Join us on Thursday, October 16th at 3:30pm for another installment of our Fall Colloquium Series!

 

Drexel University's very own Dr. Russell Neilson will be presenting recent findings in his research in a talk titled, "The PROSPECT and SBC Experiments for Neutrino and Dark Matter Physics".

 

Abstract: 

The PROSPECT (Precision Reactor Oscillation and SPECTrum) experiment detects neutrinos emitted from the HFIR nuclear reactor using the inverse beta decay process in 4 tons of Li-6 loaded liquid scintillator. PROSPECT has analyzed neutrino data to search for active-sterile neutrino oscillations, to measure the energy spectrum of reactor neutrinos, and to demonstrate neutrino detection applications. The SBC (Scintillating Bubble Chamber) experiment aims to use cryogenic liquid argon bubble chambers to search for dark matter and detect reactor neutrinos. The first SBC detector is about to begin taking commissioning data at a shallow underground site at Fermilab. I will present recent results from these two experiments and outline future plans.
