Guest Lecture at Instrumentation Sensors and Actuators
October 4, 2017 When Particle Physics and Space Science interact, anything can happen. The NYUAD Astroparticle Lab was involved in a CubeSat project aiming at measuring Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes. How? They built and flew a pretty compact gamma detector, with star-of-art performances. Thanks to Senior Lecturer Professor Philip, the NYUAD Astroparticle Lab was able to share […]

September 22-24, 2017 Dr. Adriano Di Giovanni attended the LIDINE workshop (held every two years) at SLAC (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) in Stanford (US). The aim of the conference was to bring together the Liquid Argon and Liquid Xenon “communities”. The well-attended workshop was therefore extremely technical and detailed. Dr. Di Giovanni presented the first […]

August 14, 2017 Dr. Adriano Di Giovanni has been Run Coordinator for one month (August, 14 – September, 14). He was the first Xenon1T Run Coordinator who took care of all the data transferring and processing. He improved the offline monitoring and daily check scripts and, most important, he set the best weekly exposure for Dark […]

June 30, 2017 As usual, the majority of the Astroparticle Lab spent several weeks at the Gran Sasso Laboratory. One day, in particular, the lab met at Gran Sasso Science Institute. This summer, the lab brought Carlo Mussolini, a physics student from Oxford who likes to work with the lab, with them. Mussolini worked on […]

June 22, 2017 This week, Dr. Mohamed Lotfi Benabderrahmane, went to the PASCOS 2017 conference held in Madrid. The main topics of the conference dealt with cosmology, particle, and astroparticle physics. Most of the talks were theory oriented. Nevertheless, there were a few talks that showed some interesting results like the latest results from LIGO, […]
