MicroBooNE's New Result, brought out on Oct 27, 2021!...

• This result asks: What fraction of the MiniBooNE anomaly is due to electron neutrino interactions?
• Our group (with Cambridge, Columbia and Harvard) has a prediction from May 2021, now accepted to Physical Review, that says 20% of the MiniBooNE excess is due to electron neutrinos.
• The MIT group was a leader in the Deep-Learning-based analysis for this result! Here is a webpage about this result (You can get the papers here!)
• Here is an interview of MIT graduate student Nick Kamp, explaining these results!
• Here is fun reading: an article by Gabriel Collin from the Summer 2017 School of Science News letter about our work on Deep-Learning for Neutrino Physics
• And here is Taritree Wongjirad's 2016 Pappalardo Symposium on Deep Learning applied to neutrino reconstruction.
  
• There is more about MicroBooNE and MIT's contributions to the experiment on this webpage

More Particle Physics For Everyone...

• CosmicWatch Our $100 Desktop Muon Counter project...because everyone needs one!
  The Desktop Muon Counter was featured in Physics Today.
• We wrote a Nature Blog about our recent Lorentz violation search on the IceCube Experiment.
• And we answered Three Questions about the IceCube observation of a 4 billion year old neutrino!
• Here is A booklet about neutrino physics by students in my class by students in my class (8.226-"43 Orders of Magnitude") that was produced for outreach at the MIT Museum for the Neutrino 2014 Conference. It is a little bit old, but still a good read!
  

• Meet my research group -- Our neutrino experiments are described and linked here.
• My papers, as listed on Spires (with links to arXiv)
