Mariano Sigman is one of the most outstanding neuroscientists in the world, with over 150 publications in the most prestigious scientific journals. He is also passionate about experimentation and has worked with magicians, chess masters, musicians, athletes and visual artists to bring his knowledge of neuroscience to different aspects of human culture and apply it in different contexts. He has participated twice (2016 and 2017) in the TED global events in Vancouver, the second with Dan Ariely.

Abstract: Bound electron-hole pairs, known as excitons, let us realize a plethora of bosonic correlated phases in the solid state. In recent years, the ability to manipulate excitonic states of matter has advanced significantly thanks to novel materials, most notably transition metal chalcogenides such as Ta2NiSe5, TiSe2, and WS2/MoS2 heterobilayers, providing us new access to this rich phase diagram.

We present a measurement of electron-neutrino interactions from the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beam using the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber to address the nature of the excess of low-energy interactions observed by the MiniBooNE collaboration. Three independent electron-neutrino searches are performed across multiple single-electron final states, including an exclusive search for two-body scattering events with a single proton, a semi-inclusive search for pionless events, and a fully inclusive search for events containing all hadronic final states.
