“Study of scintillation light collection, production and propagation in a 4 tonne dual-phase LArTPC ” which is based on the light detection system provided by CIEAMT/IFAE. The 4 tonne detector was the prototype stage before the 700 tonne protoDUNE-DP detector for which CIEMAT/IFAE also provided the PMTs.

“Searches for Compact Binary Coalescence Events using Neural Networks in LIGO/Virgo Second Observation Period ” by A. Menendez et al., has been accepted for publication in Physical Review D.

Last Thursday the CLUE (Cherenkov Light Ultraviolet Experiment) container arrived at IFAE from the ORM. It now occupies the place where the Barcelona Raman LIDAR was placed. It will become a R&D platform for developing LIDAR for cherenkov astronomy and various other possible applications.

A Qubit evaporator is being installed in the QCT Lab. This system is necessary for in-house qubit development and production.

“Graph neural network for 3D classification of ambiguities and optical crosstalk in scintillator-based neutrino detectors ” has been published in Phys. Rev. D 103, 032005. The publication is part of the PhD thesis of Sebastian Pina-Otey, an industrial PhD student of IFAE and Grupo AIA and is related to the ND280 Upgrade project.

The HERD 9th international WORKSHOP (online) happened between 22-23 February Manel Martínez, Luis Fariña and Javier Rico were attending

“Search for new phenomena in events with an energetic jet and missing transverse momentum in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector” has been submitted to PRD.

“Search for charged Higgs bosons decaying into a top quark and a bottom quark at sqrt(s)=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector using the full Run 2 luminosity” has been submitted to JHEP this week.
