[W178] Kevin Kelly: What's lurking around the corner at neutrino experiments?

[Latin American Webinars on Physics]

Dear colleagues, 

In about 80 minutes, we will host the webinar "What's lurking around the corner at neutrino experiments?" Our speaker will be Kevin Kelly from Texas A&M University, USA.

Abstract: 

In addition to their scientific goals of studying neutrino interactions and oscillations, modern-day neutrino facilities offer new approaches for searching for beyond-the-Standard-Model physics. Typically, such searches are driven by the copious amount of SM mesons produced in the proton-proton interactions, where those SM mesons can decay into new BSM particles of interest. In this talk, I will highlight the complementary nature of the electromagnetic showers that proceed inside of the targets in producing new BSM particles, such as dark photons and leptophilic gauge bosons. In doing so, I will demonstrate a new purpose-built tool, PETITE, designed for phenomenological studies of dark sectors in these environments.
