Making Light of Dark Matter at SNOLAB with Jean-Marie Coquillat

Join Patrick, Pheely, Liam, and special guest Jean-Marie Coquillat as we explore the depths of dark matter detection. After discussing the current state of the art of dark matter detectors at SNOLAB, we speak with Jean-Marie about his current research on the NEWS-G dark matter detector. Jean-Marie speaks about how the detector operates and how he is working on rejecting background noise the limits of dark matter detection are pushed. He also delves into other research related to his current PhD research at Queen's University. Finally, Liam ends the episode with a story about the driving force behind SNOLAB, Canadian Nobel Laureate Dr. Arthur B. McDonald.
