Oral invited talk Beyond the BeEST

Speaker

David Moore (Yale)

Description

I will describe ideas to use optically trapped nanoparticles to search for sterile neutrinos or other new physics by directly measuring the momentum of nuclear recoils from the decay of radioisotopes within the particles. These techniques can provide complementarity to the energy resolving measurements performed by the BeEST, and can allow a number of isotopes to be studied.
