of models of neutron star mergers, and anticipate what we may see and learn in a hopeful future of numerous, diverse joint gravitational + electromagnetic wave detections.

Results and Plans for the PICO Dark Matter Bubble Chamber Thursday, 31 May 2018 16:50 (20 minutes)

This talk will present the current status of the PICO dark matter experimental program. ThePICO detectors are based on the bubble chamber technology and record potential interactions of WIMPs in the target fluid through phase transitions induced by the energy depositions of recoiling nuclei. The technique is complementary to other dark matter search methods and has lead to recentworld- leading results for spin-dependent WIMP interactions. The current state of the results from PICO operations will be presented, as well as an update on the status and prognosis for the new detector configuration PICO-40, currently being installed at SNOLAB. The future prospects for a tonnescale “PICO-500” will also be described.

Heavy Flavor Jet Quenching at RHIC and LHC Energies Friday, 1 June 2018 17:50 (20 minutes)

Heavy quarks serve as valuable probes of the QGP properties as well as the mass hierarchy of parton energy loss. In this talk, different model calculations of heavy quark energy loss inside the QGP are compared to each other within the same framework, from which we narrow down the systematical uncertainty of the extracted heavy quark transport coefficients from model to data comparison. In addition, a multi-stage evolution approach is introduced to heavy quark energy loss. This combines a rare-scattering multiple emission formalism at momenta large comparedto the mass of heavy quarks and a single scattering induced emission formalism at momenta comparable to the mass. This new approach reduces the difference of energy loss between charmand beauty quarks and simultaneously describes the nuclear modification of D and B mesons.

Demonstration of Single Barium Ion Sensitivity for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Using Single Molecule Fluorescent Imaging Thursday, 31 May 2018 14:20 (20 minutes)

A new method to tag the barium daughter in the double beta decay of 136Xe is described, based on adaptation of the single molecule fluorescent imaging (SMFI) technique. Individual barium dications chelated on a transparent plate are detected at a significance of 12.9 σ, with a spatial resolution of 2 nm rms. Observation of a single-step photo-bleach transition confirms the interpretation of single ion sensitivity. This result is the first step toward an essentially background-free technique in the search for neutrino-less double beta decay in 136Xe, based on robust event discrimination by SMFI in a high-pressure xenon gas TPC.

Lattice QCD for Hadronic Parity Violation Saturday, 2 June 2018 17:30 (20 minutes)

The parity violating neutral current is the least well understood of all currents in theStandard Model. At low energies, these weak interactions manifest as short distance, 4-fermion operators. Unlike their flavor-changing charged counterparts, which are easy to detect experimentally, the neutral current interactions exist in the background of the strong interactions with a typical 2 ∼ −7 ∼ strength of GF Fπ 10 , where Fπ 92 MeV is the pion decay constant, a typical hadronic scale. Therefore, despite major efforts, there are very few measurements of the hadronic neutral weak interaction. Lattice QCD is a non-perturbative regulator for QCD, the fundamental theory of strong interactions, and provides a rigorous tool with which to compute the strength of the hadronic neutral current in the simplest hadronic and nuclear systems. I will describe a long-term effort aimed at understanding hadronic parity violation from QCD. One of the simplest systems to use lattice QCD for, the iso-tensor hadronic parity violating NN amplitude, is one ofthemost promising for shedding light on our current understanding. I will motivate the need and application of lattice QCD for understanding hadronic parity violation from the Standard Modeland highlight related lattice QCD results.

In a recent pair of Nature papers, Bowman et al. claimed a detection of an anomalously low 21 cm brightness temperature at a redshift of 17, and Barkana interpreted this as evidence ofcold dark matter that was scattering with baryons at that cosmic epoch. In this talk, Iwilldiscuss constraints available in the particle physics literature, and future directions for particle, astro, and nuclear physics in the wake of the EDGES observation. A number of independent groups have found that cosmological constraints limit only a subdominant fraction of the dark matter particles to be able to participate in this scattering, and that even this limited scenario is strongly bounded by complementary terrestrial considerations. The prospects for investigating this small remaining region of viable parameter space are discussed in both terrestrial and astrophysical contexts.

Sites of the r-process: supernovae and mergers: Recent Successes and Current Issues Friday, 1 June 2018 16:10 (30 minutes)

Many of the heavy elements in the universe are produced through the rapid capture of neutrons onto iron peak elements, the so-called r-process. Sites for this crucial heavy element production are necessarily extreme and leading proposals invoke conditions at the heart of the engines behind supernovae and gamma-ray bursts. These models include neutrino-driven winds, magnetically- contained winds, magnetically-driven outflows, and disk winds around a collapsed star as well the winds and dynamical ejecta from the merger of two neutron stars or a neutron star and a black hole. Here we review these sites, their successes and problems in an effort to gain a more complete picture of the production of the heavy elements made in the r-process.

The KATRIN Neutrino Mass Measurement: Experiment, Status, and Outlook Tuesday, 29 May 2018 14:00 (20 minutes)

The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment will provide a measurement of the effective electron-neutrino mass, m(νe), based on a precision measurement of the tritium beta decay spectrum near its endpoint. The effective mass is an average of the neutrino mass eigen- 2 statesP mi weighted by the flavor-mass mixing parameters Uei according to the relation m (νe) = 3 | |2 2 i=1 Uei mi . The KATRIN apparatus uses a windowless gas tritium source (WGTS) andaspec- trometer based on the MAC-E-Filter concept to measure the beta energy spectrum. The KATRIN program is designed to reach a mass sensitivity of 0.2 eV (90 % C.L.). The collaboration has completed a series of commissioning measurements and is moving into the first running of tritium.

This talk will provide an overview of the KATRIN apparatus with emphasis on the MAC-E filter. Results from the initial commissioning runs and the status of the initial tritium beta-spectrum measurements will be presented.

ALICE Upgrades for Run3 and Physics Projections Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:10 (20 minutes)

The upcoming upgrade of the CERN LHC is a challenge and opportunity for ALICE (ALargeIon Collider Experiment). By sustaining a Pb–Pb readout rate of 50 kHz, ALICE will gain two orders of magnitude in statistics and conduct high-precision measurements of rare probes at low pT values. ALICE is refitting the Time Projection Chamber with new, GEM-based readout chambers with electronics for continuous readout using the new SAMPA chip. The same chip will be utilized for the upgrade of electronics of the Muon Arm. To improve vertexing and tracking, especially at low pT values, a new Inner Tracking System is being constructed based on ALIPIDE (ALICE Pixel Detector) — a custom designed sensor incorporating the specific requirements imposed by the physics program, including a high-granularity and low material budget of the non-active elements. ALIPIDE is also used by the Muon Forward Tracker intended to add vertexing capabilities to the Muon Spectrometer over a broad range of transverse momenta allowing ALICE to measure beauty down to pT ∼ 0 from displaced J/ψ vertices and to have an improved precision for the ψ(2S) measurement. It will also add high-granularity data to the forward multiplicity information acquired by the new Fast Interaction Trigger. The TOF and TRD will get new readout electronics while PHOS, EMCAL, CPV, and HMPID will improve the readout rates with the existing electronics. The O2 system will offer new computing facility with online tracking and data compression.

Lattice QCD and the Proton Radius Saturday, 2 June 2018 17:50 (20 minutes)

With the continuing discrepancy in experimental measurements of the proton radius, ab initio determination of this quantity from QCD is urgently needed. At present, QCD calculations on a lattice are performed with physical values of light and strange quarks and adequate lattice volumes to permit credible control of systematic errors. One particular obstacle to computing the nucleon charge radius directly is the finite volume of the lattice, in which particle momenta are quantized making the zero-momentum limit difficult. New lattice methods have to be designed specifically to study the small-momentum nucleon structure on a lattice. I will overview the methodology and summarize the current status and future outlook for lattice QCD calculations of the nucleon charge radius.

EDMs: Theory Overview Tuesday, 29 May 2018 16:10 (20 minutes)

Electric dipole moments (EDMs) are extremely sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). A vibrant experimental program is in place, with the goal of improving existing bounds on the electron and neutron EDMs by one/two orders of magnitude, while testing new ideas for the measurement of EDMs of light ions, such as the proton and the deuteron, at a comparable level. The success of this program, and its implications for physics beyond the SM, relieson the precise calculation of the EDMs in terms of the couplings of CP-violating operators, induced by BSM physics in the QCD Lagrangian. In light of the non-perturbative nature of both QCD at low energy and of the nuclear interactions, these calculations have proven difficult, and are affected by large theoretical uncertainties. In this talk I will review the progress that has been achieved on different aspects of the calculation of hadronic and nuclear EDMs, the challenges that remainto be faced, and the implications for our understanding of physics beyond the SM.

Nuclear Anapole Moments Saturday, 2 June 2018 17:50 (20 minutes)

Purely hadronic weak interactions inside a nucleus produce a toroidal current distribution around the axis of nuclear spin. This distribution, known as the nuclear anapole moment, produces alocal magnetic field that couples to the spin of a penetrating electron. This in turn gives rise toanuclear spin-dependent parity-violating (NSD-PV) electron-nucleus interaction. We study NSD-PV effects using diatomic molecules, where the signal can be dramatically amplified due to near-degeneracies of opposite parity hyperfine/rotation levels. We recently demonstrated unprecedented experimental sensitivity to NSD-PV interactions in the test system 138Ba19F, where the effect is known to be vanishingly small. Our results indicate control over systematic errors at a level below the statistical uncertainty. We discuss plans to measure NSD-PV using 137BaF at similar sensitivity. This will yield the first measurement of a nuclear anapole moment for an odd-neutron nucleus, and provide novel information on hadronic PV interactions. Anticipated future improvements should enable measurements of anapole moments of light nuclei, where the nuclear structure calculations needed to interpret anapole moments in terms of hadronic weak interaction parameters are increasingly reliable.

Hadronic Parity Violation and the Large-Nc Expansion Saturday, 2 June 2018 16:10 (30 minutes)

Parity-violating quark-quark interactions are well understood within the Standard Model, but their manifestation at the hadronic level is complicated by nonperturbative QCD effects. While different parameterizations of parity-violating nucleon-nucleon interactions exist, very little is known about the corresponding couplings. The application of the large-Nc expansion to parity-violating nucleon-nucleon interactions provides theoretical constraints on the size of the couplings. This analysis establishes a hierarchy of terms that can be mapped onto parity-violating potentials. This hierarchy implies relations between couplings and helps to delineate the terms that should be most important in phenomenological applications.

Hadronic Matrix Elements for Muon g–2 in Lattice QCD Wednesday, 30 May 2018 15:00 (20 minutes)

The muon anomalous magnetic moment is a subject of intense focus for theoretical and experimental particle physics at this time. This quantity is especially sensitive to new physics, so the current tension with Standard Model predictions makes the anomalous magnetic moment especially exciting. The muon g − 2 can be measured with high precision, and predictions from theory must be similarly precise to be informative. However, some pieces of the theory prediction that include hadronic matrix elements are difficult or impractical to determine experimentally, and predictions from models lack robustly quantitative statements about the uncertainty. To circumvent this issue, these hadronic matrix elements may be determined precisely with lattice QCD. In this talk, I will give an overview of recent developments in lattice QCD to address the hadronic matrix elements, including the hadronic light-by-light (HLbL) and hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) diagrams. With these improvements to the theory, it will be possible to match the expected experimental precision in time for the completion of the Fermilab g − 2 experiment.

High Q2 Elastic Form Factor Program at Jefferson Lab Thursday, 31 May 2018 14:40 (30 minutes)

The electromagnetic form factors (EMFFs) of the nucleon, measured in elastic electron-nucleon scattering, are among the simplest and most well-defined measurable dynamical properties ofthe nucleon, and serve as important benchmarks for the testing of theoretical models and ab initio lattice QCD calculations of nucleon structure. They also provide stringent, model-independent constraints on the extraction of Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs), particularly at large values of the momentum transfer Q2. Precise knowledge of the EMFFs over a wide Q2 range is also essential to the interpretation of many other experiments in nuclear and particle physics. In the last two decades, the use of polarization observables has dramatically increased our knowledge of the nucleon EMFFs at large Q2 values. Such measurements are presently a unique worldwide capability of Jefferson Lab’s Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF). In this talk, I will present the near-future program of high-Q2 nucleon EMFF measurements at CEBAF, ex- ploiting the recently-completed upgrade of CEBAF to a maximum beam energy of 11 GeV (for electron-beam experiments), and the complementary capabilities of experimental Halls A, B, and C. Central to this program is the new Super BigBite Spectrometer (SBS), which is specifically designed to enable the high-Q2 EMFF program. Time permitting, I will also discuss prospects for higher-Q2 EMFF measurements at a future polarized electron-ion collider (EIC).

Status of the Storage Ring Proton EDM Experiment Tuesday, 29 May 2018 17:10 (20 minutes)

Charged particle EDM experiments can be done with high sensitivity using storage rings. Radial electric fields bend a longitudinally polarized beam for storage while at the same time couplewith the particle EDM. Having the so-called magic momentum, the spin precession in the horizontal plane can be frozen. Still, the spin can make a precession in the vertical plane with a rate propor- tional to the magnitude of the EDM (dp).

We have a preliminary ring design to make the proton EDM experiment with a sensitivity of −29 dp = 10 e·cm. The EDM signal corresponds to a few nrad/s of spin precession rateinthe vertical plane. There are several spin and electromagnetic field configurations that can leadtoa false EDM signal of the same order, like a net radial magnetic field and/or vertical electric field depending on the details of the ring lattice. This talk summarizes the ring design with afocuson the systematic errors.

Precision Measurements with Di-Bosons at the LHC Tuesday, 29 May 2018 17:45 (25 minutes)

Precision measurements at the LHC can provide probes of new physics, and they are complementary to direct searches. The high energy distribution of di-boson processes (W W, W Z, V h) is a promising place, with the possibility of significant improvement in sensitivity as the data accumu- lates. We focus on the semi-leptonic final states, and make projections of the reach for future runs of the LHC with integrated luminosities of 300 fb−1 and 3 ab−1. We emphasize the importance of tagging the polarization of the vector bosons, in particular for the WW and WZ channels. We employ a combination of kinematical distributions of both the W and Z, and their decay products to select the longitudinally polarized W and Z. We have also included our projections for the reach using the associated production of vector bosons and the Higgs. We demonstrate that di-boson measurements in the semi-leptonic channel can surpass the sensitivity of the precision measurement at LEP, and they can be significantly more sensitive than the HL-LHC h → Zγ measurements. We have also considered the reaches on the new physics mass scale in different new physics scenarios, including the Strongly Interacting-Light Higgs (SILH), the Strongly Coupled Multi-pole Interaction (Remedios), and the class of models with partially composite fermions.

Resonance Search for a Heavy Photon with the Heavy Photon Search Experiment Wednesday, 30 May 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

The Heavy Photon Search (HPS) experiment at Jefferson Lab is searching for a hypothetical new / U(1) vector boson (”heavy photon”, “dark photon” or A ) in the mass range of 20–500 MeV/c2. / An A in this mass region is natural in hidden sector models of light, thermal dark matter. The / A couples to the ordinary photon through kinetic mixing, which induces its coupling to electric charge. Since heavy photons couple to electrons, they can be produced through a process analogous to bremsstrahlung, subsequently decaying to an e+e−, which can be observed as a narrow resonance above the dominant QED trident background. For suitably small couplings, heavy photons travel detectable distances before decaying, providing a second signature. Using the CEBAF electron beam, located at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, incident onathin tungsten target, along with a compact, large acceptance forward spectrometer consisting of a silicon vertex tracker and lead tungstate electromagnetic calorimeter, HPS can access unexplored regions in the mass-coupling parameter space.

HPS conducted successful engineering runs in 2015 using a 1.056 GeV, 50 nA beam and 2016 using a 2.3 GeV, 200 nA beam. This talk will present the results of a resonance search for a heavy photon using the 1165 nb−1 (7.29 mC) of data collected during the 2015 engineering run.

Initial Dark Matter Results from the SuperCDMS Single-Charge Sensitive Detectors Thursday, 31 May 2018 14:20 (20 minutes)

Astronomical evidence over the past several decades points to a Universe composed primarily of Dark Matter. There are several competing hypotheses about the composition and the interaction mechanisms of Dark Matter. Several groups have assembled instruments to test these ideasby searching for the hypothesized interaction, but despite their best efforts no direct detection has been confirmed to date. The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) SNOLAB experiment is the successor to SuperCDMS Soudan and CDMS II experiments, which for the past two decades focused on the direct detection of dark matter particles. Currently, the next generation of high-resolution SuperCDMS HV detectors are being developed and recently a 0.93 g prototype with a charge resolution of 0.1 electron-hole pairs (CDMS HVeV) was produced. A 0.49-gram day exposure with minimal overburden was taken using the CDMS HVeV detector. The first limits on inelastic electron scattering dark matter and dark photon absorption are presented. Thelimits for the dark matter-standard model particle interaction significantly improve experimental constraints on dark matter particles with masses as low as 1 MeV. These results demonstrate thescien- tific potential of phonon-mediated semiconductor detectors that are sensitive to single electronic excitations.

The Nucleon Axial Form Factor from Quantum Chromodynamics Thursday, 31 May 2018 16:40 (30 minutes)

The nucleon axial form factor is needed to calculate the cross-section of neutrino interactions with nuclei. Due to lack of data on neutrino scattering off protons, one has to model the effect ofnuclear interactions to extract it from neutrino scattering data off heavier nuclei. It is also being calculated from first principles analysis of QCD using large scale simulations of lattice QCD. By comparing the phenomenological and lattice QCD form factors, one can help constrain the modeling ofnuclear effects. This talk will summarize the status of lattice QCD calculations and discuss thechallenges and prospects for high precision results.

CEvNS Observation at the SNS with the COHERENT Experiment Thursday, 31 May 2018 15:00 (20 minutes)

The process of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) predicted more than 40years ago eluded detection for a long time despite having the largest cross-section for low-energy neutrino interactions. This is largely because CEvNS detection requires sensitivity to low-energy nuclear recoils in a potentially high-background environment. The COHERENT collaboration is de- ploying a suite of low-energy detectors in a low-background corridor of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to test the N 2-dependence of CEνNS with different nuclear targets and detector technologies. The first observation of CEvNS ata6.7σ confidence level was recently made by the COHERENT experiment with a 14.6 kg CsI[Na] detector. The result is in agreement with the Standard Model prediction and already improves constraints on non-standard neutrino interactions. In addition, COHERENT has a 185 kg NaI[Tl] scintillating crystal array and an about 22 kg LAr detector to provide results on CEvNS from a light nucleus where nuclear form factors are close to unity. Planning is ongoing for a 10 kg PPC HPGe to be deployed in the near future. The recent observation of CEvNS at SNS, an overview of the COHERENT experiment, and a survey of the future experimental program will be presented.

Searching for New Forces with Dark Light Wednesday, 30 May 2018 17:50 (20 minutes)

Cosmic motivations and anomalies in precision measurements have encouraged standard model extensions in the form of Dark Photons or, more generically, a new force-carrier. Existing experimental searches for such particles have probed the majority of the parameter space of simple models, but so far no culprit has been found and the standard-model anomalies remain unexplained.

The recent report of anomalous correlations in 8Be transitions has heightened interest in a potential new particle near 17 MeV. Although this region has been partially explored via hadronic production mechanisms, a particle with proto-phobic couplings is more effectively probed using leptonic production. The DarkLight experiment proposes to search for this particle in the invariant mass spectrum of e+e− pairs produced in electron-nuclear scattering. I will give an overview of the staged approach we have taken, including recent tests at the LERF facility at JLab and designs for a future large-acceptance detector, and also our near-term proposal to install a spectrometer pair at the CEBAF Injector to search for this signal in an intensity regime where backgrounds from accidental coincidence dominate.

Cosmology with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:10 (30 minutes)

Full-sky Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature data from the Planck satellite tightly constrains the six ΛCDM parameters, reinforcing the success of the current model in describing the CMB sky. However, more precise cosmological measurements show tensions between the high- redshift and low-redshift probes, with a discrepancy in the value of the Hubble constant, H0, at a significance higher than 3σ. Although these results could suggest a failure of the present model, the accuracy of the current measurements has been questioned.

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) is currently mapping forty percent of the CMBskyat high resolution. In this talk, I will show how such a unique dataset will allow us to investigate the current tensions. I will highlight the complementarity of a high-resolution experiment also capable to extract high- fidelity information from the polarization of the CMB. I will conclude with future prospects for the next generation CMB experiments.

Precision Atomic Tests of Physics Beyond the Standard Model Thursday, 31 May 2018 16:10 (30 minutes)

We will give an overview of atomic precision measurements as tests of physics beyond the Stan- dard Model, such as searches for “fifth forces”, tests of fundamental symmetries with clocks, and searches for an electric dipole moment of the electron. In particular, measurements of the fine structure constant α use methods from across sub-fields and are thus powerful tests of the consistency of theory and experiment in physics. Using the recoil frequency of cesium-133 atoms in a matter-wave interferometer, we report the most accurate measurement, α = 1/137.035999046(27), at 2.0 × 10−10 accuracy. Comparison with Penning-trap measurements of the electron gyromag- netic anomaly g − 2 via the Standard Model is now limited by the uncertainty in g − 2; a 2.5-sigma tension has implications for dark sector candidates and electron substructure may be a sign of physics beyond the Standard Model that warrants further investigation.

Using Photon-Jet Analyses to Probe the QGP Friday, 1 June 2018 17:10 (20 minutes)

RHIC at Brookhaven National Laboratory has been providing high energy heavy-ion collisions since the year 2000. Hard probes are often analyzed to study the properties of the matter created in heavy-ion collisions, by comparing the measurements to those in p + p collisions. Direct photons, those produced during the collision rather than from decays of hadrons, are particularly interesting because they do not interact strongly and thus are not affected significantly by the medium. With the photon energy as a good approximation for the initial energy of the recoil parton (before interaction with the medium), the study of direct-photon-triggered away-side jets can give information about the energy loss of the recoil parton while traversing through the medium. In addition, it is useful to compare the suppression of jet-associated yields for direct-photon and neutral-pion triggers, in order to analyze the path-length and color-factor dependence of parton energy loss. Correlation measurements of direct-photon+hadron and neutral-pion+hadron will be presented and discussed. The status of an analysis of neutral-triggered reconstructed jets will also be discussed.

The SNO+ experiment, located in SNOLAB, 2 kilometers underground in the Creighton mine,near Sudbury, Canada, is a large scale neutrino detector whose main purpose is to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay and thus probe the Majorana nature of the neutrino. With 780 tons of liquid scintillator loaded with tellurium, SNO+ aims at exploring the Majorana neutrino mass parameter space down to the inverted mass hierarchy region. The versatility of the SNO+ detector also allows it to detect solar and reactor neutrinos, provide a measurement of the geoneutrino flux, detect galactic core-collapse supernovae and perform nucleon decay searches. The SNO+ experiment is currently taking data with a detector fully filled with ultrapure water. The detector will be completely filled with liquid scintillator in the coming months and subsequently loaded with tellurium. This presentation will describe the physics case, detector design and current statusof SNO+.

LUX Sensitivity to Effective Field Theory Interactions Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:30 (20 minutes)

The past two decades have seen a tremendous increase in the sensitivity of direct detectionex- periments. In the absence of a definitive dark matter detection, the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) campaign (which ran underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility from 2013 to 2016) has worked to constrain a far broader set of dark matter interactions than the spin-independent and spin-dependent results that are typically reported. Here we review a non- relativistic effective field theory framework that describes a rich set of momentum-and-velocity dependent dark matter-nucleon interactions in a model-independent way. We comment oncom- plementarity between experimental targets and techniques. Finally, we discuss LUX’s sensitivity to this class of interactions both in isolation and in the case of interference between interactions.

Recent Results from the Axion Dark Matter Experiment (ADMX) Tuesday, 29 May 2018 16:30 (20 minutes)

The nature of dark matter is one of the great mysteries of modern physics today and islikely new particles beyond the Standard Model. The Axion, originally conceived as a solution tothe strong-CP problem in nuclear physics, is one well-motivated candidate. The Axion Dark Matter Experiment (ADMX) was started at LLNL in the mid-1990s and ran until 2010 before it was moved to the U. of Washington where it is now a DOE Gen 2 project. ADMX uses a large microwave cavity immersed in a strong static magnetic field to resonantly convert dark matter axions to detectable photons. Recently ADMX has completed its first data run with unprecedented sensitivity inthe classical QCD-axion mass range of several µeV. In this talk I will describe the history of axion dark matter searches, describe the recent ADMX results, and give a survey of the R&D efforts currently underway to explore the entire axion dark matter mass window.

We know neutrinos have mass, but we don’t know how they get their masses. Many models augment the Standard Model with right-handed neutrinos, either Dirac or Majorana, to generate the neutrino masses. I will show that in R-symmetric supersymmetric models, the bino and its Dirac partner the singlino can play the role of right-handed neutrinos. In this mechanism the neutrino masses are generated in a very simple fashion. I will discuss interesting signatures of this model at high energy colliders.

Weakly Bound Neutron-Rich Nuclei and Cosmic Phenomena Friday, 1 June 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

Understanding the limits of existence of nuclei is an open problem in fundamental science. Lack of understanding of the nucleon-nucleon interaction in nuclei with unusual neutron to proton ratio is one of the main reasons. Thus it is an urgent problem to find out the missing link ofunified theory by studying single particle and bulk properties of the nuclei with large neutron proton asymmetry. The shell gaps at magic numbers are the characteristics of a mean nuclear field.The unambiguous information on detailed components of the ground-state wave-function along with quantum numbers of the valence neutron of the nuclei can be obtained from the measurement of threshold strength along with the γ-ray spectra following Coulomb breakup. The shape of this threshold strength is a finger-print of the quantum numbers of the nucleon. We investigated the ground-state properties of neutron-rich Na, Mg, Al nuclei around N ∼ 20 using this method at GSI, Darmstadt. Very clear evidences have been observed for melting and merging of long cherished magic shell gaps at N = 20, 28. The nuclei around the drip-line are short-lived but surprisingly, evanescent rare isotopes imprint their existence in stellar explosive scenarios (r-process etc.). Due to their fleeting existence, indirect measurements are often the only possible access to theinfor- mation which is a valuable input to the model for star evaluation process. Some valuable bulk properties of the neutron-rich nuclei play a key role in understanding cosmic phenomena. I shall discuss in this presentation our achievements related to the above mentioned facts.

Prospects for New Atomic Parity Violation Experiments Friday, 1 June 2018 14:40 (20 minutes)

Low-energy precision tests of electro-weak physics keep playing an essential role in the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. Atomic parity violation (APV) experiments measure the strength of highly forbidden atomic transitions induced by the exchange of Z bosons between electrons and quarks in heavy atoms. APV is sensitive to additional interactions such as leptoquarks, and provides complementary sensitivity to weak, parity-violating electron-quark couplings relative to parity-violating electron scattering. Our group is working towards a measurement in francium, the heaviest alkali, where the APV signal is about 18 times larger than in cesium. Since francium has no stable isotopes, we have established an online laser trap at the ISAC radioactive beam facility at TRIUMF that can confine millions of cold francium atoms at micro-Kelvin temperatures in a volume of approximately 1 cubic mm, an ideal environment for precision spectroscopy. I will report on our first observation of the E1-forbidden 7s–8s transition, and discuss the prospects for improved APV measurements in francium and in general.

The Higgs pair production in gluon fusion is a sensitive probe of Beyond-Standard Model(BSM) phenomena and its detection is a major goal for the LHC and higher energy hadron collider experiments. We reanalyze the possible modifications of the Higgs pair production cross section within low energy supersymmetry models allowed by the current LHC search bounds, where we analyze the combined effects of a modification of the Higgs trilinear and top-quark Yukawa couplings on the di-Higgs production rate in presence of stops. We also explore the implications of such modification of the cross-section in the context of discovering the deviation in the triple Higgs coupling from the SM value, which is correlated with First order phase transitions of the scalar potential in many models, e.g. NMSSM.

Hadron Production Measurements for Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiments with NA61/SHINE Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:50 (20 minutes)

A precise prediction of the neutrino flux is a key ingredient for achieving the physics goalsof long-baseline neutrino experiments. In modern accelerator-based neutrino experiments, neutrino beams are created from the decays of secondary hadrons produced in hadron-nucleus interactions. Hadron production is the leading systematic uncertainty source on the neutrino flux prediction; therefore, its precise measurement is essential. The NA61/SPS Heavy Ion and Neutrino Experiment (NA61/SHINE) is a fixed-target experiment at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron, which studies hadron production in hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions for various physics goals. For neutrino physics, light hadron beams (protons, pions, and kaons) are collided with a light nuclear target (carbon, aluminum, and beryl- lium) and spectra of outgoing hadrons are measured.

This talk will review the recent results and ongoing hadron production measurements in NA61/SHINE for the precise neutrino flux predictions in the T2K and Fermilab long-baseline neutrino experiments. For the T2K experiment, the interactions of 31 GeV/c proton beams on a thin carbon or a replica of the T2K 90 cm-long carbon target were measured and these measurements have significantly reduced T2K’s neutrino flux uncertainty. For the Fermilab long-baseline neutrino beamlines (NuMI and LBNF), measurements are currently ongoing for 60–120 GeV proton, pion, and kaon beams on various nuclear targets. This talk will also discuss the prospects for future hadron production measurements with NA61/SHINE beyond 2020, after the Long Shutdown 2 of the accelerator complex at CERN.

Latest Results of the Double Chooz Experiment Wednesday, 30 May 2018 14:30 (30 minutes)

Double Chooz is a reactor neutrino disappearance experiment with the purpose of a precise measurement of the neutrino mixing angle θ13. The experimental set-up consists of two identical liquid scintillator detectors, one at a longer baseline of about 1 km since 2011 and a closer one with a distance of about 400 m since 2014. This double-detector set-up with an essential iso-flux configuration allows one to fit the far detector data to the near detector data without relyingon the reactor neutrino flux predictions, where systematic uncertainties are suppressed to permill levels. Statistical uncertainties are reduced by adding the delayed signal of the Hydrogen neutron capture in addition to Gadolinium, which yields an increase of more than a factor two in statistics. By performing a global fit of the energy dependent neutrino rates and shapes in both detectors simultaneously, the neutrino mixing angle θ13 can be obtained. The latest results of the Double Chooz collaboration are presented in this talk.

Solar and Supernova Neutrino Detection in the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment Tuesday, 29 May 2018 15:00 (20 minutes)

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an upcoming experiment dedicated tothe study of neutrino oscillation physics, nucleon decay, and supernova neutrinos. Understanding the physics of how massive stars die will lead to a better understanding of the creation of elements, properties of neutrinos, and constraints on beyond-the-Standard-Model physics. Neutrinos carry a majority of the core-collapse energy; thus, these neutrinos provide crucial information about the supernova. Solar and supernova neutrinos have much lower energies (few to 10s of MeV energy range) than those studied in the rest of DUNE’s physics program. In order to extract as much information about our sun or a future supernova as possible, the DUNE collaboration has initiated various Monte Carlo simulation studies to study detector response and reconstruction ability, in order to optimize the DUNE neutrino detectors for low-energy physics. These studies improve expectations for solar and supernova neutrinos, advance the low-energy neutrino physics field, and prepare the DUNE detectors to detect these neutrinos under the most optimal circumstances.

Measurement of Hadronic Cross Sections at BESIII Wednesday, 30 May 2018 15:20 (20 minutes)

The uncertainties of the Standard Model prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment ofthe muon are currently completely dominated by hadronic contributions. The largest contribution is due to the hadronic vacuum polarization. Hadronic cross sections measured at e+e− colliders can be exploited as experimental input to improve the calculations, making use of the optical theorem. At the BESIII experiment in Beijing these cross sections are determined using different methods. At center-of-mass energies above 2 GeV, exclusive and inclusive cross sections can be measured in an energy scan. Additionally, cross sections can be determined starting from the π+π− mass threshold using the method of Initial State Radiation. This presentation will give an overview of the recent results and the current status of the analyses.

The Cosmic Origin of the Heavy Elements: Implications from the Neutron Star Merger GW170817 Wednesday, 30 May 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

The recent detection of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 by LIGO and Virgo wasfol- lowed by a firework of electromagnetic counterparts across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. In particular, the ultraviolet, optical, and near-infrared emission is consistent with a kilonova that provided strong evidence for the formation of heavy elements in the merger ejecta by the rapid neutron capture process (r-process). In this talk, I will discuss our current understanding of how kilonovae are produced by neutron star mergers and how r-process nucleosynthesis in these outflows can explain the cosmic origin of the heavy elements in the universe, which hasbeenan enduring mystery for more than 70 years.

b-Jet Tagging Performance with ALICE Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:50 (20 minutes)

The ALICE experiment is dedicated to investigate properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP)created in high-energy Pb–Pb collisions at the LHC. Heavy quarks (charm and beauty) are a unique tool to study and characterise the QGP properties. They are produced in the early stage ofthe heavy-ion collisions and traverse the hot and dense medium losing energy due to collisional and radiative processes that are predicted to be dependent on the colour charge and mass of the hard- scattered parton. Measurement of the beauty-jet (b-jet) production gives a direct access to the initial parton kinematics. It can provide further constraints for heavy-quark energy loss models and allows accessing a possible modification of the b-quark fragmentation in the medium. Stud- ies of b-jets in pp and p–Pb collisions are the necessary reference for interpreting the heavy-ion collision results.

In this talk, we will present performance studies for the b-jet tagging in pp and p–Pb collisions with the ALICE detector. The b-jet identification exploits the long lifetime and the relatively large mass of the B hadrons. We will discuss b-jet tagging algorithms based on single tracks and on the displaced secondary vertex topology, including a very promising deep learning based b-jet tagging approach.

Measurement of Transition Form Factors at BESIII Friday, 1 June 2018 17:35 (25 minutes)

The two-photon physics program of the BESIII Collaboration is mainly motivated by thelarge uncertainty of the contribution of hadronic light-by-light scattering (hLBL) to the Standard Model calculations of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon aµ. Here, electromagnetic transition form factors (TFF) can serve as experimental input to improve the calculations. Data acquired with the BESIII detector at center of mass energies from 3.77 to 4.6 GeV allow one to study the momentum dependence of TFFs of light mesons. The measurements are performed with a single- tag technique and indicate an unprecedented accuracy at momentum transfers below 3 GeV2, the region of highest importance for the calculations of aµ. In addition to the single pseudoscalar mesons π0, η and η/ , the ππ system is studied. The information is not only vital as input tothe recently developed dispersive approaches to the hLBL calculations, but allows one to investigate TFFs of scalar and tensor resonances, and can provide further insights on the pion polarizabilities, as well as pion rescattering effects. Making use of the large statistics collected at BESIII, afirst double-tagged measurement of the pion transition form factor has been started. It is the first step towards a model independent parameterization of the TFF of the π0. In this presentation the current status of the program will be discussed.

In view of the proton radius puzzle and the precision currently achieved in extracting the proton radius from muonic Hydrogen spectroscopy, the two-photon exchange (TPE) corrections between the lepton and hadron are at present the largest source of hadronic uncertainty. I present an overview on recent work within a dispersion relation framework to estimate such TPE corrections both in elastic electron-proton and muon-proton scattering as well as in the interpretation ofthe muonic Hydrogen spectroscopy. The results are compared to recent CLAS, VEPP-3 and OLYMPUS data as well as to a full TPE calculation in the near-forward approximation, based on unpolarized structure function input. The next steps in this field will be discussed.

Cold-QCD Physics of the STAR Forward Upgrade Wednesday, 30 May 2018 17:10 (30 minutes)

For almost twenty years, the STAR experiment at RHIC has played a leading role in expanding the frontier of nucleus-nucleus collisions and the interaction of spin-polarized beams of protons. In coming years, the STAR forward upgrade will enable new insight into cold nuclear matter, probing this physics at high and low regions of x. The proposed detector upgrades consist of electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry as well as a charged-particle tracking system, each spanning the pseudorapidity range of 2.5 < η < 4.5. Building upon existing STAR measurements, the upgrade will enable improved and precision measurements of probes such as neutral pions, direct photons, and Drell-Yan. Simultaneously, the upgrade will unlock a suite of new observables, such as charged-particle tagged jets at forward pseudorapidity. These measurements will provide new insights into the multidimensional imaging of quarks and gluons within the nucleon, nuclear parton distributions, and hadronization in a nuclear environment. As such, the STAR forward upgrade will provide information crucial to realizing the full potential of the approaching era of the electron-ion collider.

In the past few years, a program of new experiments has expanded DM searches far beyond the WIMP paradigm to include new hidden forces and matter. In this talk, I will give an overview of dark photon models and of the present and future experimental effort in testing these models at high intensity facilities.

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long-baseline experiment. DUNE will utilize a high-intensity neutrino beam produced at Fermilab and will measure electron-neutrino appearance and muon-neutrino disappearance with its 40 kiloton Liquid Argon far detector at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota, 1300 km from Fermilab. The goals of DUNE are studies of neutrino oscillations, including CP violation and neutrino mass hierarchy determination, and searches for nucleon decays and supernova neutrinos, as well as precision neutrino physics at the near site. The DUNE far detectors are based on liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) technology, which offers an excellent spatial resolution, high neutrino detection efficiency, andsuperb background rejection. Two large DUNE far detector prototypes, in both single phase LArTPC (ProtoDUNE-SP) and dual phase LArTPC (ProtoDUNE-DP) technologies, are under construction and will be operated at the CERN Neutrino Platform (NP) starting in late 2018.

In this talk, we will give an overview of the physics program and current status of the DUNE experiment.

The crucial properties of the QCD vacuum — confinement and chiral symmetry breaking —undergo qualitative changes at sufficiently high temperatures and/or baryon densities. Determining where on the phase diagram and how the transitions between QCD phases are accomplished is the major goal of heavy-ion collision experiments, as well as of theoretical efforts including first- principle lattice calculations. Is there a critical point in QCD separating crossover from thefirst order transition on the boundary between quark-gluon plasma and hadron gas phases? Heavy-ion collision experiments could answer this question by focusing on universal signatures characteristic of critical phenomena.

Studying Lanthanide Production in r-Process Nucleosynthesis Friday, 1 June 2018 17:50 (20 minutes)

The recent observations of the GW170817 electromagnetic counterpart suggest lanthanides were produced in this neutron star merger event. Lanthanide production in heavy element nucleosynthesis is subject to large uncertainties from nuclear physics and astrophysics unknowns. Specif- ically, the rare-earth abundance peak, a feature of enhanced lanthanide production at A ∼ 164 seen in the solar r-process residuals, is not robustly produced in r-process calculations when astrophysical and nuclear physics inputs are varied. One possibility which will be discussed is that the fission fragment distributions of heavy, neutron-rich nuclei dump material directly into thepeak region at late times. Alternatively, the proposed dynamical mechanism of peak formation requires the r-process path to encounter a nuclear physics feature in the rare-earth region which may be within reach of nuclear physics experiments performed at, for example, the CPT at CARIBU and the upcoming FRIB. To maximize what can be learned regarding nucleosynthesis from such precision measurements, we employ Markov Chain Monte Carlo studies to “reverse engineer” the nuclear masses capable of producing a peak compatible with the observed solar r-process abundances given different sets of astrophysical conditions. Here I will present the latest results forthe masses found to produce the rare-earth peak in a low entropy accretion disk wind scenario, and compare directly with recent mass measurements from the CPT at CARIBU. Such collaborative efforts between theory and experiment could soon be in a position to make definitive statements regarding the mechanism of rare-earth peak formation and thus the astrophysical site of the r- process.

Muon Capture as a Probe of the Weak Axial Current Friday, 1 June 2018 15:00 (20 minutes)

Muon capture provides a powerful tool to study the properties and structure of the nucleon and few nucleon systems predicted by chiral effective theories founded on Quantum Chromodynam- ics. Our program focuses on capture from the simplest of all muonic atoms, muonic hydrogen (MuCap experiment) as well as muonic deuterium (MuSun experiment), by using a novel active target method based on the development of high pressure time projection chambers filled with hydrogen/deuterium gas. In this contribution we discuss two applications. Nucleon axial radius and muonic hydrogen. In a recent review [1] the model independent re-evaluation 2 2 [2] of the axial radius squared rA(z exp.) = 0.46(22) fm from νd scattering and the muon capture rate in hydrogen measured in MuCap was used to update the value of the induced pseudoscalar 2 2 form factor gP and, alternatively, to determine an independent rA(MuCap) = 0.46(24) fm from muon capture. MuSun and astrophysics neutrino reaction. The precision measurement of the capture rate for µd → nnν in MuSun will determine a critical low-energy constant in effective field theories, required for the calculation of fundamental astrophysics reactions like solar pp fusion and νd scattering at SNO. Data taking of the experiment was successfully concluded and the analysis is in an advanced state. [1] Richard J Hill et al, Rep. Prog.

Both channels are combined for improved energy resolution and better background rejection. Conventional multivariate analyses have been performed on the first two years of data with one of the most sensitive results on 0νββ decay and data taking in Phase-II is ongoing. Novel approaches of data analysis on the basis of deep learning were implemented and promising first results were achieved towards better reconstruction of events in EXO-200.

What Have We Leant from Quarkonia Production in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions? Saturday, 2 June 2018 17:30 (20 minutes)

Since the pioneering study by Matsui and Satz on J/ψ suppression by quark-gluon plasma formation in relativistic heavy ion collisions, there have been a large number of theoretical and experimental studies on this topic. These studies have significantly enhanced our understanding ofthe properties of J/psi, its excited states, and other quarkonium states consisting of bottom quarks at finite temperature as well as of their production in heavy ion collisions. For example, some quarkonia are shown to survive in a quark-gluon plasma and can also be regenerated from heavy quarks at hadronization during heavy ion collisions. Using the hydrodynamic model for the dynamics of heavy ion collisions, many groups have found that to describe the experimental data on the nuclear modification factors and transverse momentum spectra of quarkonia measured atSPS, RHIC, and the LHC requires the inclusion of the in-medium properties and dissociation cross sections of quarkonia as well as their regeneration at hadronization. Studying quarkonia production in relativistic heavy ion collisions thus allows us to probe their in-medium properties.

Influence of the QCD Equation of State by System Size Thursday, 31 May 2018 14:00 (20 minutes)

A long standing question in the field of heavy-ion collisions is whether charm quarks are thermalized within the Quark Gluon Plasma. In recent years, progress in lattice QCD simulations hasled to reliable results for the equation of state of a system of 2+1 flavors (up, down, and strange) and 2+1+1 flavors (up, down, strange, and charm). We find that the equation of state strongly affects differential flow harmonics and a preference is seen for thermalized√ charm quarks attheLHC. Predictions are also made for the event-plane correlations at RHIC Au–Au sNN = 200 GeV collisions, and the scaling of√ differential flow observables and factorization√ breaking for all charged particles at LHC Pb–Pb sNN = 5.02 TeV collisions compared to LHC Xe–Xe sNN = 5.44 TeV collisions, which could be useful in answering the question: are charm quarks thermalized?

Parton Shower Modification Studied with Jet Substructure in ALICE Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:30 (20 minutes)

The heavy-ion physics program at the LHC aims at characterizing the high energy density,high temperature, deconfined partonic state of matter called Quark-Gluon Plasma. Hard probesare very useful tools to study the QGP properties since they are abundantly produced at the LHC energy regime, via hard scattering processes, and they experience the full evolution of the system, losing energy while passing through it. Eventually, these processes might also modify the parton fragmentation with respect to the vacuum case. Jet measurements in Pb–Pb collisions allow one to study how the energy is lost by the partons that traverse the medium and redistribute it to other particles present in the QGP. Moreover, measurements of the jet substructure can bring insight on possible modifications, induced by the medium, on fragmentation of partons into jets and their virtuality evolution. Jet substructure is probed using jet shape observables, defined as different combinations of information that jets carryat different levels (energy profile, jet constituents distributions, clustering history, …). Themeasure- ment of these observables in pp collisions is also an important test of QCD, to be compared with theoretical calculations and Monte Carlo generators.

A review of recent jet shape measurements performed with the ALICE detector in pp and Pb-Pb collisions will be presented.

In recent years, a wealth of experimental evidence has suggested the presence of novel collectivity in small collision systems such as p–p and p–Pb with high-multiplicity final states. The origin of the observed collectivity is under intense debate, i.e., whether a strongly coupled quark-gluon medium is formed, similar to that in large heavy ion collisions. Latest results at CMS in small systems will be presented. These results will provide new insights in unraveling the nature of collectivity in small but dense QCD systems.

HOBET: The SM as an Effective Theory and its Direct Matching to LQCD Friday, 1 June 2018 14:30 (30 minutes)

The configuration interaction shell model operates in a subset of the complete Hilbert spacedefined by projection operator P. Unless P is very large, an effective theory treatment is required. Histori- cally, the renormalization into P has been done informally, by adding a few physically motivated operators with associated parameters to the matrix elements of a realistic or chiral potential. The parameters are then tuned to reproduce a selected set of observables. While this approach has some success in reproducing the excitation spectrum of nuclei, the contact with the wave function is lost. Also, even if the P spaceD wave function E were the projection of the full wave function, the

evaluation of a bare operator f P OPˆ i between projections of initial and final states would miss longer and shorter range contributions from excluded states defined by Q=1-P and be scaled by the unknown and relatively small fraction of the wave function contained in P.

In this presentation, we describe the formal construction of the shell model as an effective theory along with answers for the renormalization of operators to account for contributions of parts of the wave function outside P and the wave function normalization. The underlying effective interaction can be expressed as an expansion whose LECs can be constrained by observables such as scattering phase shifts and binding energies, or the spectrum of two nucleons in a periodic volume ascomes from LQCD calculations.

The CAPTAIN Program: Status and Plans Thursday, 31 May 2018 17:10 (20 minutes)

The Cryogenic Apparatus for Precision Tests of Argon Interactions with Neutrinos (CAPTAIN) program makes measurements that are crucial for the future DUNE experiment. DUNE aims to study neutrino oscillation phenomena with high precision with long-baseline and atmospheric neutrinos, and the electron-neutrino spectrum from galactic core-collapse supernovae. CAPTAIN addresses challenges with both of these programs by making measurements of the liquid-argon time-projection chamber (LArTPC) response to medium-energy neutrons and by measuring the electron-neutrino on argon cross-section in an energy regime coincident with the neutrino spectrum expected from supernovae. CAPTAIN has deployed Mini-CAPTAIN, a 400-kg instrumented- mass LArTPC, in a neutron beamline at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center that provides neutrons of energies up to 800 MeV. I report the status of the analysis of these measurements and their implications for DUNE’s long-baseline neutrino oscillation program. Next, the 5-ton instrumented-mass CAPTAIN detector will be deployed in a stopped-pion neutrino source. This will constitute the first demonstration that LArTPC’s can measure neutrinos in an energy regime relevant to supernova physics.

How a Future Leptonic Collider Will Indirectly Probe Neutralino Dark Matter Saturday, 2 June 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

We apply the covariant derivative expansion method to integrate out the neutralinos and charginos in the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model. The results are presented as set of pure bosonic dimension-six operators in the Standard Model effective field theory. In global fitting to thepro- posed leptonic collider constraint projections, special phenomenological emphasis is paid to the gaugino mass unification scenario (M2 ≃ 2M1) and anomaly mediation scenario (M1 ≃ 3.3M2). These results show that the precision measurement experiments in future lepton colliders will provide a very useful complementary job in probing the electroweakino sector, in particular, filling the gap of the soft lepton plus the missing ET channel search left by the traditional collider, where the neutralino as the lightest supersymmetric particle is very degenerated with the next-to-lightest chargino/neutralino.

The Short Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Program at Fermilab Wednesday, 30 May 2018 17:10 (20 minutes)

Neutrino Oscillation, i.e., discovery that neutrinos have mass, is perhaps the most striking recent experimental evidence of physics which found a crack in the Standard Model to give us a glimpse of the fundamental underlying theories. The Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program makes useof a trio of LArTPC (Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber) detectors — named the Short-Baseline Near Detector or SBND, MicroBooNE and ICARUS — positioned along Fermilab’s Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB), to address the previously observed short-baseline neutrino anomalies.

LArTPC is a state-of-the-art technology for studying these mysterious particles and building massive neutrino detectors. LArTPCs provide 3D imaging of interaction events with excellent spatial resolution. This scaleable detector technology allows us to make precision measurements ofneu- trino interactions. This talk will give an overview of the current and future short-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments, with a focus on the MicroBooNE experiment, and will discuss the prospects of addressing the short-baseline anomalies in the near future.

Rare Decays Probing Physics Beyond the Standard Model Tuesday, 29 May 2018 14:00 (30 minutes)

The existence of three generations of fundamental fermions gives rise to a wealth of phenomena, such as CP violation and flavour oscillations. Because of various conservation laws, including baryon number, lepton number and charged lepton flavour conservation, many otherwise possible reactions, asymmetries, and decays are prohibited or strongly suppressed. The search for rare decays helps to explore the range of validity of such laws and, once observed, rare decays may guide in identifying possible physics not yet incorporated in the Standard Model. An overview of characteristic searches and typical approaches will be presented.

Update on the Jefferson Lab Hall A Tritium Experiments Wednesday, 30 May 2018 16:40 (30 minutes)

A large body of evidence suggests isospin symmetry plays a key role in the EMC effect, the modification of quark distribution functions in the nuclear medium, as well as short-range correlated pairing between nucleons. Electron scattering experiments that probe the momentum distributions of quarks or of nucleons are limited to nuclei near the valley of stability, in a narrow band of proton-neutron asymmetry, making it difficult to learn about how this asymmetry affects thenu- clear environment. Tritium and helium-3, being highly asymmetric isospin-mirror nuclei, present a special opportunity; by comparing electron scattering from tritium and helium-3, as well asfrom deuterium, isospin symmetry can be exploited to disentangle the u- and d-quark EMC effects and the isospin dependence of short-range correlations. This past spring, a first round of experiments were completed at Jefferson Lab’s Hall A using sealed-cell tritium and helium-3 targets, inorder to look at electron scattering in deep-inelastic and quasi-elastic kinematics. These experiments will offer a one-of-a-kind look at the isospin dependence of the nuclear medium. In this talk,an overview of the three recent Hall A experiments and their physics goals will be presented.

The next stage of the DarkSide program will be a new generation experiment involving a global collaboration from all the current Argon based experiments. DarkSide-20k, based on a 20-tonne fiducial mass TPC with SiPM based photosensors, is designed to have a background well below that from coherent scattering of solar and atmospheric neutrinos. Like its predecessor, DarkSide-20k will behoused at the Gran Sasso (LNGS) underground laboratory, and it is expected to attain a WIMP-nucleon cross section of 10−47 cm2 for a WIMP mass of 1 TeV/c2 in a 5 year run.

The Simons Observatory (SO) will make precision temperature and polarization measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) over angular scales between 1 arcminute and tens of degrees using over 40,000 detectors and sampling frequencies between 27 and 270 GHz. SO will consist of a six-meter-aperture telescope coupled to over 20,000 detectors and an array of half- meter aperture refractive cameras, coupled to an additional 20,000 detectors. The unique combination of large and small apertures in a single CMB observatory will allow us to sample a wide range of angular scales over a common survey area while providing an important stepping stone towards the realization of CMB-Stage IV. CMB-Stage IV is a proposed project that will combine and expand on existing facilities in Chile and Antarctica to reach the ∼500,000 detectors required for the project’s science objectives. SO and CMB-Stage IV will measure fundamental cosmological parameters of our universe, find high-redshift clusters via the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect, constrain properties of neutrinos, and seek signatures of dark matter through gravitational lensing. The complex set of technical and science requirements for these experiments has led to innovative instrumentation solutions which we will discuss. For instance,the SO large aperture telescope will couple to a cryogenic receiver that is 2.4 m in diameter and over 2 m long, creating a number of technical challenges. We will give an overview of the drivers for, and designs of, the SO telescopes and cameras as well as the current status of the project. We will also discuss the current status of CMB-Stage IV and important next steps in the project’s development.

Since its launch in 2012, NuSTAR has opened up a sensitive new view on many energetic astrophysical phenomena, such as supernova explosions, black hole spin measurements and cosmic supermassive black hole accretion history. One of NuSTAR’s main discoveries is that some bright X-ray sources in other galaxies, known as ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs), long believed to be powered by black holes, were in fact powered by neutron stars. Some of these neutron stars were found to be radiating factors of 1,000 greater than the theoretical Eddington limit would allow, confounding theory. I will talk about the NuSTAR telescope, the discovery of neutron-star-powered ULXs, and a recent measurement of the magnetic field strength of one of these sources that has provided clues about how they radiate so powerfully.

The Application of Deep Learning to Event-by-Event Simulations of Relativistic Hydrodynamics Thursday, 31 May 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

The state-of-the-art pattern recognition method in machine learning (deep convolution neuralnet- work) has been used to classify two different phase transitions between normal nuclear matter and hot-dense quark gluon plasma. Large amounts of training data have been prepared by simulating heavy ion collisions with event-by-event relativistic hydrodynamics. High level correlations of particle spectra in transverse momentum and azimuthal angle learned by the neural network are quite robust in deciphering the transition type in the quantum chromodynamics phase diagram. Through this study, we demonstrated that there is a traceable encoder of the phase structure that survives the dynamical evolution and exists in the final snapshot of heavy ion collisions and one can exclusively and effectively decode this information from the highly complex output using machine learning.

PHENIX Results on Collectivity in Small Systems Thursday, 31 May 2018 14:40 (20 minutes)

To answer the question of how small a system can be while still exhibiting collective behavior, the PHENIX experiment has used RHIC’s extraordinary versatility to design a set of experiments con- trolling the initial geometry of the collisions by selecting different colliding species, p/d/3He+Au. In addition, a beam energy scan with d+Au collisions was done to vary the lifetime of the system while keeping the initial geometry constant. In this talk we show PHENIX measurements of elliptic and triangular flow of charged hadrons and elliptic flow of identified hadrons at midrapidity as a function of transverse momentum in p/d/3He+Au collisions at 200 GeV per nucleon center-of-mass energy. Measurements of elliptic flow of charged hadrons in d+Au collisions at 200, 62.4, 39, and 19.6 GeV per nucleon center-of- mass energy will also be presented as a function of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity.

In order to assess the origin of collectivity in the smallest systems, these results are compared with several theoretical models that produce azimuthal particle correlations based on initial and/or final state effects. Hydrodynamical models which include a droplet of quark gluon plasma provide the best simultaneous description of our observations.

Observational limits on the mass of dark matter are weak — they allow the mass of dark matterto be anywhere from 10−22 eV – 1048 GeV. In this talk, I will focus on ultra-light dark matter in the mass range 10−22 eV – 10−5 eV. A number of well motivated dark matter candidates such as axions inhabit this vast parameter space. Even though these candidates emerge from a number of models, there are only four possible experimental signatures of these models: they can drive currents in circuits, lead to spin precession, exert forces on particles, and change the values of fundamental constants. All of these effects can be experimentally probed using precision magnetometry and interferometry.

Searching for Ultra-Heavy Dark Matter Thursday, 31 May 2018 16:10 (20 minutes)

Observational bounds on the mass of dark matter could allow the dark matter to be as heavyas 1048 GeV. Such ultra-heavy dark matter candidates emerge as composite objects produced asa result of significant self-interactions in the dark sector. Detection of this kind of dark matter raises new challenges — the low number density of these particles requires detectors with a large target volume, while the transit of an individual ultra-heavy dark matter particle can lead to significant energy deposition. Leveraging the fact that the transit speed of dark matter is ∼220 km/s, well below relativistic speeds but above terrestrial speeds, we discuss methods to search for ultra-heavy dark matter.

Search for Anomalous Decay of the Free Neutron Using the UCNA Experiment: n → χ + e+ + e− Friday, 1 June 2018 18:30 (1 hour)

The neutron lifetime is currently measured by two different types of experiments: ‘beam’and ‘bottle’. These two measurement techniques havea 4σ discrepancy in measured lifetime. A recent paper proposes to resolve this issue by introducing a dark sector particle, χ, that could offer an alternative decay channel for the neutron. This decay channel could resolve the discrepancy since beam experiments measure final decay products and bottle experiments measure remaining neutron population. The proposed theory allows for an e+e− pair produced in addition to a hypothesized χ. The UCNA (Ultra Cold Neutron Asymmetry) experiment has sensitivity tothis particular decay signature, since it would appear as a mono-energetic peak over a standard β decay spectrum. In this experiment, polarized neutrons decay in a trap and their charged products are guided by a 1 T magnetic field to detectors on either side, thus effectively giving 4π detection coverage. Timing information and energy reconstruction is done on each β decay. We use results from the UCNA experiment’s 2012–2013 dataset to set limits on the branching fraction of this decay channel. In the case of a candidate e+e− pair, the summed reconstructed energy from both sides is used to set limits on the branching ratio of this decay channel, as a function of the mass of the hypothesized χ. We present an overview of the calibration process and the limits on a neutron dark decay channel set by the UCNA experiment.

Precision Timing with the CMS Detector Saturday, 2 June 2018 17:00 (25 minutes)

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) isunder- going an extensive Phase II upgrade program to prepare for the challenging conditions of the High- Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). A new timing layer is designed to measure minimum ionizing particles (MIPs) with a time resolution of ∼30 ps and hermetic coverage up to a pseudo-rapidity of |η| = 3. This MIP Timing Detector (MTD) will consist of a central barrel region based on LYSO:Ce crystals read out with SiPMs and two end-caps instrumented with radiation-tolerant Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs). The precision time information from the MTD will reduce the effects ofthe high levels of pile-up expected at the HL-LHC, and will bring new and unique capabilities to the CMS detector. We present the current status and ongoing R&D of the MTD, including recent test beam results.

Dark Matter Interpretation of the Galactic Center Gamma Ray Excess Friday, 1 June 2018 14:00 (30 minutes)

The Milky Way’s Galactic Center harbors a gamma-ray excess that is a candidate signalofanni- hilating dark matter. Dwarf galaxies remain predominantly dark in their expected commensurate emission. In this talk I will discuss the degree of consistency between these two observations, quantified through a joint likelihood analysis. Doing so will incorporate Milky Way darkmatter halo profile uncertainties, as well as an accounting of diffuse gamma-ray emission uncertainties in dark matter annihilation models for the Galactic Center Extended gamma-ray excess (GCE) detected by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. The preferred range of annihilation rates and masses expands when including these unknowns. Even so, using two recent determinations of the Milky Way halo’s local density leave the GCE preferred region of single-channel dark matter annihilation models to be in strong tension with annihilation searches in combined dwarf galaxy analyses. This joint likelihood analysis allows us to quantify this inconsistency. This analysis allows for testing dark matter annihilation models’ consistency within this combined dataset. As an example, we test a representative inverse Compton sourced self-interacting dark matter model, which is consistent with both the GCE and dwarfs.

Searches for BSM Physics with the CMS Detector Thursday, 31 May 2018 14:30 (30 minutes)

Discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider completed the Standard Model puzzle. However, we still do not know why the Higgs boson is light, what is the makeup of the dark matter, how matter survived in the evolution of the universe, etc. LHC’s treasure-trove ofproton- proton collision data could allow us to better understand the mysteries of the nascent universe and the Higgs mass. The CMS Collaboration has a broad program of searches which target heavy resonances, long-lived particles and other objects predicted by various theoretical models. I will describe how the CMS experimentalists are sorting through the LHC collision data to go Beyond the Standard Model. The focus of the talk will be on recent results obtained using data collected at Run-II of the LHC.

B and D Meson Leptonic Decay Constants and Quark Masses from Four-Flavor Lattice QCD Friday, 1 June 2018 14:30 (30 minutes)

We describe a recent lattice-QCD calculation of the leptonic decay constants of heavy-light pseudoscalar mesons containing charm and bottom quarks and of the masses of the up, down, strange, charm, and bottom quarks. Results for these quantities are of the highest precision to date. Calcula- tions use over twenty isospin-symmetric ensembles of gauge-field configurations with six different lattice spacings down to approximately 0.03 fm and several values of the light-quark masses down to physical values of the average up and down sea-quark masses. We use the highly-improved staggered-quark (HISQ) formulation for valence and sea quarks, including the bottom quark. The analysis employs heavy-quark effective theory (HQET). A novel HQET method is used in thede- termination of the quark masses.

CMS Physics Performance with Precision Timing Saturday, 2 June 2018 16:10 (25 minutes)

As part of the Phase II upgrade program, the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector will incorporate a new timing layer designed to measure minimum ionizing particles (MIPs) with a time resolution of ∼30 ps. Precision timing will mitigate the impact of the challenging levels of pileup expected at the High Luminosity LHC. The time information assigned to each track will enable the use of 4D-vertexing which will render a 5-fold pile-up reduction, thus recovering the current conditions. Precision timing will also enable new time-based isolations and improved b-tagging algorithms. All of this translates into a ∼20% gain in effective luminosity when looking at di- Higgs boson events decaying to a pair of b-quarks and two photons. We present the expected improvements in physics performance with precision timing with the upgraded CMS detector.

Neutrino Burst-Generated Gravitational Radiation from Collapsing Supermassive Stars Friday, 1 June 2018 18:30 (1 hour)

We estimate the gravitational radiation signature of the e+e− annihilation-driven neutrino burst accompanying the asymmetric collapse of an initially hydrostatic, radiation-dominated supermassive object suffering the Feynman-Chandrasekhar instability. An object with a mass 5 × 4 5 10 Msun < M < 5 × 10 Msun, with primordial metallicity, is an optimal case with respect to the fraction of its rest mass emitted in neutrinos as it collapses to a black hole: lower initial mass objects will be subject to scattering-induced neutrino trapping and consequently lower efficiency in this mode of gravitational radiation generation; while higher masses will notgethot enough to radiate significant neutrino energy before producing a black hole. The optimal casecol- lapse will radiate several percent of the star’s rest mass in neutrinos and, with an assumed small asymmetry in temperature at peak neutrino production, produces a characteristic linear memory gravitational wave burst signature. The timescale for this signature, depending on redshift, is ∼1 s to 10 s, optimal for proposed gravitational wave observatories like DECIGO. Using the response of that detector, and requiring a signal-to-noise ratio SNR > 5, we estimate that collapse of a 4 5 × 10 Msun supermassive star could produce a neutrino burst-generated gravitational radiation signature detectable to redshift z < 7. With the envisioned ultimate DECIGO design sensitivity, we estimate that the linear memory signal from these events could be detectable with SNR > 5 to z < 13.

Neutrino Flavor Transformation and the Cosmic Lepton Asymmetry Friday, 1 June 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

Observational constraints permit a cosmic lepton asymmetry that is orders of magnitude larger than its baryonic counterpart, a possibility of great relevance for leptogenesis, sterile neutrino dark matter, and the flavor evolution of Standard Model neutrinos. It is this last connection that we focus on here: the flavor states of neutrinos in the early universe are coupled to each other, through neutrino-neutrino forward scattering, in a way that depends on the lepton asymmetry. We identify the regimes of flavor transformation that are permitted by constraints and discuss possible ramifications for Big Bang nucleosynthesis. Incidentally, the regime preferred by resonant production of sterile neutrino dark matter is marked by a new flavor-transformation phenomenon, which we analogize to the real-life toy known as a rattleback.

Microscopic Shell Model Interactions and Effective Operators Friday, 1 June 2018 16:40 (30 minutes)

As experimental efforts have shifted towards the study of rare isotopes, the predictive powerof the wildly successful (but heretofore phenomenological) nuclear shell model is challenged by the scarcity of nearby data to constrain its parameters. Therefore, the ability to reliably calculate these parameters directly from the underlying nuclear forces, and relying less on experimental data, becomes increasingly urgent as we move away from stable nuclei. In this talk, I summarize recent progress towards this goal using the in-medium similarity renormalization group (IM-SRG) to construct microscopic shell model interactions and effective operators starting from the underlying inter-nucleon forces and currents.

Signatures of Hydrodynamic Behavior in Small Collision Systems Thursday, 31 May 2018 15:00 (20 minutes)

A well-established hydrodynamic framework has been developed over the last couple of decades to describe the dynamics of the fluidlike system (potentially, a quark-gluon plasma) created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. This framework predicts in particular the nontrivial patterns of long-range azimuthal correlations which are observed in the final states of nucleus-nucleus collisions, and has been able to explain, essentially, all data on azimuthal correlations collected at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A striking result of the LHC is the observation of the same patterns of azimuthal correlations in the final states of smaller collision systems, namely, p+p and p+Pb collisions. Such observations triggered immediately the question of whether a tiny droplet of fluidlike matter may be created in these small systems. Nowadays this is a subject under intense study, both theoretically and in experiments.

In this talk, I present our understanding of small systems in the hydrodynamic framework. By means of very simple arguments, I explain how the paradigms of the hydro picture turn out to be powerful tools allowing for predictions which are robust and universal, i.e., independent of the details of the models used to obtain the numerical results. I show that these generic predictions are all confirmed with an impressive accuracy by LHC p+Pb data, as well as by RHIC p+Au, d+Au, and 3He+Au data. I eventually discuss p+p collisions, where the signatures of hydrodynamic behavior appear to be less visible.

Drell-Yan Physics with Negative Pion Beams and Polarized Proton Targets at COMPASS Saturday, 2 June 2018 16:40 (30 minutes)

The proton is a complex composite object. Its structure, the dynamics of its constituents andits mass presently cannot be calculated from Quantum Chromo Dynamics without simplifying model assumptions. Momentum- and spin-dependent distributions of the constituent partons, quarks and gluons, have been determined from the QCD analysis of data sets taken in deep inelastic lepton- proton scattering experiments and in high energy proton-proton collider experiments. Despite the very significant experimental and theoretical effort, there remain important shortcomings inthe knowledge of proton structure. COMPASS at CERN aims to improve the knowledge of Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) through exclusive muon-proton scattering. Using Drell-Yan production of muon pairs with negative pion beams on polarized proton targets, COMPASS will constrain transverse momentum dependent quark distributions of the proton.

The Drell-Yan process is a well-understood electromagnetic effect in which a beam-hadron quark/antiquark annihilates with a target hadron anti-quark/quark. It is well suited to explore the sea quark structure of the proton, transverse momentum- and transverse spin-dependent quark distributions (TMDs) and nuclear effects in proton quark structure. The presentation will introduce the Drell- Yan process and discuss the latest results on TMD observables from COMPASS. The talk will conclude with a discussion of plans for future Drell-Yan experiments with high-intensity meson and anti-proton beams at the CERN SPS.

The HERMES and COMPASS experiments are providing SIDIS asymmetries observed in meson-electroproduction off polarised protons and neutrons, establishing the underlying reaction mechanism and providing constraints and input to the modelling of TMDs.

This talk will highlight the MESA dark sector program and in particular two experiments will be described. The first one is called MAGIX and it is a two-spectrometer set-up employing an internal gas-jet target installed on a recirculation arc of MESA.

The gravitational acceleration of antimatter, g¯, has yet to be directly measured; an unexpected outcome of its measurement could change our understanding of gravity, the universe, and the possibility of a fifth force. Three avenues are apparent for such a measurement: antihydrogen, positronium, and muonium, the last requiring a precision atom interferometer and novel muonium beam under development. The interferometer and its few-picometer alignment and calibration systems appear feasible. With 100 nm grating pitch, measurements of g¯ to 10%, 1%, or better can be envisioned. These could constitute the first gravitational measurements of leptonic matter,of 2nd-generation matter, and possibly, of antimatter.

We present several complementary searches for dark matter mediators using a 35.9 inverse femto- barn data set of proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV collected with the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016. One technique uses the CMS scouting data stream concept to record larger data rates than otherwise possible. Other searches use initial state radiation to overcome trigger thresholds and study boosted dijet resonances, whose decay products are merged into a single jet. Novel jet substructure techniques are used to avoid sculpting the distribution of the jet mass distribution and the dominant background is estimated from data. The searches are interpreted in the context of simplified models of dark matter with a leptophobic mediator. This approach hasalsobeen extended to the search for boosted Higgs bosons decaying to bottom quark-antiquark pairs.

Nucleon Form Factors in Dispersively Improved Chiral Effective Theory Saturday, 2 June 2018 18:10 (20 minutes)

We present a new method for calculating the nucleon electromagnetic form factors (EM FFs) combining Chiral Effective Field Theory (ChEFT) and dispersion analysis [1]. The FFs are expressedas 2 dispersive integrals over the two-pion cut at timelike t > 4Mπ. The spectral functions are computed using elastic unitarity, chiral pion-nucleon amplitudes (LO, NLO, partial N2LO), and timelike pion FF data. The method effectively includes ππ rescattering effects and the ρ resonance and leads to major improvements compared to traditional ChEFT calculations. Higher-mass isovector and isoscalar t-channel states are described by effective poles, whose strength is fixed by sum rules (charges, radii). We obtain excellent agreement with the spacelike proton and neutron FF data up to Q2 ∼ 1 GeV2. We predict the values of the higher FF derivatives with minimal uncertainties and study their collective behavior (multiple dynamical scales, unnatural sizes). Our approach provides a FF parametrization with proper analyticity and theoretical uncertainty estimates, which can be used for analysis of low-Q2 elastic scattering data and extraction of the proton radius [2].

Status and Future Plans for the HAYSTAC Experiment Tuesday, 29 May 2018 16:50 (20 minutes)

HAYSTAC (Haloscope At Yale Sensitive To Axion CDM) is a microwave cavity experiment designed both as a data pathfinder and innovation test-bed, in the 3–12 GHz (12–50 µeV) mass range. The Phase I run program (2016–17) covered a small region of mass around 24 µeV, achieving a sensitivity in axion-photon coupling well into the range of realistic axion models for a standard halo density. With a tunable annular copper cavity of only 1.5 L volume in a 9 T superconducting magnet, HAYSTAC achieved a system noise temperature of only 2× the Standard Quantum Limit (kBTSYS = hν), an order of magnitude improvement over any other experiment; its extraordinary sensitivity owing to the first-ever use of Josephson Parametric Amplifiers (JPA) and a dilution refrigerator in a microwave cavity experiment. Currently, a 2-JPA squeezed-vacuum state receiver is being integrated into the experiment that will enable a significant speed up of data taking; commissioning will begin early summer. Innovations in microwave resonators will also be described, such as Photonic Band Gap structures to eliminate interference from unwanted TE-modes with the TM010-like mode of interest, which couples to the axion field.

Supernova 1987A created an environment of extremely high temperatures and nucleon densities. The rough agreement between predictions of core collapse models and observations of a “neutrino burst” provide an opportunity to set bounds on a wide range of theories of new physics. I will present new bounds on dark sector models, incorporating finite-temperature effects on the production and trapping of a dark photon and millicharged particles, nuclear effects for the coupling to axions, and a more realistic model of the high-mixing parameter space than in previous work. This has dramatic effects for the landscape of such models.

The main focus of the talk will be direct detection constraints on S Dark Matter, and two major cosmological consequences: predicted ΩDM /Ωb = 4.5 − 6, in excellent agreement with the 5.3 ± 0.1 observed, and 7Li abundance in agreement with observation (which is ∼ 10σ below the standard LCDM prediction). For the relevant parameter space of S interactions with nucleons via ω–ϕ and f0 meson exchange, the Born Approximation does not apply. This requires a complete re-evaluation of Di- rect Detection experiments, as will be reported. Time permitting, possible additional astrophysical consequences will be discussed.

The Theory of Jets in Dense Matter Friday, 1 June 2018 16:40 (30 minutes)

The quenching of hard jets in relativistic heavy-ion collisions has become the leading probeof the properties of the Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) formed in these collisions. Formed in rare hard interactions, jets traverse the entire space-time profile of the exploding plasma and are modified by it. The detailed study of these modifications reveals clues about the internal structure ofthe QGP. In this talk I will conduct a broad survey of the field of jet modification in dense matter, outlining the variety of observables that are now available and what can be discerned from these. I will also focus on the evolving technology of Monte-Carlo event generators and how these can become probing tools in the study of the QGP.

Overview of Recent Heavy Ion Results from the CMS Experiment Thursday, 31 May 2018 16:40 (30 minutes)

We present a summary of recent heavy ion results with CMS, including several topics of interest to the study of quark matter. Our interest involves characterizing the properties of the quark- gluon plasma, such as its temperature and transport coefficients, and the dynamical properties leading to collective behavior. We have explored the onset of collectivity in small systems via azimuthal correlations in p-Pb collisions. We discuss energy loss of high momentum partons via measurements of photon-tagged jets, jet shapes, heavy-flavor jets, and reconstruction of heavy- flavor hadrons. We present results on hot and cold nuclear effects on charmonia and bottomonia via measurements in p-Pb and Pb-Pb. In addition, measurements obtained during the 1-day Xe- Xe test run at the LHC, comparing them to the Pb-Pb case, will also be presented. We discuss measurements of W bosons and top quark production in p-Pb collisions, which can constrain nuclear PDFs.

Lattice QCD Constraints on the QCD Critical Point Saturday, 2 June 2018 16:40 (30 minutes)

The physics of the transition from the hadronic to quark-gluon plasma phase is non-perturbative and lattice QCD provides a framework for ab initio calculations in this regime of QCD. It is expected that the QCD phase diagram in the temperature-baryon chemical potential plane contains a line of first-order phase transitions that ends at a critical point. Ab initio calculations at non-zero chemical potential are difficult due to the sign problem. However, significant progress has beenmadeby using the Taylor expansion and imaginary chemical potential methods. Lattice calculations of the fluctuations and correlations of conserved charges and the higher-order cumulants, thatIwill review in this talk, allow one to access a region of non-zero chemical potential and put constraints on the possible location of the critical point.

The APEX Experiment at Jefferson Lab: A Search for a New Vector Boson Wednesday, 30 May 2018 18:30 (20 minutes)

The A’ Experiment, or APEX, aims to search for a new vector boson that kinetically mixes withthe photon, a “dark photon” or a “heavy photon”, with a mass of O(100 MeV) by studying the invariant mass spectrum of e+e− pairs produced from an electron beam on a high-Z target. Dark photons appear in many well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model and may mediate interactions between dark matter and ordinary matter. APEX will extend current constraints on the mixing parameter by a factor of a few for dark photon masses near 100 MeV. APEX is scheduled to take data at Jefferson Lab in early 2019, taking advantage of the high duty-factor electron beamand using the twin symmetric high resolution spectrometers in Hall A. An overview of the current constraints for such a boson and experimental plans will be presented.

Parity violating electron scattering off unpolarised electrons or unpolarised protons at lowmo- mentums transfer (well below Z-pole) is an ideal tool to test the Standard Model and search for BSM-physics up to a mass scale of about 50 TeV, complementary to the new physics searches at high energies at the LHC. The future MOLLER experiment at JLab and the future P2 experiment at the upcoming MESA facility in Mainz are designed to reach an accuracy of order per mille in the measurement of the weak mixing angle and are sensitive to partly different Standard Model extensions. Both experiments and their prospective physics reach will be discussed.

Introducing the SnowBall Chamber, Supercooled Water for Dark Matter and Neutron Detection Friday, 1 June 2018 18:30 (1 hour)

We have all heard of the cloud and bubble chambers of course, and the latter in the context of direct WIMP dark matter detection even. However, no one has explored a third phase transition, into solid, until now that is. This poster will introduce the snowball chamber, which utilizes a supercooled liquid, just purified water in the prototype. An incoming particle triggers nucleation in the liquid, forming a solid. We will present the world’s first definitive evidence that radiation can trigger freezing in metastable cold water, an effect never before observed, and in particular share AmBe neutron source calibration data, wherein multiple nucleation sites could be observed during the neutron source runs, another world first, making our device act just like a reverse bubble chamber. Because the reaction is exothermic, not endothermic as in a bubble chamber, the energy threshold should be lower, perfect for sub-GeV dark matter searches, for which we will show the measured gamma discrimination, high as in a bubble chamber, and the projected sensitivity, showing our new technology reaching the neutrino floor, with a smaller, more cost- effective detector than many of the competing new technologies. The crystallization mayeven have directionality which we will show preliminary evidence for: this would mean higher-density directional detectors than in gas, capable of not just reaching the neutrino floor but punching through it, at masses less than 10 GeV/c2 at least.

We present a lattice QCD study of the ρ resonance with Nf = 2+1 clover fermions at a pion mass of approximately 320 MeV and lattice size 3.6 fm. We study two processes involving the ρ. The first process is scattering of two pions in P-wave with isospin 1 where by using the Luescher methodwe determine the strong scattering phase shift, from which we determine the ρ resonance mass and decay width Γ(ρ → ππ). The second process is the radiative transition πγ → ππ where we follow the Briceno-Hansen-Walker-Loud approach to determine the radiative transition amplitude in the invariant mass region near the ρ resonance and both space- and time-like momentum transfer. This allows us to determine the coupling between the ρ, the pion and the photon and the ρ radiative decay width.

Composite Higgs from Mass-Split Models Friday, 1 June 2018 18:30 (1 hour)

Beyond Standard Model theories describing the electro-weak sector must exhibit a large separation of scales (or “walking”) to account for a light, 125 GeV Higgs boson and the fact that so far no other resonances have been observed. Large separation of scales arises naturally and in a tunable manner in mass-split models that are built on a conformal fixed point in the ultraviolet. Splitting the fermion masses into “light” (massless) and “heavy” flavors, the system shows conformal behavior in the ultraviolet but is chirally broken in the infrared.

Due to the presence of a conformal fixed point, such chirally broken systems show hyperscaling and have a highly constrained resonance spectrum that is significantly different from the QCD spectrum. We highlight most characteristic features presenting numerical data obtained from dynamical simulations of an SU(3) gauge theory with four light and eight heavy flavors. In addition, we give an outlook on ongoing work simulating an SU(3) gauge theory with four light and six heavy flavors using a set-up well suited to explore e.g. mass-generation of Standard Model fermionsvia four-fermion interactions or partial compositeness.

We present the status and prospects of the Sub-Electron Noise Skipper Experimental Instrument (SENSEI) that uses a non-destructive readout technique to achieve stable readout for thick fully depleted silicon CCD in the far sub-electron regime (∼ 0.05 e− rms/pix). This is the first instrument to achieve discrete sub-electron counting that is stable over millions of pixels on a large-area detector. This low threshold allows for unprecedented sensitivity to the largely unexplored, but theoretically well-motivated, area of sub-GeV dark matter models. We’ll discuss the reach and prospects of the SENSEI experiment currently under construction, which will use 100 grams of Skipper CCDs. We will also present the lessons learned from a small scale prototype currently operating in the MINOS cavern at Fermilab.

The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is a feasibility demonstration of a crucial emittance- reduction technique for future muon colliders and neutrino factories. MICE has studied the effect of ionization energy loss in low-Z absorber materials on a muon beam. Muons were focussed on lithium hydride and liquid hydrogen absorbers using a large-aperture solenoid. Particle tracking and identification detectors upstream and downstream of the absorber enabled the reconstruction of the phase-space coordinates of individual muons. The evolution of beam emittance was measured by studying the properties of ensembles of single muons using muon beams with varying input emittances and momenta. Data taken in 2016 and 2017 are currently being analyzed. The current status and most recent results are presented.

We report the demonstration of a micro-power sensor designed for three-dimensional ionization charge detection and digital readout of liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs). 3D readout is achieved using a custom-designed 32-channel system-on-a-chip ASIC (LArPix-v1), man- ufactured in 180 nm bulk CMOS, to uniquely instrument each pad in a charge-sensitive pad sensor array. Using a prototype sensor with 3 mm spacing between pads, we demonstrate low-noise (< 500 e− equivalent) low-power (< 100 µW/ch) ionization signal detection and readout of cosmic ray interactions in two LArTPCs with drift distances of 10 to 60 cm. This demonstration of 3D micro-power readout overcomes a critical technical obstacle for operation of LArTPCs in high-occupancy environments, such as the near detector site of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE).

Possibilities for Underground Physics in the Pyhäsalmi Mine Friday, 1 June 2018 18:30 (1 hour)

The underground mining in the Pyhäsalmi mine, Finland, is coming to an end in approximately 18 months after nearly 60 years of operation. The infrastructure of the mine is in excellent condition, including 1400-metre long vertical elevator shaft and 11-km long truck-size decline for transporta- tion, large underground storage and service halls, offices, restaurant and modern communication services. An organization called Callio has been founded (https://callio.info) to maintain and operate the underground premises after the closure of the mine. There exists currently one dedicated laboratory hall (Lab2) for physics experiments at the deepest location of the mine. The overburden of 4100 mwe offers great possibilities for physics experiments requiring maximum shielding from cosmic muons. New excavations are possible.

Currently there are two physics experiments running in the mine. EMMA is studying the composition of cosmic rays at the knee region. The array of 11 stations is situated at the depth of75 m. The C14 experiment is situated in the laboratory hall Lab2. It is a small-size low-background set-up to map the concentration of carbon-14 in liquid scintillators.

Progress Towards Measurement of the Nuclear Anapole Moment of Ba-137 Using BaF Molecules Friday, 1 June 2018 18:30 (1 hour)

Nuclear spin dependent parity violation (NSD-PV) effects in atoms and molecules arise from Z0 boson exchange between electrons and the nucleus, and from the magnetic interaction between electrons and the parity-violating nuclear anapole moment. It has been proposed to study NSD- PV effects using an enhancement of the observable effect in diatomic molecules. Here, wedemon- strate measurements of this type with sensitivity to NSD-PV effects surpassing that of any previous atomic PV measurement, using the test system 138Ba19F. With ∼168 hours of data, we measure the matrix element, W , of the NSD-PV interaction with combined statistical and systematic uncertainty δW < 0.7 Hz. The sensitivity we demonstrate would be sufficient to measure NSD-PV effects of the size anticipated across a wide range of nuclei. We describe the details ofourmethod and future improvements, including an extensive study of systematic errors associated with our technique, and show that these can be controlled at least at the level of the present statistical sensitivity.

Visualizing Invisible Dark Matter Annihilation with the CMB and Matter Power Spectrum Friday, 1 June 2018 18:30 (1 hour)

We study the cosmological signatures of Invisibly Annihilating Dark Matter (IAnDM) where DM annihilates into dark radiation particles that are decoupled from the Standard Model (SM). In a large class of dark sector models such invisible annihilation determines the relic abundance of DM via dark thermal freezeout. We demonstrate that IAnDM may reveal itself through observable,

novel signatures that are correlated: scale-dependent ∆Neff (number of extra effective neutrinos) in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) spectrum due to DM residual annihilation, while the phase of acoustic peaks shift towards the opposite direction relative to that due to SM neutrinos, resembling the effect due to scattering (fluid-like) thermal dark radiation. In addition, IAnDM induces modifications to the matter power spectrum that resemble yet are distinct from thatdue to warm dark matter. Current data is sensitive to IAnDM with masses upto ∼ 200 keV, while future observations will improve the reach, especially if the late-time DM annihilation cross-section is enhanced relative to the standard thermal value, which can be realized in a variety of scenarios.

The nucleon is a complex composite object. Its structure, the dynamics of its constituents andits mass presently cannot be calculated from Quantum Chromo Dynamics without simplifying model assumptions. Momentum- and spin-dependent distributions of quarks and gluons have been determined with increasing precision through 50 years of deep inelastic lepton-proton scattering experiments and the QCD analysis of 30 years of high energy proton-proton collider data. Despite this significant effort, there remain important shortcomings in the knowledge of proton structure. We will review present experimental knowledge and discuss the impact future high precision measurements at Jefferson Laboratory and EIC will have.
