Some meeting etiquette and procedure…
if you are not currently presenting, speaking to the meeting, and are not the Session Chair, please make sure your microphone is muted.
perhaps if you are to address the meeting (e.g. during question time), please state your name and maybe also institution, to give some context, and so we all know who you are!
it is up to presenters to use Zoom’s Screenshare on their own computers to display their presentation files to the workshop (unless an alternative has been arranged in advance). Please make sure that you know how to use Screenshare before it’s your turn to present. (The linked files are for backups in case something goes significantly awry, as well as for archiving.)
Uploading presentations
If you are unable to upload your presentation to the Centre’s Confluence site, please email your presentation file directly to padric.mcgee@adelaide.edu.au
Note: if you have a presentation that you do not want to upload to this page (which is a public page), they can be uploaded here instead: 2021 Annual Meeting - (Private) ARC CoE for Dark Matter Particle Physics - Confluence (atlassian.net)
If you do have login access to the Centre’s Confluence site, please login as usual and follow these steps:
click on the Edit icon (the pencil icon at the top-right corner of the page (note that you may need to scroll up the page for it to be visible);
scroll down the page until you find your assigned timeslot in the Agenda (below);
click in the “File” box for your timeslot;
click on the “Files and images” icon at the top of this browser window (6th from right near the centre of the window);
click “Upload a file” to upload the file from your computer;
once it has uploaded, it will be highlighted in blue with a tick mark in the top-right corner;
click “Insert a file” to place the file link at the location where your cursor was in the third step in this process;
click “Publish” in the top-right corner of this browser window in order to save and publish your edit to the page.
NOTE: if there are multiple file links in one timeslot, not all of them may be visible at once. If so, hover your cursor over that timeslot in the Agenda, and one or more arrows should appear; you can use these left and right arrows to scroll through the multiple file links.
Agenda
NOTE: the tables for the Agenda may be wider than your browser window. In this case, at the very end of the Agenda table for each day, there should be a horizontal scroll bar which will allow you to scroll across to the rest of the table. This horizontal scroll bar will be visible only when you are viewing the very end of each day’s Agenda.
Note: times are given in AEDT. Adelaide is 0.5 hours behind; Perth is 3 hours behind.

10:30 (45 mins) | Keynote presentation - Low-mass DM detection | Noah Kurinsky, Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Noah got his PhD from Stanford in 2018 working on the SuperCDMS experiment, using new detector concepts to probe sub-GeV dark matter. From 2018-2021, Noah was a Lederman Fellow at Fermilab, where he spearheaded efforts to combine concepts from quantum information science and particle physics to open new windows into the study of dark matter. He joined SLAC in 2021, starting a new lab focused on meV-GeV mass dark matter detection with quantum sensors. Noah is a member of the SuperCDMS collaboration, a founding member of the BREAD axion search experiment, and leads R&D programs into novel qubit architectures and advanced techniques for phonon and photon sensing in low-background environments. |
