Research interests: My research focuses on discovering diffuse sub-PeV gamma-rays by the Tibet ASγ Collaboration and its implications for PeV-scale decaying dark matter. We investigate various final states, density profiles, and astrophysical background models to establish the most stringent limit on the dark matter lifetime for Standard Model final states. Our findings highlight the strongest constraints for dark matter masses in the range of a few PeV to tens of PeV.

PhD student, In person
Research interests: My PhD is about the generation and propagation of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays outside our galaxy and the effects of the Galactic Magnetic Field on their arrival directions. We will study their angular auto- and cross-correlation (this one with other fields such as Large Scale Structure or other messengers such as neutrinos) in harmonic space. More related to the school is a project I recently started that is funded by the Charles University Grant Agency. We will use the cross-correlation in a similar way to the previous project but with neutrinos and gravitational waves coming from Tidal Disruption Events. We will focus on the White Dwarf-Intermediate Mass Black Hole binary case first. We will extend our analysis beyond the White Dwarf case in the future. I would like to give a presentation on this topic.

Research interests: Theoretical predictions for DUNE experiment in the Neutrino-Nucleus Deep Inelastic region. Recently the need for better theoretical understanding of the nuclear medium effects in the deep inelastic scattering(DIS) region in the electromagnetic(EM) and weak(Weak) interaction induced processes has been emphasized in view of the present DIS experiments being performed on the various nuclear targets using the electron beams at the JLab and the neutrino/antineutrino beams at the Fermilab. Specially, nuclear medium effects are being studied in the neutrino/antineutrino scattering using the nuclear targets like carbon, iron and lead in the MINERνA experiment at the Fermilab. We have studied the nuclear medium effects in the electromagnetic structure functions and the weak structure functions in the deep inelastic charged lepton and neutrino-nucleus scattering. The nuclear structure functions are calculated using dynamical origin of Nuclear Medium Effect(NME). NMEs are A, x and Q2 dependent. In GENIE, DIS is calculated in an effective leading order model using the modifications prescribed by Bodek and Yang. There is no A(mass number) dependence in GENIE. GRV98 LO parton distributions are being used in GENIE. We shall do comparative study of our numerical calculation and GENIE DIS differential scattering cross section for Argon and Iron target. These results would be useful for upcoming DUNE experiment.

Research interests: I am Bhavna Yadav, a PhD final year student in Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (IITJ). My research area is high energy physics, in particular Neutrino Physics and beyond Standard Model (BSM). Neutrino physics has been probing new physics in various different ways. Neutrino oscillation is main effect for neutrino flavour changing process and this confirmed by many experiments. Some sub dominant effects can also occur due to neutrinos interactions with matter, non standard interaction (NSI) is one of them. Non-standard neutrino interactions can provide an indication of the presence of some new physics beyond Standard Model (SM). A platform for testing and analyzing local hidden variable theories is provided by quantum correlations, which are founded on the principles of locality and realism. Schrodinger initially proposed the idea of quantum correlation in his 1935. Neutrino oscillation has non-classical aspects in Bell's inequality, making it a good system for studying quantum correlation measurements. Currently, I am analyzing the effect of NSI on some quantum correlation measures for different reactor and accelerator experiments.

Research interests: Several beyond-the-Standard-Model theories that explain the origin of neutrino mass also predict the existence of some undiscovered heavy mediator particle. If such a particle exists, we expect neutrinos that pass through the Earth to interact with Earth's matter through that particle in a way that influences their oscillation. My current research aims to place constraints on the strength of these non-standard neutrino interactions using atmospheric oscillation data from the IceCube experiment.

Research interests: Our objective is to focus on extensions of the SM and build such models that can be probed in current or near future experiments. Various Colliders, i.e. ATLAS, CMS, LHCb, Belle-II, etc., Beam Dump, i.e. NA64(e++ ), AWAKE, HPS, Sea Quest at Fermilab, and Direct-Detection, i.e. XENONnT, LZ, XMASS-II, and SENSEI, experiments yield strong limitations on such models, allowing us to confine the parameters of such theories and witness the impact of novel physics. We worked on various aspects of model building, starting fundamentally from gauge anomaly cancellations and new gauge symmetries. Recently we studied the self-energy corrections to the gauge bosons and the parametrization of dominant BSM effects in terms of oblique parameters (S, T, U). These parameters encompass the effects of new physics provided the new physics mass scale is bigger than the electroweak scale. We applied this method to calculate loop corrections to W mass. We explored the possibility of the Canonical Scotogenic model to explain the W boson anomaly (https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.01522). In another work, we focused on the chiral solution of the gauged "B-L " model and attempted to investigate it in relation to the W anomaly (https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.11945). We also studied Constraints on Dark matter from relic density and direct detection experiments in these models. We are also interested in various neutrino properties, i.e. Neutrino-Oscillations, Lepton flavor violation, Neutrino mass mechanism, and in low-energy processes, i.e. Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, elastic neutrino electron scattering, and Dark matter electron/nucleus scattering [doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2023.137742] [arXiv:2208.06415 [hep-ph]].

Kaustav Dutta (he/him/his)

Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz
MSc student, In person
Research interests: The IceCube Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino telescope built into the deep glacial ice at the South Pole. Low energy extensions to the detector include the existing DeepCore subarray and the upcoming IceCube Upgrade. These focus on neutrino oscillation physics using atmospheric neutrinos and are characterized by a denser instrumentation. These elusive particles are indirectly detected by collecting Cherenkov photons emitted by secondary charged particles produced as a result of neutrino-nucleon interactions inside the detector. The reconstruction of event information, in particular direction and energy of an incoming neutrino, is a crucial ingredient to the oscillation analyses. The accuracy of reconstruction is therefore affected by statistical fluctuations in the particle shower development as well as by photon propagation and detection efficiencies of sensors. My current research is focused towards identifying the theoretically achievable resolution in the absence of modeling inaccuracies and computational limitations. The study aims to analyze the factors that limit reconstruction performance, which include algorithmic deficiencies such as minimizer performance and the available information contained in the events.

Krittika Adhikari (she/her/her)

Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute, Belur
MSc student, Online
Research interests: I have been studying the theoretical aspects of neutrino oscillations in vacuum and matter (matter effects) and Mass hierarchy problem. I have computed the oscillation parameters and studied them specifically for conditions of Bilarge and Trimaximal mixing. Since for the mixing matrix, considering the Majorana phases is irrelevant, I worked with the Dirac type of neutrino for oscillation probability calculations. I have discussed two neutrino oscillations and calculated the oscillation probabilities, obtained the transition probability relation in terms of a quartic product of the mixing matrix elements, also called the Jarlskog invariant. Since in oscillation experiments, the probability measurements require physical parameters, I had to parametrize the unitary mixing matrix, and started with a general n × n unitary matrix, found the number of independent parameters and used it for 2 flavor oscillations. The probabilities are obtained in terms of the single angular parameter and squared mass differences of the massive neutrino states. Next, I worked on three flavor oscillations and similarly calculated the oscillation probabilities and parametrized the 3×3 unitary matrix as the PMNS matrix. Subsequently, did similar calculations for oscillation probabilities of antineutrinos to find the CP violation, discussed about the CPT theorem and it’s conservation in nature and T asymmetry. Next, I have shown how the Scalar, Electromagnetic and the Dirac fields transform under continuous Lorentz transformation, discrete transformations such as parity and charge conjugation and a few bilinears with the Dirac field with the future prospect to write the weak interaction Lagrangian, since neutrinos interact with matter only via the weak interaction. I have described how neutrinos interact by charged current and neutral current interactions in matter. Lastly, derived the Hamiltonian density in vacuum in mass basis and doing unitary transformation, brought it to the flavor basis and extended to the Hamiltonian in matter in flavor basis. We again do unitary transformation to get the Hamiltonian in matter in mass basis, to finally obtain the measurable effective squared mass difference. This is known as the MSW effect. From the above study, it was concluded that in order to explain the atmospheric neutrino anomaly and solar neutrino problem, Neutrino oscillation phenomena is indeed necessary as can be seen from the oscillation probability calculations in two and three flavors in vacuum and matter and is studied experimentally as well. I am presently studying the mass hierarchy problem wherein the dominance of the squared mass difference (∆m_31)^2 over (∆m_21)^2 is considered since neutrino experiments have shown that neutrinos oscillate with two different squared-mass differences namely (∆m_SOL)^2 and (∆m_ATM)^2 and depending on neutrino energy, (∆m_ 31)^2 = (∆m_ATM)^2 and (∆m_ 21)^2 = (∆m_SOL)^2 can be written and are the independent mass squared differences in three flavor mixing. I am having to plot the probabilities as a function of L/E since in actual neutrino detection experiments, flight distance and neutrino energy play a very crucial role because high energetic neutrinos travel long distances undetected which is what the LBL Neutrino experiments study in contrast to the SBL neutrino experiments.

Lena Saurenhaus (she/her/her)

PhD student, In person
Research interests: Motivated by the excess of neutrino events from the direction of the nearby Seyfert II galaxy NGC 1068 that has recently been reported by IceCube, my current research project focuses on the study of Seyfert galaxies as potential sources of astrophysical neutrinos. In NGC 1068, neutrinos are most likely produced in photohadronic interactions of high-energy protons with X-rays in the vicinity of the central black hole. These X-rays are also responsible for attenuating the simultaneously produced gamma rays via two-photon annihilation, which causes NGC 1068 to be highly obscured in gamma rays. In order to investigate the prospects of observing other hidden neutrino sources with similar neutrino production mechanisms, we use Monte Carlo simulations based on multiwavelength observations of Seyfert galaxies. In combination with publicly available detector information, we can then make predictions about the detectability of the neutrino emission from those sources with existing and future neutrino telescopes. Connecting our findings on the diffuse flux from the source population as a whole to the possibility of detecting nearby individual sources will allow us to draw a coherent picture of the contribution of Seyfert galaxies to astrophysical neutrino observations.

Research interests: I am currently writing my master's thesis on "Radiative neutrino masses and the Cohen-Kaplan-Nelson bound". In it, I am looking at the influence of gravitational effects, which are motivated by the phenomeneology of black holes, on neutrino masses. The CKN bound restricts the allowed energy range in QFT and thus produces both an IR and UV cutoff in loop integrals. I mainly consider radiative models, such as the Scotogenic or Zee model, and investigate how the influence of the CKN bound affects the resulting masses.

Research interests: DUNE is an international particle physics experiment. Its main objective is to study neutrinos and their properties. One of its main components is the X-ARAPUCA, a photon detector. This detector consists of a mechanical structure, a wavelength shifter, and dichroic filters. The focus of this research project is on the study and characterization of pTP, the material used as a wavelength shifter, and the dichroic filters. pTP is a material with limited literature but extremely important for the functioning of X-ARAPUCA. Once this device is installed, it will operate for years in liquid argon without internal maintenance. Therefore, it is necessary to study the optical and mechanical properties of this material.

Research interests: There are two projects I'm working on at the moment. Project num.1 (project just starting): The aim of this project is to devise, build and test a multi-messenger approach for the future detection of intermediate mass black holes (IMBH). There is plenty of evidence pointing towards the existence of supermassive black holes (SMBH) and stellar black holes (SBH). However, our current models require the existence of yet undetected IMBH to explain the formation of SMBH. Therefore there is a lot of interest in devising new methods to detect these IMBH. Our research will have as its final objective to study how to use a combination of gravitational waves and high energy neutrinos to maximise the chances of detecting these elusive objects. Project num.2: The aim of this project is to investigate how strong constraints can be placed on the scalar ultra-light dark matter (scalar ULDM) coupling constants using pulsar timing data. We do this by focusing our attention on binary pulsars. Their orbital periods might be time-dependent due to the interaction between dark matter and the components of the binary systems. If this scenario is correct, then the interaction produces timing residuals, fingerprints of ULDM on pulsar time data, which can be further used to constrain a particular dark matter model. In this work dilatonic portal coupling constants are considered. We perform a statistical treatment of pulsar timing data in order to constrain the coupling constants. In doing so, we make use of the state-of-the-art pulsar timing package PINT, fitting, likelihood function maximization, and Bayesian analysis. We use selected pulsars timed within the NANOGrav project.

Research interests: I am completing my masters this summer from Aligarh Muslim University, India. During my final year, I have had the opportunity to study the Basics of QFT, QED and High Energy Physics. One of the topics of special interest for me was the neutrinos and their properties. They are produced in nuclear reactors, particle accelerators, atmosphere, in the core of earth and sun and many distant astrophysical bodies. They were produced even in the initial moments after the Big Bang Bang, with the energies ranging from micro-eV to PeV. One of the fascinating properties of neutrinos is their oscillations which is possible only if the neutrinos possess mass, violating the SM of particle physics. This is so far the only experimental evidence indicative of BSM physics. The field is full of avenues to explore and I want to pursue my PhD in this discipline. I hope this school will augment and increase my knowledge and provide the platform for future endeavours.

Sagar J C (he/him/his)

Research interests: I am completely drawn to the topic of string theory and quantum gravity. Gravity is the most mysterious phenomenon that exists in our universe. One important aspect of string theory/quantum gravity that I am completely interested in is, how it tries to explain dark matter. It says that our universe is 11 Dimensional, so dark matter candidates exist in the higher dimensions of Calabi–Yau manifolds. It also theorizes Dark matter candidates to be Superpartners of the standard model particles and hence tries to explain how LSPs are a good candidate. I am surprised at how dark matter interacts with our dimension only through Gravity, the fundamental force that was split first from the grand unified force (where all the fundamental forces were one) in the first 10^(43) seconds after the Big Bang. Moreover, every other fundamental force except gravity has its charge carrier particle whose existence is proven, but for gravity, gravitons are not proven yet. So, this makes gravity mysterious. I want to explore this aspect of string theory and quantum gravity on how it tries to explain dark matter by demystifying gravity. And I also know that this internship will help me to achieve it. Becoming a theoretical physicist in this field is my goal. I believe that my mathematical knowledge of Topology, Group theory, Integral and differential calculus, and my physics knowledge of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics and basics of classical field theory along with quantum mechanics will help me to complete the internship successfully.

Research interests: My research interest is combining new experimental discoveries with up-to-date theoretical studies to probe some of nature's most exciting and fundamental questions. Many questions can only be answered by a deep and simultaneous understanding of astrophysics and particle physics. Currently, I aim to use high-energy astrophysical neutrinos in order to probe the universe. IceCube's detection of the first high energy astrophysical neutrino flux confined cosmic neutrinos as the essential messenger to reveal an unobstructed view of the universe at wavelengths where it is opaque to light. As part of my Ph.D. research, I propose exploring the identification of likely sources of extragalactic neutrinos. Moreover, I wish to study the various aspects of neutrino physics to understand promising physics beyond the Standard Model.

I also presented a poster on Dark matter in Kashiwa Dark matter Symposium. The Research topic or the problem statement on which I am focusing right now is The Fuzzball Model of Black Holes, which is the quantum mechanical model of blackholes as depicted by String Theory. The Fuzzball model of Blackhole attempts to resolve two intractable problems that classic black holes pose for modern physics, which are the Information Paradox and point of Infinity Density (Singularity). The black hole tries to squeeze things to a point, but then the particles get stretched into these strings, and the strings start to stretch and expand and it becomes this fuzzball that expands to fill up the entirety of the black hole. The event horizons for both classic black holes and fuzzball lie precisely at the point where spacetime has warped to such an extent that falling bodies just achieve the speed of light. Replacing the convenient general relativistic picture of black holes as empty space, with all its mass located in its center, with a ball-shaped mess of interacting strings is fascinating and will open windows for further explanation in Cosmology.

Research interests: I am working on the target of opportunity searches for the Extreme Universe Space Observatory on a NASA Super Pressure Balloon 2 (EUSO-SPB2) mission, where we fly a Cherenkov telescope with a 6.4°x12.8° field of view. This payload is expected to launch in April/May 2023. The plan for this mission is to search for extensive airshower signals induced by tau lepton decays which originate from tau neutrino interactions inside the earth's crust. One of my roles in this mission is to gather possible neutrino sources such as Gamma ray bursts seen by Fermi, neutrino events from IceCube or binary neutron star mergers from LIGO-Virgo-Kagra, to anticipate where and when we need to point our telescope to maximize the likelihood of observation. With the limited field of view we will have to change the pointing of the telescope dramatically. This is why it is imperative to have a good understanding of the source location in the sky. The second role I have is to implement the target of opportunity method into NuSpaceSim, a NASA developed simulation framework, to calculate an end-to-end acceptance toward a given neutrino source as it drops below the earth's horizon.

Research interests: After a brief COVID related delay, the first 7 stations of the Radio Neutrino Observatory Greenland (RNO-G) are now operational. In the coming years, the construction of another 28+ stations will bring the array to full capacity as an instrument with an eye towards the ultra-high energy neutrino (>10 PeV) regime, creating another link in the fast paced and rapidly changing landscape of multi-messenger astronomy. Until now, the data volume of our two initial seasons has remained manageable. However, as the array continues to grow, we need to develop more and more clever processes regarding how to filter our data; we must throw away the noise and identify the most promising events. And thanks to COVID, just like RNO-G, my PhD project has also not gone as originally intended. When I started in the winter of 2019, the plan was to work in the lab to produce the amplifiers for our stations. Instead, I ended up stuck in my room for the better part of two years writing software and analyzing data (which can be tricky when the instrument has not yet been built). Nothing went to plan. But now, as I reach the end of this journey, everything is starting to fall into place. My deep learning based anomaly detection pipeline can help to identify anthropogenic and astrophysical sources, and we continue to learn more about the optimal signal processing of our detector. I have attended many virtual conferences and meetings during the last years, but have had few chances to interact in person with my peers. The NBIA Summer School gives me that opportunity, and would be an excellent review before my defense.

On the other hand I am also looking into self-interacting dark matter in left-right symmetric model.
