Let’s go @lzdarkmatter.bsky.social! 4.5 sigma (i.e., first robust statistical evidence >3 sigma) for coherent neutrino nucleus scattering from an astrophysical source. Oh, and the world’s leading limits on low-mass WIMPs to boot.
This experiment is ready for discovery with plenty more data to come!
Exciting update – tune in from 10am MT on the 8th of December to hear new results from the LZ Dark Matter Experiment – broadcast from a mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility!

Thought someone was having a bonfire but apparently the smoke from the wildfires on the North York Moors has reached us here in York. Blimey.

Happy Independence Day, India!
"We will replace Russian gas and oil with significant purchases of US LNG, oil and nuclear fuels," the European Commission President says in a statement.
Invest in US fossil fuels - a new strand in the strategy to decarbonise Europe? Not like 1.5C is already blown or anything…
Texas right now: 32% solar, 23% wind.
With nuclear, that's 61.6% zero-carbon right now, in Texas.

"The findings could also mean that the land carbon sink – which normally removes billions of tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere each year and is essential for meeting climate targets – is weakening decades earlier than expected"

@lzdarkmatter.bsky.social - onwards and upwards into entirely new and unexplored parameter space in the hunt for WIMP dark matter!
Well done all, and special shout out to @ucl.ac.uk’s Dr Amy Cottle and @umich.edu’s Scott Haselschwardt, who led this search.

New one (for me) at conference this morning: mainstream economist in the audience said that climate adaptation should be done by mass migration to northern regions that "benefit" from climate impacts.
Readers: I fucking lost it.

Made it into town ready for this, tomorrow: www.cheltenhamfestivals.org/events/quant...
Looking forward to talking Dark Matter, seeing colleagues, and my first Cheltenham Festival visit!
