SUMMARY:Philipp Mertsch - Cosmic ray anisotropies: unravelling sources and transport
DESCRIPTION:The arrival directions of Galactic cosmic rays are highly isotropic. This is expected from the presence of turbulent magnetic fields in our Galactic environment that repeatedly scatter charged cosmic rays during propagation. However\, various cosmic ray observatories have identified weak anisotropies of various angular sizes and with relative intensities of up to a level of 1 part in 1000. On large scales\, the observed amplitude is much smaller than predicted by models of cosmic ray diffusion. On small scales\, the appearance of small-scale anisotropies down to an angular size of 10 degrees is surprising. I will argue that taking into account the intermittent nature of the turbulent magnetic field could resolve these issues. The small-scale anisotropies in particular reflect the turbulent magnetic field in our Galactic neighbourhood and provide a new handle for testing its structure.

SUMMARY:Alexander Fieguth - XENON1T & the challenge of direct dark matter detection
DESCRIPTION:Driven by the profound evidence from cosmology and astronomy the existence of dark matter is well-established as a part of our universe. Despite the fact\, that there is five times more dark matter than baryonic matter out in the universe\, its nature remains puzzling up to now. The promising idea of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) being the constituents of this form of matter is pursued with great effort. Especially their direct detection with earth-bound detectors has grown large interest within the last years as the technologies have reached sensitivities for WIMP interactions with baryonic matter at cross sections in the zeptobarn regime. One leading detector type to look for these interactions is the dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC)\, which is the technology pursed by the XENON collaboration. Within the XENON dark matter project different detectors of this kind have been built\, growing in size and knowledge. The current detector XENON1T\, which is the first ton-scale dual-phase xenon dark matter detector\, utilizes 3.2 tons of xenon in order to search for WIMP-nucleon interactions. While it is running with the lowest background ever achieved in a dark matter experiment so far\, a first blind data set has been analyzed and shows that it is the most sensitive detector for the search of WIMPs with masses above 20 GeV/cm². Once XENON1T has reached its science goal\, XENONnT\, a larger detector within the same infrastructure\, will take the challenge to the next level.

SUMMARY:Harm Schoorlemmer - Observing the TeV gamma-ray sky with the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory
DESCRIPTION:The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) collected more than a year of data in its full configuration. With its large field of view and high uptime it is exposed to two-thirds of the sky every day. From the light distribution in the arrays water-Cherenkov tanks we discriminate between electromagnetic and hadronic showers\, which enable us to study the cosmic ray and gamma ray sky separately. In this contribution\, we will give an overview of the detector and the reconstruction performance. In addition\, the TeV gamma-ray sky as observed by HAWC will be presented and we will discuss its major astrophysical results.

SUMMARY:Livia Ludhova - JUNO: the first multi-kton liquid scintillator based neutrino detector
DESCRIPTION:The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a neutrino experiment under construction near Jiangmen\, China. Its main component  will be a spherical 20 kton liquid scintillator detector placed in a 700 m deep underground laboratory. The experiment is designed for the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy by measuring oscillation effects of neutrinos from two nuclear power plants at 53 km baseline. In addition to that\, JUNO has the potential to increase the precision of already measured oscillation parameters and it can give a major contribution in the field of geoneutrinos. Astrophysical measurements of solar\, supernova\, atmospheric and potentially of DSNB neutrinos are also part of the physics programme. The seminar will review the physics goals\, design\, as well as the status of the JUNO project.
