Physics and Astronomy Colloquium
in 131 Physics
Speaker: Juan Collar, Enrico Fermi Institute
Subject: Something Old, Something New
Refreshments served in Room 216 Physics at 3:30 p.m.
We'll discuss two initiatives in astroparticle and neutrino physics at the University of Chicago, both sharing in common the revival and revision of old technologies to address new experimental challenges. COUPP employs ultra-clean heavy liquid bubble chambers to search for WIMP dark matter. COGENT aims at the detection of faint (sub-keV) signals in detectors large enough to allow searches for rare processes, using recently developed p-type point contact Germanium detectors.
