Very much enjoyed today’s seminar from the #luxzeplin (#lz) collaboration. With 417 live-days of data, they have expanded their analysis window to low-mass dark matter candidates. No evidence of candidates in their narrow search window (3-9 GeV, or […]

Doing repairs on some of the holiday village miniatures. I am excited to replace the 5V motor on this ballroom model so the dancers can dance again!

Last day in Ottawa for the Canadian Science Policy Conference. It has been exciting and exhausting to engage with so many excellent people across the spectrum from basic research, to startup companies, to policymakers.

It’s been an incredible few days in #montreal for a workshop on the future of xenon-based neutrinoless double beta decay programs. Grateful to McGill University and the workshop sponsors for the chance to listen, learn, and engage with experts in this field.

NEXT, the Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC (Time Projection Chamber), is a collaboration and a technology aimed at using a high-pressure gas as an observatory for the ultra-rare neutrinoless double beta decay phenomenon.

Impressive progress on bringing down the #superstack in Copper Cliff. It has gone from the 2nd tallest stack to the 8th tallest since they began the work this year.
