There are many BSM models to test, and writing new simulations for every model and experiment is challenging. I wrote a simulation and weighting framework that makes it easy to inject new BSM scenarios across many experiments called SIREN (Sampling and Injection for Rare EveNts). More details about the package can be found in the SIREN publication. We recently used SIREN to explore constraints on new explanations for MiniBooNE anomaly in our paper Phys. Rev. D 107, 055009.

Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills (CCM) is a novel beam dump experiment that can search for a wide variety of well-motivated BSM particles that couple to photons and mesons, and for which I am the analysis coordinator. We can search for Dark Matter, Meson-mediated explanations of short-baseline anomalies, and the hypothetical ATOMKI X17 particle. At present, my personal interest is searching for the QCD Axion!

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is the primary project of the US particle physics community. As this state-of-the-art detector is designed and constructed, we are discovering new methods to search for BSM physics. I have contributed phenomenology to the DUNE physics program at their high energy (~ 500 GeV) and low energy (~ 5 MeV) scales. Checkout Phys. Rev. D 104, 092015 for DUNE’s high energy sensitivity to BSM scenarios with atmospheric neutrinos, and Phys. Rev. D 108, 043005 for DUNE’s sensitivity to the NuX component of galactic supernova neutrinos.

As a graduate student, I participated in the IceCube South Pole Neutrino Observatory. My work was to measure properties of the astrophysical neutrino flux, that produces the highest energy neutrinos ever observed. While IceCube is usually associated with astrophysics, and its neutrino astronomy results, I am excited that my work also opened up opportunities for new BSM searches. A seminar I gave back in 2020 highlights some of this work that is further detailed in Phys. Rev. D 104, 022002.
