Alec Peck has previously worked with the ALICE collaboration at CERN, looking for exotic forms of matter, and now works as part of the DarkSide Collaboration at UC Riverside. With HEPCAT, Alec is assisting in the design of xenon-doped liquid argon detectors for dark matter searches and neutrino physics, including CEvNS from terrestrial reactors. His lab will test cryogenics, optics and VUV SiPM detector capabilities for a new generation of low-energy detectors. In his free time, he sings from the heart and plays trombone from the diaphragm. |
