HUNTER- A Table-Top New Particle Search (for a big table...)

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

Laser atom traps and ion microscopes are techniques normally associated with AMO physics (Atomic, Molecular and Optical). The HUNTER Experiment (Heavy Unseen Neutrinos from Total Energy-momentum Reconstruction) applies these techniques to a search for an as-yet unknown, but very well motivated new elementary particle - the sterile neutrino. We describe our experiment using the classic particle physics method of missing mass reconstruction to mount a sensitive search for sterile neutrinos with masses in the range of tens of keV.
