You’re sending particles across a country? The Tokai to Kamioka experiment Neutrinos are a tiny subatomic particle with surprising properties under active study. In particular, neutrinos oscillate, that is, they convert from one type of neutrino to another, is a surprising phenomenon under active study. The origin of neutrino mass...

Gamma Rays from the Littlest Galaxies: Tracing Accretion and Dark Matter in the Low-Mass Universe Now in its 17th year of operation, the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) continues to transform our understanding of the smallest galaxies in the Universe. Dwarf galaxies host some of the most extreme environments known---from ultra-faint systems...

Prospects for pulsars and pulsar associations in multi-messenger astrophysics with population synthesis Population synthesis seeks to integrate the full framework of stellar evolution with predictions for observations of different products of said evolution, potentially allowing constraints to be placed on multiple evolutionary steps at the same time. It has become a...

The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment Every time researchers have pushed the energy boundary in particle physics we have found something new about our Universe. Recently, IceCube has demonstrated that Neutrino Telescopes can use neutrinos from the cosmos as excellent tools to continue this exploration. To unlock the true potential of...

EPOS LHC-R : a global approach to solve the muon puzzle The 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...
