Abstract:
Since their discovery in 1956, neutrinos have been a tool for fundamental research, a vector for many discoveries, and the framework for pioneering progress in today’s detection technology. Indeed, many of the 1950s developments are at the core of today’s transparent and monolithic detectors exploiting light from Cherenkov radiation and/or scintillation. Despite their remarkable success, which has collectively led to several Nobel Prizes, these detectors have been limited by their inability to identify the particle impinging on the detector. This limitation has shaped the overall experimental methodology for over a century, relying on cumbersome shielding, including deep underground locations, as the only possible solutions. With the invention of LiquidO (2012), detection and topological imaging are now possible using light detectors, thereby overcoming a major challenge, opening a new generation of physics potential. This implies we may distinguish the neutrino signals to unprecedented levels from the main backgrounds, so neutrino detectors may ultimately be deployed on the surface. In this seminar, I will cover the novel LiquidO technology, which is poised to provide a major step forward in our ability to address many challenges today that are currently impossible in neutrino science. I will provide a few examples and highlight some of the main funded projects today that are pushing that potential.
