Searching for New Physics With Low-Energy Techniques - With Danielle Speller

This course explores experiments in nuclear, particle, and astrophysics using low-background, cryogenic detection techniques to search for signals of new physics. The learning outcomes include understanding the challenges to our current understanding of matter-antimatter asymmetry and invisible mass components in galaxies. The course teaches about matter particles, antiparticles, nuclear decay, double beta decay, crystal sensors, large detectors, and data collection methods. The teaching method involves lectures and discussions. The intended audience includes individuals interested in physics, astrophysics, and experimental research in particle detection techniques.
