G1.00001: Project 8 - A Tritium Endpoint Experiment to Measure Neutrino Mass Invited Speaker: Brent VanDevender The Project 8 Collaboration is developing the next-generation experiment to measure the mass of the electron antineutrino by the tritium endpoint method. To improve in sensitivity beyond the impending KATRIN experiment, Project 8 must address serious scaling issues to accommodate a sufficiently intense tritium source for statistical sensitivity, while also addressing systematic limitations of molecular tritium sources. The method of Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy (CRES) introduces a more favorable scaling relation between the tritium source volume, density, and statistical sensitivity. We also address the technical challenges of the required {\em atomic} tritium source, which evades systematic issues associated with the molecular dynamics of tritium's more natural dimer state. Progress on both fronts, as well as plans for the future are presented. [Preview Abstract] |

G1.00002: Recent results from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory Invited Speaker: Darren Grant The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, located at South Pole Station Antarctica, is currently the world's largest neutrino telescope with an instrumented volume greater than 1 gigaton. With sensitivity to neutrinos ranging in energies from approximately 10 GeV to the EeV-scale, IceCube has established a rich scientific program that includes the advent of neutrino astronomy, leading measurements of atmospheric neutrino oscillations, and indirect dark matter searches. The latest results from IceCube, including expectations for the planned next generation detector, will be presented. [Preview Abstract] |
