C03.00001: Coupling Gravitational Waves and Light: Lessons Learned and Future Prospects Invited Speaker: Wen-fai Fong As demonstrated by the historic discovery and follow-up campaigns of the first neutron star merger, GW170817, future multi-messenger observations coupling gravitational waves and light hold the promise of precise localizations, thus enabling the determination of precise redshifts, the nature of their outflows, and properties of the environment on sub-parsec to kiloparsec scales. Here, I will discuss lessons learned from follow-up campaigns in O3 and prospects for the detection of future such multi-messenger detections, matched to current and planned electromagnetic facilities, as well as potential future capabilities.

C03.00002: New technology developments to search for new dark matter candidates Invited Speaker: Guillermo Fernandez The lack of experimental evidence of the WIMP (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) signal candidates in many experiments with different target materials in the last two decades has pushed the development of more challenging technology to explore new theoretical explanations. The talk will give a summary of this changing scenario, discuss current technology developments for dark matter searches in the region, and focus on a semiconductor device with single electron discrimination capability (called Skipper Charge Coupled Device) which provides the most stringent constraints for light hidden-sector galactic dark matter candidates as part of the SENSEI experiment.

C03.00003: Development of Mössbauer Microscope for Meteorite Studies Invited Speaker: Esen Ercan Alp Meteorites are almost always mixed phase minerals at the microscopic level. There are numerous ways to study the structure and properties of these minerals that can uniquely identify the source of the meteorites. Here, we present a newly developed microscopic method: synchrotron radiation-based Mossbauer Microscope. We will discuss the potential of this new approach with two different imaging modalities. \\ \\ In Collaboration With J. Zhao, M. Y. Hu, Argonne National Laboratory. [Preview Abstract] |
