Abstract

This is the story of a culture and its evolution and legacy. Beginning with the invention of the cyclotron at Berkeley, the path of further accelerator development at Cornell via the Los Alamos experience of the primary actors is described. The science done with the accelerators and on the accelerators and beams themselves is reviewed and brought up to the current time. The evolution of the user community and the sources of support for accelerators and science done with them are discussed at the appropriate places in the story.

Domain Adaptation for Simulation-based Dark Matter Searches with Strong Gravitational Lensing

“…A natural solution to this problem was to consider unseen dark matter compensating for this discrepancy. Presently, all efforts aimed at extracting a nongravitational signature of dark matter have come up empty (Goodman & Witten 1985;Drukier et al 1986;Fermi LAT Collaboration 2015;Geringer-Sameth et al 2015;Graham et al 2015;The Super-Kamiokande Collaboration 2015;MAGIC Collaboration 2016;Akerib et al 2017;Cui et al 2017;IceCube Collaboration et al 2017;Sirunyan et al 2017;Archambault et al 2017;Albert et al 2018;Aprile et al 2018;Du et al 2018;Aaboud et al 2019;Buch et al 2020;Froborg & Duffy 2020;Kannike et al 2020;Rico 2020). While this does not mean that dark matter cannot communicate with standard model (SM) particles, as its SM couplings may be strongly suppressed, there is also the possibility that such interactions do not exist.…”
