My favorite dog, Chiao Chiao, at NTHU!

Dark matter candidates

Thank everyone for being parts of my journey to this master’s defense today! Especially my supervisor Dr. Andrew Cooper and two examiners: Dr. Lan Ting-Wen and Dr. Daniel Harsono. And a special thank to Thong Nguyen 🐶🐾📚🎓

Coming to arxiv tomorrow...

Here's something I was not expecting: PandaX have somehow beaten XENONnT to the punch and have got their 8B solar neutrino measurement preprint out first! They claim a 2.6 sigma detection of the flux. arxiv.org/abs/2407.10892

The 2024 Edition of the PDG Review of Particle Physics is out now! My first as a contributor journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

It's been a long time coming... I'm super excited to announce the CCHP's local measurement of the Hubble constant via the JAGB method, a standard candle I have been developing during graduate school. We find H0 = 67.96 +/- 1.85 km/s/Mpc. arxiv.org/abs/2408.03474

My first first-author paper is on ArXiv now! With Dr. Andrew Cooper, we used the DESI Legacy Survey to study the projected density profiles and number counts of globular clusters around 707 nearby galaxies. Check out the results at arxiv.org/abs/2408.07124

Our latest paper's figure on the dark photon trident is chosen by the INTEGRAL Science Operation Centre (ISOC) and the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) to be September Picture of the Month! cosmos.esa.int/web/integral/p…

Former OKC member Pedro de la Torre Luque and current member Tim Linden has analysed data from the AMS-02 experiment on the International space station to better understand the properties of dark matter: okc.albanova.se/news/glimmers-…

After receiving many requests for this, I have made a new GitHub repository for dark matter direct detection exclusion limits. Please let me know if I should add anything! github.com/cajohare/Direc…

Esta semana ha tenido lugar en nuestro centro el SO-Workshop "Writing and Communicating your Science", con Henri Boffin (ESO) y Johan Knapen (IAC Astrofísica). 📝 En él se ha tratado el cómo escribir papers, proposals y hacer buenas presentaciones. ¡Y ha sido todo un éxito!

Are you a grad student working on neutrinos or planning to? Join us in our fourth summer school "Here, There & Everywhere"! ▶ Neutrino phenomenology, astrophysics, cosmology ▶ Registration: nbia.dk/neutrino2025 ▶ Seminars + student talks ▶ Register by March 31, 2025

1/ 🚀 Happy to start the new year by sharing our new paper, now live on arXiv (and the first of 2025!): "Deep Learning Optimal Molecular Scintillators for Dark Matter Direct Detection." Check it out here: arxiv.org/pdf/2501.00091, with Carlos Blanco & Cameron Cook. a 🧵

Hello All, HNY 🎆🎇 Heads up on a APCTP GW workshop in Academia Sinica, Taipei, April 20-25: sites.google.com/apctp.org/apct… It’s a small workshop, but registration is free, and contributed talks & posters are welcome. Please share to interested parties 🙏🏽 (Photo below AI-generated)

Overwhelmed with projects, so here’s a quick plug: in January, we set leading limits on leptophilic DM-electron scattering using 10 yrs of Super-K data 🌞 (w/ Linden, Carenza, Widmark). Hyper-K projections included: arxiv.org/abs/2501.14864
