Presentation
We have revisited the resonant conversion of the QCD axion and an axion-like particle (ALP), where the condition of the level crossing between the QCD axion and ALP is strictly defined. We perform the numerical calculations to comoving axion numbers, by which the adiabatic condition of the resonant conversion of the QCD axion and ALP is revised. We find a parameter space where the ALP can...

Presentation
The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) is a direct Dark Matter search experiment designed to observe nuclear recoils induced by WIMPs. However, it is also sensitive to Dark Matter particle candidates beyond the standard WIMP paradigm, which could create electron recoil signals in the cryogenic silicon and germanium detectors. The pool of candidates is rich and includes light Dark...

Presentation
We propose a novel experiment to search for axion dark matter which differentiates the phase velocities of the left and right-handed polarized photons. Our optical cavity measures the difference of the resonant frequencies between two circular-polarizations of the laser beam. The design of our cavity adopts double-pass configuration to realize a null experiment and give a high common mode...

Presentation
Is supersymmetry losing ground as a compelling extension of the Standard Model? Or is there still enough experimental evidence to support our faith in it? In search of quantitative answers, I review the latest GAMBIT results for various supersymmetric models covering the CMSSM, NUHM1 and 2, MSSM7 and MSSM9.

Presentation
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment operated at the Sanford
Underground Research Facility from 2013 to 2016. The detector was
instrumented as a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC),
providing energy measurement, position information in 3D, and single-scatter
event identification. After decommissioning the instrument, the collaboration
continues to exhaustively exploit...
