ANAIS and COSINE joint analysis see no hints of the DAMA/LIBRA annual modulation. Excellent work that leaves almost no room for dark matter interpretation of this intriguing signal. journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...

Evening run in Benasque.

Well-deserved breakfast today.

The dark matter group (projects.ift.uam-csic.es/thedeas/) at IFT has developed one of the optical detectors for the MIGDAL experiment, a crucial component for correctly interpreting the results of direct searches of this invisible side of the universe. www.ift.uam-csic.es/en/news/ift-...

El grupo de materia oscura del IFT ha participado en el desarrollo de instrumentación para el experimento #MIGDAL, que busca confirmar un nuevo método de detección de #materiaoscura a través de un fenómeno aún no observado: el efecto Migdal Lee más: projects.ift.uam-csic.es/outreach_new...

A great pleasure to visit the Higgs Centre at Edinburgh University. I talked about our recent papers arxiv.org/abs/2412.09595 and arxiv.org/abs/2412.19890 on a new way to probe Axion-Like Particles in neutrino water Cherenkov detectors. Here are the slides: projects.ift.uam-csic.es/thedeas/wp-c...

As part of the UNESCO #WeekOfSound (@weekofsound.bsky.social) , the Edinburgh College of Arts (@edincollegeofart.bsky.social) is organising a series of events to celebrate and continue the legacy of Dr Rebecca Collins. digital.eca.ed.ac.uk/weekofsound/... projects.ift.uam-csic.es/thedeas/reme...

Energy, not forms, not figures: Hear one of Rebecca Collins' final works, a collaboration with Adam Matschulat, next Tuesday at the #WeekOfSound in #Edinburgh digital.eca.ed.ac.uk/weekofsound/...

UNESCO Week of Sound – Concert – ‘Stolen voices and parameters for understanding uncertainty’ @weekofsound.bsky.social A concert of electroacoustic music and sound art from projects by the late Rebecca Collins. 7pm, Tue 18 Feb, Edinburgh More info on P4UU projects.ift.uam-csic.es/p4uu/

SUPRISE 2025 Supernova Probes of Invisible Sectors There are still available slots for contributed talks! 🗓️ 11-14th March 2025 📍IFT Madrid @iftuamcsic.bsky.social workshops.ift.uam-csic.es/SUPRISE2025 Abstract submission deadline: 15 Feb 2025

We just released a new paper! Disentangling axion-like particle couplings to nucleons via a delayed signal in Super-Kamiokande from a future supernova arxiv.org/pdf/2412.19890 David Alonso-González, David Cerdeño, Marina Cermeño, Andres D. Perez projects.ift.uam-csic.es/thedeas/

So, it turns out we don't understand arXiv deadlines very well and we accidentally released a new paper today (we wanted it to come out in January) 😆
