The current age of #GravitationalWave astronomy is breathtaking. The next age will be mind blowing. Between #LISA and at least one large-scale ground-based #Laser #Interferometer, plus the #Pulsar Network and #Cosmic #Microwave #Background approaches, there will be coverage from the Planck scale/birth of the universe to the merging of #Sueprmassive #BlackHoles and even #Supernova explosions.

I am really excited about the effort from experiments like #ANAIS and #COSINUS to definitely understand the "quenching factor" of sodium iodide crystals.
NaI has appeared in many experiments, and increasingly in #darkmatter experiments. The QF relates energy in electrons (usually what you see in an experiment) to the energy of the original nuclear recoil. The QF is essential to proper interpretation of experiments using NaI.

Lessons from the #TAUP conference:
1. The fundamental nature of the #neutrino, as a #fermion, is a crucial goal … and one that continues to prove challenging.
2. The cosmic microwave background (#CMB) has at least two big questions left, and they are hard: what is the polar structure of the light itself, and what can gravitational microlensing of that light tell us about large-scale structure of the more recent universe?
