Astronomers detected the ring of dark matter by studying the light distorted by the galaxy cluster ZwCl 0024+17. NASA, ESA, M. Jee and H. Ford (Johns Hopkins University) The Third Millennium supplement has devoted an article to the research carried out at CAPA (20/01/2026). What is the universe made of? Aragonese researchers question the cosmos […]
The Center for Astroparticles and High Energy Physics (CAPA), established in 2019, is taking a decisive step in its trajectory and is consolidating itself as a University Research Institute. This new status represents recognition of the excellence of its scientific work and will enable it to access more competitive funding calls, secure greater resources, and
A study by the Center for Astroparticles and High Energy Physics (CAPA-Unizar) establishes the most restrictive limit, refuting the signal from the DAMA/LIBRA experiment, the only one to date that claims to have detected a signal from galactic dark matter. The new, highly significant result, published in Physical Review Letters, represents the culmination of two
The DarkQuantum project, coordinated from the Center for Astroparticles and High Energy Physics (CAPA) at the University of Zaragoza, was recently featured in the Tercer Milenio science section of the newspaper Heraldo de Aragón. The article highlights the project’s innovative approach, combining quantum technologies and particle physics to tackle one of the greatest mysteries of
The Center for Astroparticles and High Energy Physics (CAPA) at the University of Zaragoza has participated in a study published in Nature Astronomy. The research, led by an international collaboration including Professor Jacobo Asorey Barreiro, has discovered a relationship between the orientation of particle jets from supermassive black holes and the minor axis of the elliptical
The international collaboration CAST (CERN Axion Solar Telescope) was created in the early 2000s and has had the participation and leadership of researchers from the Centre for Astroparticles and High Energy Physics (CAPA-Unizar) since its inception. CAST has culminated the efforts of more than two decades of work with the publication in Physical Review Letters
