Very proud of three undergraduates in our group who presented their projects at the annual College of Arts & Sciences Undergraduate Research Festival, held virtually today! Great job Paul, Jakub, and Daniel!
We’re Hiring!
Hey future Physics professors, we have recently started a search here at Syracuse for an Assistant Professor working in experimental particle physics! If you, or someone you know, might be interested, check out the ad located at https://inspirehep.net/jobs/1858306 and https://www.sujobopps.com/postings/86544
Cool Story
Check out this interesting story from Fermilab, highlighting a new paper from Steven Gardiner of Fermilab about the MARLEY program and its potential applications for supernova neutrino studies. The story highlights recents low-energy LArTPC reconstruction tools developed first on ArgoNeuT, then on MicroBooNE by our own Avinay Bhat! Let’s hope we get lucky and have DUNE up and running when the next galactic supernova burst passes our way 😉
Monica elected to Fermilab UEC
Postdoctoral researcher Monica Nunes was recently elected to the Fermilab Users Executive Committee (UEC), which is a group that helps look after quality of life at the lab, organizes the annual Users Meeting, and makes an annual trip to Washington D.C. to advocate for particle physics research funding. She’s in good company, as former Syracuse postdoc Jonathan Asaadi is also on the current UEC. Congratulations Monica!
Neutrino 2020 Posters
Continuing with the theme of highlighting group activities in the past year… Three of our graduate students presented posters at this past summer’s Neutrino 2020 conference! This is the most significant conference in the field of neutrino physics, and even though it was completely virtual due to the covid pandemic, it managed to be as engaging and interesting as ever. The posters were given by:
Avinay Bhat – MeV Scale Physics in MicroBooNE. (Bonus reading: MICROBOONE-NOTE 1076-PUB)
Ohana Benevides Rodrigues – Novel Ion Trap Design Concept as a LAr Purity Monitor
Abhilash Yallappa Dombara – Wrong Sign Contamination in NOvA
Great job all around!
