Junsong Lin

Junsong Lin joined the McKinsey group at UC Berkeley physics in October 2016. He received a B.S. degree from Nankai University in China in 2012. His D. Phil. study was performed at University of Oxford in UK from 2012 to 2016, with the thesis on operating a photomultiplier tube at milli-Kelvin temperature for rare event searches.

Research Interests

Junsong Lin is currently working on dark matter direct detection. He is a member of the LUX and the subsequent LZ collaboration, both dual-phase xenon experiments. He also works on R&D for the HeRALD experiment, a superfluid helium detector with calorimeter readout. Junsong Lin's research area is non-accelerator particle physics and low-temperature physics. He is particularly interested in studying the low energy response from dark matter detectors. To do it, he is developing photoneutron calibration sources. He is also studying the scintillation light yield for superfluid He-4 in low energy.
