10:30 → 10:40 Plans for ATLAS/LHC postdoc

Orateurs: Stephane JEZEQUEL (LAPP), Tetiana Hryn'ova (LAPP)

DM TSP postdoc Jared Little, working with Arturo Sanchez Pineda, Stephane Jezequel, Tanya Berger-Hryn'ova, Caterina Doglioni + her team

Goal: Make ATLAS DM analyses code/results available in ESCAPE SW catalogue to reinterpretation & comparison with other experiments

I) ATLAS dilepton resonant analysis - 1st test-case

1) Make dilepton RECAST available in ESCAPE SW catalogue for reinterpretation [might need ATLAS reconstructed signal MC samples as input]

2) Make dedicated truth-based code available in ESCAPE SW catalogue to reinterpret existing ATLAS fiducial xsection limits [input truth signal MC samples]

3) Decide on the benchmark DM MC samples to use

II) ATLAS monojet analysis- 2nd test-case

III) Extend this approach to other ATLAS DM analyses.

10:40 → 10:50 Plans for KM3Net postdoc

Orateur: Dr Kay Graf (ECAP - University of Erlangen)

- FAU PostDoc Mikhail Smirnov hired for both TSPs; supported by Kay Graf - started 01/10/2021

- Plans:

• coordination of KM3NeT contributions (CNRS-CPPM, INFN, NWO-Nikhef and FAU) - total 18 PM
• harden KM3NeT pipelines for DM IRFs and sensitivities (fast response, reproducibility, FAIRness)
  • start with standard DM searches and simulated data; from highest-level data and push towards lower level data (depending on availability as open data or MoUs)
  • extend to common analyses (cross-experiments)
• orchestration of processing and results with the ESCAPE services
  • software to OSSR
  • data to Data Lake

10:50 → 11:00 Plans for CERN postdoc

Orateurs: Simone Campana (CERN), Xavier Espinal (CERN)

11:00 → 11:10 Updates on recruitment / plans for DARKSIDE and Gamma-ray postdocs

Orateurs: Francesca Calore (LAPTh, CNRS), Pasquale Dario Serpico (LAPTh, Annecy-le-vieux), Valerio Ippolito (Harvard University), tommaso boccali (INFN)

LAPTh/LAPP postdoc recruited, starting 1st Nov

goal: Investigate sensitivity of current and future TeV telescopes, notably CTA, to DM signals

Short-term milestones: 

• Complete the code release for gamma-ray limits within ESCAPE catalog (C. Eckner, on-boarding talk for OSSR done)
• Interface with theorists DM tool: MicrOmegas 
• Understand how to make common plot for WIMP and how ID limits  fits

Scientific goals: 

• Enlarge the spectrum of DM models, e.g. DM signals dependent on velocity distributions in the target of interest (models with Sommerfeld enhancements, resonances…), or bound state formation 
• How to adapt the code for the significant increase in the number of Dsph expected to be discovered with LSST/Vera R. Observatory? 
• How to extend it to the CTA case?

ESCAPE services:

• software catalog mostly
• perhaps data lake (depending on data availability)
• analysis platform (not clear what ESCAPE can offer)

Capacity requirements:

• The storage capacity can amount to O(100 GB) (weekly photon files and spacecraft data). For CTA it is generally not as large since mock data must be created.

• The occupied computing resources are relatively small. One can do that on a laptop in a small amount of time. A single multi-core machine is usually sufficient.

• The analysis platform should have a CPU with a RAM of at least 64 GB and it should allow for multi-threading. Additional GPUs would be beneficial for some projects that one might want to plan and conduct

• Codes are run on python notebooks (requirement of analysis platform)
