MPI für Radioastronomie<p>Three weeks ago, the scientific journal Nature <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/@nature" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>nature</span></a></span> reported the discovery of the most energetic <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/neutrino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neutrino</span></a> ever observed. Its energy is 16,000 times greater than the strongest particle collisions created by the Large Hadron Collider and corresponds to 30 times the energy needed to press a computer key.</p><p>The neutrino was discovered in an underwater observatory in the Mediterranean, one of three neutrino detectors in water - two in the Mediterranean and one at Lake Baikal. At the geographic South Pole, there is the <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/IceCube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IceCube</span></a> neutrino detector under the ice. Other detectors exist underground in China, Italy, and Japan.</p><p>All these <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/detectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>detectors</span></a> are not located on the Earth's surface because the Earth itself acts like a <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/telescope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>telescope</span></a> for neutrinos. Neutrinos are extremely light, electrically neutral particles that interact very weakly with matter and pass through the Earth. When they collide with atomic nuclei, charged particles are produced that move faster than light in water or ice, emitting blue light that is captured.</p><p>Water and ice are ideal media for detecting neutrinos because they provide large volumes to detect these particles while shielding against cosmic radiation and other disturbances. IceCube even utilizes 1 cubic kilometer of ice.</p><p>Neutrinos are the second most abundant particles in the universe, after photons, but are difficult to study because they interact so little with matter. Interestingly, dark matter and dark energy, which make up 95% of the universe, also interact very weakly with normal matter, while the remaining 5% consists of elements like <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/hydrogen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hydrogen</span></a> and <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/helium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>helium</span></a>, of which only 0.5% is visible matter (such as <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/stars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>stars</span></a>).</p>
Soh Kam Yung<p>"On Wednesday, a team of researchers announced that they got extremely lucky. The team is building a detector on the floor of the Mediterranean Sea that can identify those rare occasions when a neutrino happens to interact with the seawater nearby. And while the detector was only 10 percent of the size it will be on completion, it managed to pick up the most energetic neutrino ever detected."</p><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/02/most-energetic-neutrino-yet-seen-smashes-through-seafloor-detector/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/science/2025/0</span><span class="invisible">2/most-energetic-neutrino-yet-seen-smashes-through-seafloor-detector/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Neutrinos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neutrinos</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Detectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Detectors</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/ParticlePhysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ParticlePhysics</span></a></p>

My primary foci at the moment are top quark physics through the lens of EFT (effective field theory), and FPGA programming for the purpose of development, testing, and operations of detector electronics.</p><p>Before CMS, I worked on the SuperCDMS experiment looking for dark matter. I developed the level 1 trigger for the upcoming SuperCDMS run at SNOLAB, and also developed the simulation of the transition edge sensors and charge sensors that are part of the SuperCDMS detectors.</p><p>Before SuperCDMS, I worked on the CDF (Collider Detector at Fermilab) experiment. There, I studied the top quark and the Higgs boson. I performed the world's first-ever published search for ttH production, and measured the forward-backward asymmetry in top-antitop production at the Tevatron.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/topquark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>topquark</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/EFT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EFT</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/fpga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fpga</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/darkmatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>darkmatter</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/simulations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>simulations</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/detectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>detectors</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Higgs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Higgs</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Higgsboson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Higgsboson</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/CMS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CMS</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/CERN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CERN</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/LHC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LHC</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Tevatron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tevatron</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/CDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CDF</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Fermilab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fermilab</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/darkmatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>darkmatter</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SuperCDMS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SuperCDMS</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SNOLAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SNOLAB</span></a></p>
