SUMMARY:ECAP Seminar: Tanguy Pierog\, KIT
DESCRIPTION:EPOS LHC-R : a global approach to solve the muon puzzle\nThe hadron production in the simulation of extensive air showers is a long standing problem and the origin of large uncertainties in the reconstruction of the mass of the high energy primary cosmic rays. Hadronic interaction models re-tuned after early LHC data give more consistent results among each other compared to the first generation of models\, but still can’t reproduce extended air shower data (EAS) consistently resulting in the so-called “muon puzzle”. Using more recent LHC data like in the QGSJET-III model improve further the description of EAS by such a model but is not enough to resolve the discrepancy. On the other hand\, the EPOS project is a theoretical global approach aiming at describing data from very fundamental electron-positron interactions to central heavy ions collisions. We will demonstrate that this approach can provide new constraints\, changing the correlation between the measured data at mid-rapidity and the predicted particle production at large rapidities\, which drive the EAS development. Thus\, using the same accelerator data\, different predictions are obtained in air shower simulations in much better agreement with the current air shower data (for both the maximum shower development depth Xmax and the energy spectrum of the muons at ground). Using the EPOS LHC-R model\, the detailed changes will be addressed and their consequences on EAS observable at various energies.

SUMMARY:ECAP Seminar: Ernst-Jan Buis\, Nikhef
DESCRIPTION:Fiber optic hydrophones for acoustic neutrino detection\nThe scientific potential for detecting cosmic neutrinos with energies at or above the GZK cut-off—the energy limit for cosmic rays due to interactions with the cosmic microwave background—has been extensively discussed in the literature. The recent observation of a very high-energy event by the KM3NeT telescope has further fueled this discussion\, as it may represent the first detection of a GZK neutrino. However\, despite this remarkable result\, the extremely low expected flux of ultra-high-energy neutrinos (Eν > 10^18 eV) clearly indicates that their detection will require a telescope with an effective volume exceeding 100 km^3. Acoustic detection offers a promising approach for observing these ultra-high energy cosmic neutrinos. The sound waves generated by their energy deposition in the deep sea can propagate over many kilometers with little attenuation\, making it feasible to instrument a vast volume of water for neutrino detection. Achieving this requires the development of acoustic detection technologies capable of supporting a large-scale\, deep-sea sensor network. Fiber-optic hydrophone technology stands out as a promising candidate for such a network\, combining the necessary sensitivity to detect the faint acoustic signals from neutrino interactions with the potential for cost-effective large-scale deployment. Nikhef is actively developing this fiber-optic hydrophone technology to meet the sensitivity and operational requirements of deep-sea environments. In this presentation\, I will report on the progress of the hydrophone development and outline the plans toward a future acoustic neutrino telescope — opening a window to explore the universe beyond the GZK horizon.

SUMMARY:ECAP Seminar: Kavitha Arur\, University of Maryland / NASA
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to and Science highlights from the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer\nThe Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a NASA Small Explorer Mission resulting from the collaboration of NASA Marshall Space Flight Center\, the Italian Space Agency and other partners. IXPE has been successfully performing science operations since January 2022. IXPE provides unique and powerful X-ray polarization capabilities and has been providing crucial insights into our understanding of X-ray production and the geometry of several objects such as neutron stars and pulsar wind nebulae\, as well as stellar and supermassive black holes\, among others. In this talk\, I will give an overview of the mission\, science highlights from IXPE\, and upcoming opportunities to get involved.
