<title>XV Latin American Symposium on High Energy Physics</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Latin American Symposium on High Energy Physics (SILAFAE)&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is an event with a tradition of over 25 years, that brings together the regional and international community of particle physics and related areas such as cosmology, gravitation and astroparticle physics. The conference has been the main regional hub for discussions on topics in the relevant fields, knowledge updates and the exploration of new ideas and perspectives towards the future. The event also promotes the expansion of regional and international cooperation as well as the professional development of young scientists and students.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the 15th edition&amp;nbsp;of the SILAFAE series, which will&amp;nbsp;take place in Mexico City, Mexico, at the beautiful campus of &lt;a href="https://www.cinvestav.mx/"&gt;Cinvestav&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The conference format consists of a series of plenary and parallel talks covering a range of theoretical and experimental topics. An active posters session is also planned.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The SILAFAE conference started in 1996 in M&amp;eacute;rida-Mexico, followed by editions in San Juan-Puerto Rico (1998), Cartagena de Indias-Colombia (2000), Aguas de Lindoia-Brazil (2002),&amp;nbsp;Lima-Peru (2004), Puerto Vallarta-Mexico (2006), San Carlos de Bariloche-Argentina (2009), Valpara&amp;iacute;so-Chile (2010), &lt;a href="https://www.ictp-saifr.org/2012-silafae-workshop/"&gt;S&amp;atilde;o Paulo-Brazil (2012)&lt;/a&gt;, Medell&amp;iacute;n-Colombia (2014), &lt;a href="https://ecfm.usac.edu.gt/silafae/"&gt;Antigua-Guatemala (2016) &lt;/a&gt;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://indico.cern.ch/event/701855/"&gt;Lima-Peru (2018)&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; The conference was cancelled in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic but a&amp;nbsp;special, remote version&amp;nbsp;took place in 2021 in &lt;a href="http://www.ictp-saifr.org/silafae-xii-21/"&gt;virtual S&amp;atilde;o Paulo-Brazil&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;span style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color:#000000"&gt;Returning in-person for the 2022 edition, the event took place in&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="https://indico.cern.ch/event/1151741/"&gt;Quito-Ecuador&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

 <abstract>Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills (CCM) is a 10 ton liquid argon scintillation detector at Los Alamos National Laboratory for the study of neutrino and beyond Standard Model physics. It is located 23 m from the stopped pion source of the Lujan Facility, and will receive $1.5\times10^{22}$ POT in its ongoing 3-year run cycle. CCM is instrumented with 200 8-inch PMTs, of which 80% are coated with wavelength shifting tetraphenyl-butadiene, and 40 1-inch veto PMTs in an optically isolated veto. Cosmogenic muons provide a means of calibrating the detector in the energy range from 100 to 600 MeV of deposited energy. Simulations of the cosmogenic flux can provide important insights as to the overall detector response. In this poster, we present progress towards the development of a calibration based on the predicted shape and rate of the muon spectrum at CCM. Some prospects of the experiment's physics reach are also presented.</abstract>
