Power and Signal over fiber for DUNE's vertical drift LArTPC
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long baseline (1300 km) neutrino oscillation experiment. Neutrino beam measurements will be performed through near and far detectors. The far detector consists of four modules, installed 1,5 km deep underground, based on Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) technology to detect particles. In this talk I will discuss about the Signal and Power over fiber, being developed to operate at the Vertical Drift LArTPC.

A long time ago in a pp collision far, far away: searching for displaced vertices at CMS
Many BSM models predict new long-lived particles (LLPs) that could be produced at the LHC and travel measurable distances before decaying. This talk will focus on a background-free search for LLPs that aims to reconstruct decay vertices inside the CMS beam pipe using charged particle tracks, along with potential future extensions to the search. In addition, this talk will also present studies of silicon pixel sensors that will be installed in the upgraded CMS tracking detector for the HL-LHC.

CCDs for DM and ν detection: past, present and future
This talk will review the use of Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) in dark matter and neutrino experiments. In addition, it will discuss the Skipper-CCD technology (single-electron counting sensors), results of the ongoing Skipper-CCD experiments, and efforts to build OSCURA (an array of ~20,000 Skipper-CCDs for sub-GeV dark matter search).

Tracing the local dark matter distribution
This talk will review the local dark matter distribution of Milky Way-like galaxies extracted from state-of-the-art cosmological simulations, and its implications for dark matter direct detection. It will also discuss how the dark matter component of the Gaia radially anisotropic stellar population and the Large Magellanic Cloud can impact the results.
