Remote - Rafał, Sławomir, Syed, Megha, X
Minutes:
- General:
- Technical issues with the Zoom connection - need to be understood with the help of the
tech expert, and try checking the setup at least 10 minutes earlier. - Link to join the WhatsApp group for more informal communication -

- Agenda:
- Introductions of members - We currently have 24 members from 4 departments, and still expanding!
- Jerzy’s NZ64 group has 5 scintillator detectors, measuring low-energy background gamma rays, with 3 TB of cosmic muon data. Can discuss collaborating on an astrophysical project, based on the analysis of this data.
- Add self-introductory slides.
- Presentation by Shreya on “The unobstructed view of the high-energy universe through Neutrinos”.
- Overview of the discovery of neutrinos
- Different detection strategies for low-, high-, and ultra-high-energy neutrinos.
- P-ONE will be sensitive to high-energy neutrinos.
- Astrophysical source association of neutrinos so far
- Sky coverage of different neutrino telescopes
- QnA
- David -> Is the galactic center covered for high-energy neutrino detections? Yes, and especially by P-ONE.
- Piotr and Suvendu discussed the possibility of a high-energy neutrino originating from our galaxy. Maybe some exotic physics at play?
- Piotr, Swathi, and Shreya discussed utilizing neutrino observations, not just for source associations, but also for other known or unknown physics/astrophysics.
- Jerzy -> Maybe also investigate low-energy neutrinos, which may have terrestrial and military applications.
- Forum activities
- The webpage https://astrophys.ifj.edu.pl/ is being developed by Megha, Sarah, and Paweł to create sub-pages for different aspects of the Forum
- Syed’s May seminar will be postponed. Need volunteers for the next seminars, and any topic recommendations are also welcome. Suvendu will update on his
availability for a seminar. - Shared files on the Dysk server, and will be filled with more documents.
- Task responsibilities
- Sándor will add our Forum meetings to the IFJ Indico servers for future meetings.
