E02.00002: W.K.H. Panofsky Prize in Experimental Particle Physics (2022): Observing the Tau Neutrino Invited Speaker: Vittorio Paolone Since the discovery of the Tau lepton in the 1970's it's neutrino partner was predicted to exist. In the subsequent decades much indirect evidence for it's existence was amassed. In the 1990's the DONuT experiment was conceived and designed to directly observe tau neutrino interactions with matter. In 2000 evidence for the first direct observation of the tau neutrino was published using the emulsion technique which had been developed for observing short lived particles. In this talk details of the DONuT experiment, the inherent difficulty in observing Nu_τ interactions, the importance of direct observation of the tau neutrino to the neutrino oscillation community and the prospects of Nu_τ direct observation in future oscillation experiments such as DUNE will be presented. |

E02.00004: Panofsky Prize: Observing the Tau Neutrino Invited Speaker: Regina A Rameika Since the discovery of the Tau lepton in the 1970's it's neutrino partner was predicted to exist. In the subsequent decades much indirect evidence for it's existence was amassed. In the 1990's the DONuT experiment was conceived and designed to directly observe tau neutrino interactions with matter. In 2000 evidence for the first direct observation of the tau neutrino was published using the emulsion technique which had been developed for observing short lived particles. This talk will concentrate on the role of Nu_taus in oscillation experiments and prospects for future observations. |

E02.00005: Henry Primakoff Award for Early-Career Particle Physics (2022): Discovering Unanticipated New Physics with Machine Learning Invited Speaker: Benjamin Nachman Modern machine learning tools are allowing us to explore high energy physics data in new ways. These approaches may enable discoveries that were unthinkable with existing strategies. I introduce these new "anomaly detection" methods, which differ from typical approaches developed for non-scientific applications. While these approaches are just starting to be applied to experimental data, there is an exciting program ahead of us as these tools become more developed and widely deployed. |
